PS4/PS5 or PC: Which Platform Is Recommended?

PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC Are Recommended

When it comes to playing AC6 on either PS4/5 or PC, it's recommended to go for a PS5 or a mid-range or higher-spec PC.

There are several concerns with the PS4 version that you should take note of. In Elden Ring, the frame rate on the PS4 was limited to a variable frame rate with 30 FPS as the upper limit. In action games, the frame rate can significantly affect the gaming experience. Additionally, due to processing power issues, there were instances where certain terrain details, like footprints, weren't rendered, and damage detection effects such as frost don't appear on the PS4 version either.

Considering that the recommended PC specs for Armored Core 6 are similar to Elden Ring's, the same issues could occur, leading to an unsatisfactory gaming experience. In general, it's recommended to play on a PS5, Xbox Series X, or a PC that meets or exceeds the recommended requirements. Note that this recommendation is based on PCs that meet or exceed the recommended specifications.

The PC Version Supports 120 FPS

If you choose the PC version, it's worth considering that it supports 120 FPS. To make the most of this feature, you'll need a PC that meets or exceeds the recommended specifications, as well as a compatible monitor. If you're aiming for a more comfortable gaming experience, then the PC version may be the way to go.
