Sony has taken the wraps off an update for its mid-generation consoles. PS5 Pro will be launched in November this year, the internal structure will be greatly enhanced, and the price will also be significantly increased. One of the promises of the machine is “PS5 Pro Enhanced Edition” games, a handful of which have already been released. However, it seems that more games will receive full updates when the PS5 Pro launches.
According to CNET reports, they had the opportunity to experience PS5 Pro first-hand before the PS5 Pro was released.
CNET said that “the 40 to 50 games planned for PS5 Pro upgrades at the November 7 hardware launch will focus on comprehensive upgrades to 4K and 60fps, but there will also be a series of other graphical enhancements, including new volumetric lighting and effects. , a richer gaming experience.” Graphics, more on-screen background characters, and modes that boost gaming to 120fps or 8K. “
CNET saw some of this firsthand. Author Scot Stein has personally experienced quite a few games, but “Gran Turismo 7” is the highlight, with its new 8K mode and 4K ray tracing mode.
The article also mentions my speculation at the time of the console’s launch that the PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) upgrade would be available across the entire PlayStation catalog, meaning older games could get a nice visual boost. However, CNET says this won’t work directly out of the box – instead, it “requires the game to be updated via a patch” to enable PSSR.
Hopefully this will be something very easy for developers to do. If we’re lucky, this will be an easy option they can enable, thus encouraging them all to go back and turn it on. At worst, this can be a more cumbersome operation, which means not all developers will be willing to do it.
