Mark Cerny wasted no time introducing the world to the PlayStation 5 Pro this morning, quickly going through the “Big 3” and how they’ll improve the games you play on the PS5.
The PS5 Pro will use a larger GPU, enhanced ray tracing and their own form of AI upscaling called PSSR to give players the best of both graphical modes – fidelity and performance.
A sizzle reel was shown at the end of the presentation, highlighting the games, both new and old, that will see improvements from running on the PS5 Pro.
ALL OF THE CONFIRMED PS5 PRO ENHANCED GAMES SO FAR
- Alan Wake II
- Assassin’s Creed: Shadows
- The Crew: Motorfest
- Demon’s Souls
- Dragon’s Dogma II
- Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth
- The First Descendant
- Gran Turismo 7
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Horizon: Forbidden West
- The Last of Us: Part 2
- Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart
- Stellar Blade
- Spider-Man 2
Several of these games will be patched with free software updates and can easily be identified with a PS5 Pro Enhanced label attached to their game pages, similar to how it all worked with the PS4 Pro.
It’s also worth noting that this is not the only list of games that will support PS5 Pro, just the ones announced at the showcase. Chatting to CNET in an exclusive hands-on, Sony has indicated that 40 to 50 games will receive PS5 Pro updates when the console launches in November.
It’s also worth noting that thanks to an AI-assisted upscaling mode, called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, any game can be enhanced in some way without the need for a patch – though the best improvements will come from games that are officially PS5 Pro enhanced.
The PS5 Pro will cost $1,199 AUD in Australia and release on November 7th with pre-orders begging on September 26th. This doesn’t include a disc drive, so we’ve done the price for both together as well (it can be purchased for $159 separately).
- PS5 Pro 2TB (Digital) – $1,199.95 AUD
- PS5 Pro 2TB with Disc Drive purchased separately- $1,360 AUD
