Performance Issues on Multiple Platforms
Performance remains a hot topic. Reports indicate that the remaster isn't just problematic on current-gen consoles; users also face issues on PCs. One player mentioned,

"It’s not the engine, it’s the features in the engine devs can turn them off."
Another gamer highlighted the challenges, mentioning,
"having the entire world loaded will definitely stress the S simply from the ram standpoint,"
or the to other titles, noting,
