The breakout hit of the year, Baldur's Gate 3 has arrived on PlayStation 5 and... it's pretty great actually! In the Digital Foundry tech review, we stack up...
The game goes from 60 FPS to 22 FPS even in performance mode in high population areas (act 3 primarily), that’s pretty brutal. I wonder if this will be a trend given how GPUs see a lot more gen over gen improvements while CPUs don’t.
It’s most likely engine architecture issue for processing objects that has animation/AI. I doubt the CPUs are fully utilized on all cores on PS5. Crowd of AIs are hard on many engine not specifically designed or programmed for them.

Yup, you’re probably right!
