The leap from the eighth to ninth console generations wasn’t marked by any huge technical leap, like the shift to 3D polygonal graphics in the ‘90s with the fifth gen. Graphics have plateaued, with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One games from a decade ago still looking top-notch next to their PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X successors. Instead, current-gen hardware has been defined by incremental improvements, like real-time ray tracing and lightning-quick load times. Because of that, the biggest hardware leap can be found not inside the consoles, but in the palm of your hand.
