PS5 SSD Vs PS4 HDD Load Times Comparison

Santa Monica Studios’ Norse-themed sequel to the classic God of War trilogy was breathtaking when it launched. With a sequel planned for PS5, many players are likely to want to replay God of War ahead of time. Load times aren’t terrible on PS4, but switching over to PS5 offers some substantial improvements, especially when booting up the game.


One teammate should be designated as the Relic holder. That player can use the Relic to attack enemies, jump and aim down sight to slam the Relic down, block to create a shield around the user and allies, and the user's Super is replaced with a projectile that shoots from the Relic its

This chest is located in the Gorgon Labyrinth. Instead of heading left, head right. A locked red door will be found. The team will need to scour the maze in order to find and destroy three Vex boxes to unlock the door. The first box is located inside the maze, the second near the exit, and the final box is just past the exit. To find the first box, head down the pathway to complete the maze. As the team heads left, jump on the rocks in the light and look right. The first box can be seen in the dista


Keep platforming around a corner that juts to the right and continue upward and forward. Eventually, players will come across an opening on the right when they reach the final platform. Journeying through that door will lead Guardians through some twists and turns in what feels like a ventilation system. Shoot some metal grates to reveal more pathways and eventually jump down to the floor below. This is where fans will come across some of the quest’s primary mechanics to solve some puzzles: Levers and Spo

We’ve taken some of PS4’s most popular, and longest-loading titles, and put them to the test on PS5’s SSD. Do note, to get the most out of PS4 titles on PS5, the games have to be installed on the PS5’s SSD. You can still play PS4 games off an external HDD, but you won’t get the load time benefits.

Ubisoft’s already large open worlds continued to expand exponentially throughout the PS4 generation. It all started with Caribbean in 2013 and ended with all of Ancient Greece in 2018. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey delivered Ancient Greece in an extremely-detailed way, which also meant some extremely-long load times. Getting into the game could take minutes, and even worse, getting around quickly or back into the game after death also cost precious time. PS5 mostly solves this, shaving off about 10 seconds when first booting up the game, and bringing the load time into the game well under a minute.


Combined, these mods mean grenades have a negligible cooldown and that Golden Gun super can be regained in less than 45 seconds. Plenty of time to use two or three times on Taniks if he is not defeated in less than three phases. Naturally, the build is not worth using without Celestial Nighthawk for that massive precision hit, but once acquired, it is devastating in boss fig

The PS4’s swan song, Ghost of Tsushima dazzled us with its beautiful world, which took some time to load. Unfortunately, playing the game off the SSD on PS5 doesn’t impact the loading times. Despite launching a patch that optimizes the game for PS5, it does not appear that the SSD plays much of a factor. It’s extremely odd as loading has benefited every other PS4 game tested.

Of all the PS4 and Xbox One AAA titles, perhaps none is more infamous for its load times than Destiny 2 . Booting up the game is a chose on current-gen machines, and then comes loading into the planets and Tower. Considering you have to go to the Tower to collect bounties, missions and decrypt engrams, getting around Destiny 2 is a chore. While we await the proper PS5 version coming December 8, playing the game on PS5 via backwards compatibility actually isn’t so bad. Load times are dramatically lower than on PS4, making getting around less of a chore. It excites us to imagine what next-gen load times look like.


The final encounter in this arena is a boss encounter. Players will need to work together to defeat the Templar, making use of the Oracle strategy used in the third encounter. To start the encounter, one player must pick up the Relic located where the cleansing was done before. Picking up the Relic summons the Temp
A great example of this can be seen in the differences between The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. On a technical level, Skyrim is clearly superior. It looks so much better than Morrowind that it’s almost silly to compare the two, and its combat doesn’t suffer from pure RNG like Morrowind’s does. Skyrim’s point-to-point fast travel opens up new options for combat and exploration; annoying mechanics like stat drain spells have been removed entirely and character building is practically automatic. All one has to do is play the game. These are All Graviton Spike Upgrades things that make Skyrim much more convenient than Morrowind, but they don’t necessarily make it better.
