Psychonauts 2 is almost here (finally) and it seems the game is not only super fun, but a solid technical achievement as well.

As we reported earlier, Psychonauts 2 will only be playable on PS5 via backward compatibility, with boosted 60fps performance being the only additional feature you can expect. Well, it seems Double Fine didn’t put much effort into optimizing loading from the PS5’s speedy SSD either, as starting up a level takes around 7 seconds on the Xbox Series X/S and nearly 20 seconds on PS5. At least it isn’t as bad Xbox One and PS4 – loading a level takes over a minute on last-gen systems. If you have around 25 minutes to spare, you can check out the full Psychonauts 2…
