Input Lag Test Results for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves has arrived in early access, and gamers are eager to know how it performs on various platforms. Latency expert Nigel ‘Noodalls’ Woodall conducted tests on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam Deck to compare input lag.

The results show that the PS5 Pro version has the highest latency at 79.29 ms, with around 4.96 frames of lag. However, using the older PS4 version on newer systems can significantly reduce input lag. Running the PS4 version on a PS5 resulted in 51.88 ms or 3.24 frames of latency.

The Xbox Series X|S versions had slightly lower latency at 60.51 ms or 3.78 frames. The Steam Deck’s results are still preliminary, but running Fatal Fury with V-Sync produced slightly lower latency at 61.72 ms or 3.86 frames compared to V-Sync off.

In general, the game’s performance seems to follow the trend of most fighting games, with some variations depending on the platform and configuration.
