Digital Foundry: Street Fighter 6 Review - PS5 vs Xbox Series X/S vs PS4/Pro, Input Lag Tested + More!

The final release of Street Fighter 6 blows open all modes for testing - including the World Tour adventure and Battle Hub. Every machine sticks the landing with a perfect 60fps in the arcade mode - though Xbox Series S takes some surprising visual cutbacks to get there. We also take a look at the state of the game's input latency, where results courtesy of @noodalls reveal this is one of the most responsive in the series history. That is, with the right set-up.

Get out of the Starfield creative decision defense mode and get us that breakdown! STAT!

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
- Not much changed between demo and final in terms of platform comparison
- PS5|SX 4K target with 60 FPS (in arcade mode)

- World tour in Graphics mode has uneven 30 FPS in battles and 60 in traversal
- Toggling performance mode drops res to 1440p/60 FPS in world tour battles.
- The performance toggle only makes a difference here, it does not change anything in any other mode.
- PS5|SX show some signs of checkerboard but resolution is static.

- Series S runs with one mode, 1080p/60 FPS in all modes, including world tour battles.
- One-off drops in traversal but otherwise locked 60 FPS in every mode.

Last gen: (PS4 and Pro only)
- 1 v 1 arcade mode runs at locked 60 on both.
- PS4: 1080p, PS4 Pro: 1440p.
- World tour battles capped to 30 FPS on PS4 and Pro
- Traversal are unlocked 30 to 60 (mostly 40 to 60) on both

- World tour low quality textures, half refresh enemies aren't fixed from demo to final.
- PS4 / Pro have massive texture streaming bugs that are also untouched.

- Battle Hub is native 4K and 60 FPS with only one off drops on modern consoles.

- Series S specific cutbacks:
- 1080p versus 4K.
- Fine details like hair, textures, materials take a hit. The TAA struggles to resolve hair especially
- Series S cuts the muscle deformation tech seen on SX|PS5 in finishing moves
- Background details like density of NPCs and shadows are also cut back.

- PS4 to PS5 cutbacks
- SSR is completely cut-off in arcade mode, ambient shading also dialed down
- SSR is on PS4 Pro the same quality as Series S
- Environmental object physics are removed (eg cherry blossoms don't animate)
- Base PS4 and Pro (surprisingly) have some higher quality textures compared to Series S

*adding latency in a bit*


- Latency testing:
- Pretty consistent across modern consoles and PC
- 58 ms with a margin of one, two MS. Series S has the fastest latency but it's anecdotal *
- Last gen: PS4 and Pro version has 70, 73MS responses
- The game has a built in mode to reduce latency


* You need to enable the input reduction delay option to reach these fast latency responses.
* without this option enabled, the average latency can be as high as 90MS.

One thing I love outside pure gameplay is the Resolution/120hz mode(outside of World Tour). The smoothness of my inputs now. Looks beautiful. Also, no screen tearing on my LG C2 unlike the beta/demo. So bravo to Takayuki Nakayama and Shuhei Matsumoto team for that.

Sounds like you can't go wrong with either of the current gen versions, though Series S has some very questionable cutbacks.
 
Series s is locked 60 1080p seems decent with cutbacks. Seems decent when you consider the main consoles have to drop to 1440p to be 60 in all modes amd last gen versions are 30 fps
