THE FIRST DESCENDANT: HOW TO FIX FRAMERATE ISSUES ON PS5
Although the launch of The First Descendant went smoothly, many PlayStation 5 players are complaining about performance issues. In this regard, the development team has proposed a temporary solution, rather inconvenient but useful for those who want to enjoy the free looter shooter at its best.
Apparently, the framerate issues of The First Descendant on PlayStation 5 are not due to poor optimization of the game, since it is possible to play the same mission twice and only have fluidity problems once of the two times. While waiting for the software house to fix this annoying problem, which does not appear to be present on Xbox Series X|S , players have two different solutions.
The best option is to reinstall the free game. It would seem that the cause of the problem is the preload , which is why not all players are experiencing these problems and some claim that The First Descendant runs perfectly on PS5. For this very reason, uninstalling the free to play from your SSD and redownloading it from scratch should definitely fix the problem, so that you can dedicate yourself to grinding without framerate drops.
If after trying this solution the problems still appear, we can only suggest temporarily installing the PlayStation 4 version , which does not seem to suffer from these performance problems. This is obviously a temporary fix , while waiting for the developers to publish a corrective update that will allow you to return to the next-gen version of the shooter.
