One X also has longest load times for some reason. PS4 / Pro also have less pop-in compared to either One versions. Xbox One and One X seem to have missing a lot of environmental shadows that PS4 / Pro have, similar to Series S. Assets in the other last-gen versions look the same, the same compromises seen in most cases. Unlocked FPS option but only makes it very juddery with max of 40s.

Stretches of 20 FPS in areas and combat scenarios. 30 FPS target but dropped frames very frequent. Lots of pop-in, much longer loading times. AO also worse, shadow maps are lower resolution/quality. A lot of smaller things like wall adornments also taken off and assets replaced with lower quality ones. Texture loading also slow/compromised, can take upwards of 10 seconds to load full textures. Those are Skyrim PS3 levels of slowness, yikes.- Compared weakest last gen with weakest current gen console version According to Digital Foundry, loading the open world or fast traveling across the map can take anywhere from 40–70 seconds. When you do hit one of those loading screens, you should probably go grab a snack. Some doors that usually open as you walk up to them now require a full loading screen to transition from one place to another (an unintended throwback to old PS2 Harry Potter games). Hallways that you can usually see all the way down are interrupted by loading doors as the PS4/Xbox One struggle to render a new chunk of castle. Scroll through Euden's other PS4/PS5 snapshots and you'll also spot doors all around the castle that don't exist in the current-gen version. More Platform Hogwarts Differences between PS4 & PS5! (PS4/PS5) from r/HarryPotterGame The stained glass corridors look nice in isolated comparison pictures, but the catch is that darn near every hallway, bridge, and antechamber in Hogwarts that previously loaded the outside world is now sealed up, as if Hogwarts is having a permanent snow day. (I love the ambience of the stained glass)," wrote Lluluna. The PS4 version looks just as awesome, if not even better in some places. "Ok but these stained glass bridges slap," added Captains_Log1701. "How come Ps4 bridges are prettier? cries in ps5," commented user Environmental_Poem68.

I'm not the only one enjoying last-gen Hogwarts.
