Xbone/ps4 was the last boon for PC gaming. 8 cores meant companies finally took multi threading seriously. But by the time the ps5 and series came out developers stopped bothering truly optimizing games. And the added resources of those machines meant they could get even lazier.
Everyone just brute forcing unreal to do what they wanted only made things worse. Everyone just wants to take the shortcut to release the game as quickly and shittily as possible.
This is why I don’t play any AAAs in the post-UE5 era.

Lowkey:

That’s like 90% of UE5 fixed.
