Listen "DF Direct Weekly #224: PS5 Low Power Mode=PS6 Handheld? Fallout Bakersfield, Crytek 25th Anniversary"
Episode Synopsis
The previously leaked PlayStation 5 Power Saving mode enters beta firmware, stoking rumours that it lays the groundwork for Sony's next generation portable. Meanwhile, Cyberpunk 2077's VRR "no show" on Xbox Series X gets official comment from CD Projekt RED and the team are enthused by an amazing "Fallout Bakersfield" teaser trailer. Oblivion Remastered 1.2 on consoles is tested, and as expected, shows virtually no improvement. Moving on, the team are fascinated by 8K ray-traced balls and celebrations begin for Crytek's 25th anniversary.
