PSA: Armored Core 6's PS4 Pro Version on PS5 Appears to Run at a Locked 60 FPS

ign.com:

While the PS5 version of Armored Core 6 runs very well and mostly at 60 FPS in performance mode, the PS4 Pro version run on a PS5 appears to give you a locked frame rate of 60 FPS, much like it did for Elden Ring.

As noted by Lance McDonald (@manfightdragon) and confirmed by IGN, the PS4 Pro version of Armored Core 6 will run with a locked framerate of 60 FPS on PS5 despite Namco Bandai saying it maxes out at 30 FPS at 1800p resolution. While it takes a small resolution hit, those looking for the best performance may want to give this a shot.

Despite Bandai Namco telling us that the PlayStation 4 Pro build of Armored Core 6 maxes out at 30fps at 1800p resolution, just like Elden Ring, if you boot up the PS4 Pro build on a PlayStation 5 the framerate locks to 60fps.

As previously mentioned, this was the case with Elden Ring as well, as we showed in our Elden Ring performance review.

"One nice benefit of the PlayStation 5’s backwards compatibility mode is you can also play the PS4 version, or in this case the PS4 Pro version, which provides a reduced image quality of 3200x1800 (likely a reconstructed method as per Sekiro) and some graphical cutbacks," IGN's Michael Thompson wrote about Elden Ring. "The reward is a perfectly locked 60fps readout from all tested sections. This offers the absolute best way to play if performance is your main priority, and that includes the PC due to the current patched version experiencing heavy prolonged stutter and slow down when it happens."

McDonald went on to say that the PS5 version of Armored Core 6 runs "GREAT almost all the time, but it does have moments of slowdown that aren't hard to see whatsoever. They
