    I think this game could run on PS4 just fine. Turn off raytracing and a few other things and it would probably work.

    But then, I guess they can’t keep releasing for the old console forever.

        I ran it on an i7 4790k initially and definitely felt it. I think you’re right that whatever APU is in the PS4 would scream and run.

      Given that the issue with the Xbox S is the split screen, I’d suspect that the PS4 would have the same issue.

        PS5 gamers are more likely to put down $70 for a new game than PS4 players are to put down $60 on a new game. It’s probably just not a worthwhile investment.

        Consoles are expensive. Cutting off support to older equipment is rough. Keeping your entertainment “current” is a big ask for a lot of people who are already struggling. As long as people are using the old stuff, devs should do what they can inside the technical limits to extend their lifespan.
