Digital Foundry's technical analysis, reported via Pure Xbox, indicates the Xbox Series X version of the recent Assassin's Creed Unity upgrade renders at a higher internal resolution than the PS5 and PS5 Pro builds.

The breakdown shows the Series X outputting at an internal resolution of 2880x1620, compared with 2304x1296 on both PS5 and PS5 Pro. Digital Foundry notes that there are options and tweaks that can improve the PS5 Pro image, but those adjustments do not close the gap caused by the lower resolution output.

The findings underline that raw hardware class does not guarantee visual supremacy once platform-specific optimisation and rendering choices are taken into account. The Unity upgrade demonstrates how different approaches to upscaling and internal rendering can produce perceptible differences between otherwise comparable next‑gen consoles.
