Digital Foundry published a video analysis of the technical sector. Sonic Frontiers Comparison of PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, One, PC and Nintendo Switch versions. Opinion of tech geeks not entirely positive. Clearly in some successful ways, the game suffers from obvious popup issues, particularly evident on the Nintendo console.
In this sense, John Linneman is outspoken. “Sonic Frontiers shows (all platforms) one of the worst pop-ins personally I’ve seen so far in modern games. While exploring, it’s hard to ignore all the structures, platforms, and enemies that suddenly appear.”
Also criticize imperfect collisions and the visual impact of rain, which are considered quite unpleasant.
Just no negative notes. Digital Foundry supported the creation of characters with highly detailed models. animations and the game world in general, especially when it comes to lighting, pop-in issues aside, which is particularly impressive.
As for the console versions of Sonic Frontiers, the best ones are the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions, which are the only versions the game has reached. 60fps with dynamic 1800p resolution. Other consoles don’t exceed 30fps in some cases, including the Series S, which has framerate issues.

Things get worse by visiting the game’s various islands, and the Switch pop-in problem becomes unbearable in his opinion.
“The situation on various islands is much less impressive. I was expecting a downgrade (from the Switch), but the loss of visual fidelity is so severe that I find it extremely annoying. The world is extremely blurry, the textures are of poor quality, and the pop-in is more than terrifying. beyond.”
