    I tried playing TSW on PC and PS4, I noticed that the PS4 was a downgrade compared to the PC. The PC edition is quite better, but I have a question. Are the graphics same in the PS5 compared to the PS4?? If not, will rush hour change that??

    Currently the PS5 runs the PS4 version of the game in backwards compatibility mode as there isn't a dedicated PS5 version yet (supposedly coming with the summer update and rush hour).
    There's a small improvement in graphics thanks to the PS5 auto HDR and it does run a bit smoother but other than that, it's the same as PS4.

    This couldn't be more wrong OP, ignore it. The game runs at constant silky 60fps on ps5 and on a 4k display the graphics are light years ahead of ps4. Even the draw distance is leaps ahead and the track and sleepers render in far quicker. There are also more passengers. It's worth buying a ps5 just for the upgrade, the dedicated ps5 version coming soon will further improve things.

    You say more passengers yet that just isn't true.
    I ran several services on different lines yesterday (including SEHS) and there were a total of 5 passengers max on the platforms.
    Draw distance and scenery pop in are still issues on the 5, even on max settings.

    Yes, there's 4K but my PS4 pro ran the game in 4K HDR also.
    As I did say it runs smoother than on the PS4, even running from an external HDD.

    It is worth getting a PS5 when they are available and the dedicated PS5 version comes out but atm the game is still a PS4 game.

    It runs at constant 60fps. Stop lying.
    I have compared the 2 versions. On scenarios on ps4 there are empty carriages with no passengers whatsover, on ps5 there are heaps of peds. There have been multiple threads here asking why there are no peds on ps4 scenarios, search for them.
    It outputs at 4k. The draw distance is VASTLY improved.

    Maybe try Specsavers.

    What youre saying makes no sense
    Youre playing a PS4 game on a PS5
    The only bump you get is in frame rate and loading times due to the extra power
    But the game isn't populating stations with more passengers the draw distance isn't improved at all because, again, this is a PS4 game designed for PS4 resources
    Maybe you just sold yourself that because you love your PS5 so much

    and the snarky comment about needing glasses is really unnecessary

    edit: you really think it runs at 60 fps constantly on PS5? load up Peninsula Corridor at San Francisco with the station full of trains and watch your frames DROP

    How can a PS5 suddenly pop up more passengers when the game is actually coded for PS4? Answer it can’t! Logical innit

    It is possible for a piece of software to read what hardware is available and turn on different options. Whether the passenger system in TSW does that isn’t clear but it could do if it was coded that way. The game engine does a lot of that work automatically. There’s a fair bit of stuff included in the PS4 versions of TSW that is just disabled for the PS4. If the game engine is doing that then it is entirely possible that it recognises that the hardware is capable of allowing them to be switched on again. 4K support is one such option that is possible if the hardware supports it.

    However, it is a fine line with regard to violating Sony's standard developer agreement (and, in some countries, consumer law): It's all right for software to use more intensive or detailed graphics running on PS5, but it can't include more gameplay elements. Passenger density still I think qualifies as "improved graphics," but it's getting close to the line.

    That’s right but the post I was replying to was saying it wasn’t even possible in the code.

    Certainly it's possible; it's just an engine variable, which on PC one can tweak.

    If that is indeed the case why would they?

    PS5 comes out so DTG would want people to re purchase the core base game as a PS5 version wouldn’t they?

    We don't know exactly how the upgrades will work for the different platforms, but it will certainly not require anyone to repurchase any content that they already own, unless they were to switch from one platform to another. And PS4 is essentially the same platform as PS5. I'm pretty sure about that.

    There is NOT more passengers on PS5 than PS4, this is fake news and totally made up

    I have both a PS4 and PS5, and there is no difference at all except the loading is a little quicker on PS5, the graphics are very similar but slightly crisper on PS5 but not by much

    Wrong. If you cant see the massive difference in frame rate I don't know what to tell you.

    Hi ALL,
    I chose a Consel ( PS4 ) when I decide to get back into he sim again as opposed to a PC because of all the updates and problems I have had with windows updates and drives in the past, I was lucky enough to be offered a PS5 consel recently and the difference is faster frame rate, slightly crisper and brighter colors and a much smother game play.

    Fake news I'm afraid, there are no more passengers on the PS5 version vs the PS4 version. I think you are getting the PC confused with the PS5 version lol
