Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin Framerate Better on PS4 than Xbox One

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin runs at 1080p on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but Digital Foundry's analysis of the remaster found the PS4 version boasts a higher framerate. 

The game aims for 60fps on both systems and the two versions “engage v-sync at all times” but Digital Foundry recorded more drops on Xbox One. 

“The Forest of Fallen Giants area is a good example, where a barrage of enemies causes a read-out of between 40-50fps on Xbox One, while PS4 operates within the 50-60fps range,” the report comments.

“Even while uncontested beneath the giant, arching trees of Things Betwixt, a regular margin of 10fps exists between the two with PS4 operating at a near perfect 60fps, while Xbox stutters along at 50fps. Sony’s machine does not produce a perfect 60fps of course, but it is a consistently better performer, and in a game that demands a smoother framerate, it can make a difference.”
