The enhancements provided by the PS5 Pro will vary depending on the game. However, it is expected to support higher ray tracing accuracy and an artificial intelligence upgrade called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution. Some players complained that the performance mode in the game Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was blurry while running at 60 frames per second (FPS). The PS5 Pro is supposed to provide the game with high-quality visuals (according to Digital Foundry) while running at this speed instead of 30 frames per second.
After months of rumors and leaks, the PlayStation 5 Pro has finally been announced, reportedly 45% faster than the base model and available in November for $700. Despite criticism of the price and performance, technology experts believe that the PS5 Pro release will greatly benefit compatibility with previous versions of the next-gen PS6 platform.
DF Clips recently released a new video from their podcast discussing the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro, where technology experts at Digital Foundry discussed how the release of the PS5 Pro will be beneficial in the long run. It was stated that the PS6 console will greatly benefit from the launch of the PS5 Pro, with the experts explaining:
When PlayStation 6 is launched, these games may receive retroactive updates to run at 60 frames per second.
The base PS5 model greatly benefited from the launch of the PlayStation 4 Pro, which improved the performance of previous-gen games on the base model. Technology experts mentioned that games running at 30 frames per second on the PS5 Pro will appear better than on the base model, and these games are likely to be updated to run at 60 frames per second in the next generation.
Insomniac Games previously confirmed that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart will benefit from the power of PS5 Pro, but a new post on the PlayStation Blog revealed the expected performance of these titles on the new platform.
Insomniac’s Chief Technology Officer, Mike Fitzgerald, describes it as a mix of clear 4K resolution in Fidelity mode and ray tracing with 60 frames per second in Performance mode, providing the best of both worlds for these titles.
The Performance Pro option will be available in all Insomniac titles on PS5, including Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Digital Foundry analysts argue that it may not be necessary to purchase the PS5 Pro to play at 60 frames per second in every available game. The latest episode of Digital Foundry Direct Weekly discusses the PS5 Pro device and its details, covering different display resolution goals within the game, including Performance mode at 864 pixels for the game Alan Wake 2.
When comparing the platform to a PC, Alex Battaglia from Digital Foundry pointed out that the PS5 Pro may not be a great purchase for many people, claiming that the hardware provides strong display resolution and that PSSR is a great addition to Sony’s gaming system.
However, players will be disappointed if they expect 60 or 120 frames per second, as the analysis states:
If you want to get 60 frames per second in every game, then don’t get the PS5 Pro.
The main issue here lies in the same Zen 2 CPU used in the PS5 and Xbox Series S|X in 2020, which is likely the determining factor in many cases and is the same reason behind the expected running of GTA 6 at 30 frames per second across all platforms next year.
In conclusion, here are 15 games we hope to see upgraded on the PS5 Pro.
