If you’ve been playing FFXIV on PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 4 Pro, then you’ll know that the framerate never really stays at 60fps. How does it perform on PlayStation 5? Please note that this is not the PS5 version of Final Fantasy XIV. This is still the PS4 version of the game. When the beta is available to play on PlayStation 5 in April, I’ll be sure to test it out.
As you may know, I already made a video for Final Fantasy XIV a couple of months ago. Back then, I couldn’t test the PS4 Pro mode, but now I can. If you want to see how PS4 Standard mode performs on PS5, check out this video I uploaded back in December: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPEaJ7LvvOY
For this video, PS4 Pro mode has been selected as the Display Setting. Previously, I had a 1080p display and I couldn’t select PS4 Pro mode. I believe that’s because the PS5 doesn’t have a Supersampling Mode like PS4 Pro does. In this mode, the game is running at 1440p and 60fps. Draw distance is also set to high. Much like PS4 Standard mode on PS5, Final Fantasy XIV appears to run at a smooth 60fps on PS5 from the 20 minutes I played. I’m not very far in the game, as you can tell, but I didn’t notice any drops during this playthrough.
It’ll be interesting to see how the PS5 version of this game will look and perform on PlayStation 5. Especially with the load times because they already seem pretty good on PS5. Although, in that video they shared it looks nearly instantaneous, so that’s pretty cool. 4K is always a welcome resolution no matter what display you’re playing on, and I do hope it can maintain 60fps.
This is Final Fantasy XIV for the PlayStation 4 running on a PlayStation 5. The recording is in 4K and 60fps. Gameplay captured from a PS5 using an Elgato 4K60 Pro.

Good informative video mate
Hi there, i have a Problem with the Game.
Transfered the Game from my external HDD of the ps4 to the ps5.
When starting the Game from the desk it say it can't get started.
Any tips for me?
There is really no difference your playing off ps5 console with the ps4 client for ffxiv not the ps5 client you will see bigger difference on the 13th when that comes out so this is kind of pointless

The 4K version is still processing, so it'll be in 1080p60 for now.
