Xbox-published ‘Pentiment’ to include unique PS5 features

With the announcement that Microsoft are set to bring a select number of their exclusive Xbox titles to PlayStation and Switch, many fans wondered just how much the publisher would allow its teams to take advantage of these competing pieces of hardware. Fortunately, it seems as though the power of the PS5 will be fully utilised, adding DualSense features and more.

As shared by Resetera user Joule, the PlayStation 5 version of Obsidian Entertainment’s Pentiment seems to take full advantage of the console’s unique hardware. Presumably using the console’s Kraken compression technology, the game takes up just 6.37GB compared to the Xbox version’s 11.4GB.

Great things come in small packages, and despite being a unique selling point for the PS5, Pentiment actually offers support for the DualSense’s features (advanced haptics etc…) – an unexpected yet welcome surprise indeed.

Finally, the PS5 version of the game can run at 120fps on supported displays. Of all the aforementioned Exclusive features, this one will most likely find its way to the Xbox versions at some point in the future.

Still, it is highly encouraging to see that Xbox devs are willing to use PS5’s unique hardware advantages.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
