That's pretty interesting considering that problems getting co-op working "properly" on Series S is the reason we've been given thus far for a lack of XBOX release.
I know it's been described as a performance and optimization issue since Microsoft demands feature parity between Series X and S but to hear that the mode preventing an XBOX release doesn't even actually work properly on PS5 is... amusing... And disappointing but mostly amusing.
Series S performance with it like this would have been something to behold.
I'm not sure why "performance mode" is disabled in co-op either. In single player it runs at a decent pace. It's just as soon as player two joins that it starts to feel like a PS3 game.
I mean, it's still fun, the underlying game is clearly good, and occasionally the hitching stops for a few minutes and it's less frustrating, but it soon comes back again. It's like it's doing something daft like reloading the zone between characters.
