Though I plan on upgrading to a faster monitor soon, the Xbox Series X and PS5 times below are running at 4K resolution and 60 fps. I measured the loading times between hitting “continue” and gaining control of your character. Thanks to Stephen Totilo and his little white box, we also have times for the Xbox Series S (though not at 4K, of course).

- PlayStation 5: 4.01 seconds
- Xbox Series X: 5.59 seconds

- PlayStation 5: 6.92 seconds
- Xbox Series X: 5.19 seconds

- Xbox Series X: 22.81 seconds
PS5 And Xbox Series X Loading Times, Compared (They’re Close)
So far we’ve shown you how PS5 loads games very quickly and Xbox Series X and S load games very quickly. Long story short, both systems load next-gen games at ludicrous speeds while giving older games a little push. But in order to gauge how ludicrous is ludicrous, we needed to get a couple of...
