One of the best fans of 2023 is getting a PS5 Pro upgrade
One of the most beloved and critically acclaimed soul games of 2023 has confirmed that it is getting a PlayStation 5 Pro update.
With the release date of the PS5 Pro hours away, Digital Foundry tested a few unreleased games to see how they would work on the new device. As they say, titles like Elden Ringwhich often struggle on the more difficult levels of games on the original PS5, can run close to 60 FPS in Quality Mode, although there are still some variations. The same can be said for titles such as Black Legend: Wukongand Metaphor: ReFantaziowhich also shows improvements in performance and provides a smoother overall experience.
The PS5 Pro shows a significant improvement in the performance of unregulated games
It is important to remember that the tested games are not yet controlled, which means that, if they are patched, they can run better and show a greater performance improvement. Although not from the latest release or from FromSoftware Black Legend: Wukong Confirmed to be getting an update, Sony has released a list of titles that will get the PS5 Pro treatment.
Moreover, there is the announcement of Sony's upcoming technology, PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), which is said to work similarly to Nvidia's DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and can make a big difference. According to various reports, PSSR can make PS4 games better, improve the player experience and help justify the PS5 Pro's impressive price tag.
The results shared by Digital Foundry show that the PS5 Pro produces about 30% in terms of performance improvement compared to the 45% that Sony announced. However, these numbers may improve over time with proper title improvements, some patches and PSSR additions. Whether it will be enough to compensate for the back of the PS5 Slim tablet not compatible with the PS5 Pro and a large part of the other problems that have arisen since the announcement of the console remains to be seen. For now, all players can sit back, wait for the coming November 7, and hope that the success of the new equipment justifies the investment.
