We all know that the quality mode is not available when playing on a PS5 - it is for Xbox Series X.
Could the reason be Smart Delivery?
Quality Mode is not present on Xbox One or Xbox One X but it is present on Xbox Series X. Smart Delivery allows developers to pack in specific code/assets that only runs on Xbox Series X for example.
This is probably why they could have this feature on XSX but not on One or One X.
On the PS5 its different it appears. Sony does not allow specific code/features for PS5 - it has to be a new version. If they want a feature without releasing a completely separate SKU they have to put it in all the versions (or only PS4 Pro and PS5).
Could it be that? It was an "easy" thing to add Quality Mode for XSX with the help of Smart Delivery without releasing a separate "next gen patch/release" and hard/impossible to do the same for PS5?
If this is true it means that if they wanted Quality Mode in PS5 they had to put it in even in PS4 Pro and that would have been hard or impossible. 5-10 FPS at best if they even get it running with the hardware limitations.
