Marvel’s Avengers fans are impressed by PS5 loading times, but not PS5 upgrades

Marvel’s Avengers received its next generation versions and brought upgraded versions of the game to PS5 and Xbox Series X / S yesterday. The PS5 version in particular has received praise and condemnation since that release, with loading times seemingly drastically reduced, but a complicated upgrade process that accompanies it, as Digital Foundry points out, takes the PS4 Pro version of the game about 62 seconds. to download. one of the chapters of the game, with the PS5 achieving the same performance in just 4 seconds. The community of the game was impressed with one of the top rated posts on the game currently written under the title: ‘I know everyone is talking the Roadmap and Hawkeye, but seriously, I’m losing it due to the PS5 loading time brother “.

Fans in the comments respond very well to an explanatory video attached to the message (which shows a player uploading from the PS5 home screen in about 34 seconds to play the game), with computer gamers saying that even their strong power machines do not have the same benefits. On Twitter, some users said that the update is worth it just for loading times. Series X players also reported similar achievements in the new Xbox version of the game.

Have you played Marvel’s Avengers?

YESNO

But a difference between the two consoles lies in how players upgrade the game on the latest generation versions. There is a lot made of a Twitter thread from the Avengers team, which explains in detail how to safely migrate a PS4 savings game to the PS5 version.

The current system means that both the PS4 and PS5 versions need to be installed, open the fully updated PS4 version to migrate the data, and then open the PS5 version to download it again. As many have noticed, the process on Xbox consoles is as simple as downloading the new version and opening it for the first time.

Of course, this is not just a Crystal Dynamics issue, with several PS4-PS5 upgrades causing problems for gamers – to the point where Sony had to add new features to prevent it.

I would always say PlayStation has a better library for the first party than XBox, but also the complicated way in which you need to update games from last generation to current generation is absolutely offered by XBox’s Smart Delivery.

The hoops that make the Avengers upgrade make you go crazy.
