Beast of Reincarnation DF Review - PS5/Xbox/PC - Game Freak's UE5 Debut Is A Mixed Bag

Digital Foundry has published their technical review of Beast of Reincarnation across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The title marks Game Freak’s first project built on Unreal Engine 5, and the verdict is mixed. While the UE5 transition shows some visual gains, performance inconsistencies and optimization issues hold it back from a clean launch experience. Digital Foundry breaks down frame pacing, ray tracing overhead, and platform-specific quirks in full detail.

The bottom line: Game Freak’s engine debut works, but it’s far from polished.
