As. Crazy as it might sound, the Test Drive Unlimited series is the reason I ended up being the editor-in-chief of this very website. Needless to say this franchise has a special place in my heart. True, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown was not developed by the original studio, but some of its members used to work at Eden Games. Since we got our copies of the game a little bit too late, we couldn't play much, even less so as we ran into a serious bug on Xbox Series X (for some reason, the game now keeps crashing, but the devs are aware and it seems to be a network related issue). Nacon provided us with a PS5 and PC version but we still didn't have much time to play. On PC, the game is very demanding and our RTX 2080 Ti cannot hold a steady 60 fps framerate with either high or ultra settings, unless we set the resolution to 1080p and use DLSS. As a result, image quality takes a pretty big hit. When trying to run the game at 1440p with DLSS, we can't go beyond the medium preset, and it's not even perfect. It's a shame as the PC version looks sharper than its console counterpart. Note that we've also seen some pretty visible slowdowns on PS5 when using the Performance mode in cockpit cam. Since we had very little time with this mode on Xbox, we can't say if the issue exists on Microsoft's machine, to the same extent or a lesser one.
