Reply to comment by Sea-Anywhere-799 in PS5 or Series X (Need Advice) by Sea-Anywhere-799

Yep, that's correct. If you have space to spare, you can also run PS4 games from the internal or SSD (there's a small improvement to loading with some titles in this scenario).

Thanks. Also I know loading times are faster on both consoles and Xbox has quick resume but how are loading times on ps5?

When you compare like for like PS5/Series X games, the PS5 is usually a little bit faster. A lot of the PS5 exclusives have pretty much instant loading.

Ahh ok but other big games from ubisoft, Warner Brothers, etc are still fast right? And graphics I've heard are the same right? Sorry for all the questions.

Pretty much. Just for a comparison there (granted it's not perfectly like for like) I booted up PS4 AC Odyssey, and PS5 AC Valhalla.

From hitting "continue" on the title screen to being able to control your character, Odyssey took over a minute, Valhalla was 13 seconds.

Saints Row 3 Remaster took 8 seconds from pressing continue to being in the open world.

I haven't really done any side by side comparisons with the two consoles, but have watched a bunch of Digital Foundry videos. They're effectively the same - Series X will sometimes have slightly higher resolution but slightly lower framerate. In most cases you'd have to go through the games with a tooth comb to really see any differences
