Battlefield 6 Console Comparison Reveals PS5 Pro Advantage Over Xbox Series S

Battlefield 6 is shaping up to be one of the most polished shooters of the year, with early console comparisons revealing how each platform handles the action-packed gameplay.

A recent technical breakdown by ElAnalistaDeBits, based on the open beta, shows both strengths and compromises across PlayStation 5 Pro, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.

On the PlayStation 5 Pro, the game shines with a higher average resolution, richer particle effects, more debris during destruction, and longer draw distances, giving it the visual edge. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions are neck and neck, though Sony’s system edges ahead slightly in terrain detail and particle quality.

The Xbox Series S, aiming to keep gameplay at a smooth 60 FPS, sacrifices some visual flair. Screen space reflections are removed, draw distances shortened, and lighting and shadow quality reduced in its single display mode. These changes keep performance stable but at the cost of some graphical depth.

Despite these differences, all versions appear well-optimized, offering solid and consistent performance. The open beta, held over the past weekend, drew huge crowds-peaking at more than 520,000 players on Steam alone. While cheating incidents marred some matches, overall player feedback has been highly positive, fueling anticipation for launch.

Battlefield 6 will release on October 10 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. With its technical polish and large-scale battles, it’s already looking like one of the year’s standout multiplayer shooters.
