Many AAA/high end games run at lower internal resolutions and/or frame rates on PS5/XSX. Otherwise PSSR would not have been a hyped marketing feature, they’d just run games at native 4k on PS5 Pro, but no, it needs PSSR.
PS5 Example: https://www.digitalfoundry.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2023-alan-wake-2-on-playstation-5-remedy-raises-the-bar-for-visual-accomplishment-once-again
Below 1080p, even lower than 900p, that’s for the 60fps target performance mode, there is no 120 mode
So the average is below 60fps, because it’s not always hitting the target

I also see the PS5 at 57fps in that article
You realize that not every game on Steam is capable of 4k yeah…?
Of course there’s gonna be loads of examples that don’t meet the bar. That doesn’t mean the bar isn’t exceeded.
Yeesh, quit reading reviews and just google ps5 4k 120hz games and get a bloody list.
This shouldn’t be so difficult to figure out on your own.
I never said “every” or “none” on either side. But the heavy games often do not hit that bar or even get close to it. If all you need is a single example of a game hitting 4k120fps in order to consider it a 4k/120 system, well you can always run Quake 1 (with a source port) at that quality lol.
It’s just a bit of a stretch. I really only jumped in cause of the original comment about “4k/240” which has since been deleted anyways. Calling PS5 a 4k/120 system is reaching, but whatever. You can parrot their marketing material instead of assessing the real world results of the actual graphically demanding games.
