Even More PS5 Pro Enhanced Games Confirmed via PlayStation Store – IGN
The list of games set to receive a PS5 Pro Enhanced update has grown significantly after eagle-eyed fans spotted the label attached to a raft of games on the PlayStation Store.
Redditor ZXXII compiled a helpful list showing 54 games with the PS5 Pro Enhanced label on the PlayStation Store, but there may be more, and more may be added in the run up to the PS5 Pro’s release on November 7.
PS5 Pro, due out in November priced $700, has an AI-powered upscaling feature called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) that can automatically improve the image clarity of games.
But Sony has said several games will be patched with free software updates for gamers to take advantage of the PS5 Pro’s features (IGN has a list of all the confirmed PS5 Pro Enhanced games so far). These games can be identified with a PS5 Pro Enhanced label within their title.
Here’s the list, as compiled on reddit:
PSVR2 Games:
What we don’t know is how exactly each of the games new to the list will make use of the more powerful PS5 Pro, but of course the hope is higher and more stable frame-rates while maintaining the resolution and visual detail usually associated with quality modes.
We do know how some of the games will make use of the PS5 Pro, however, now that IGN has had a chance to speak to developers about it. At a recent PS5 Pro preview event, we spoke with the technical leads of some of PlayStation’s biggest games, including Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and The Last of Us Part 2 to discuss what improvements we can expect to see now that there’s a more powerful PS5 on the market.
In an interview with IGN, Saber Interactive Chief Creative Officer Tim Willits said he’s hopeful the PS5 Pro will improve Space Marine 2 by default via PSSR, but did not confirm a PS5 Pro Enhanced patch.
