PlayStation let several outlets and creators go hands-on with the PS5 Pro this week following a semi-unconvincing reveal, and the impressions after people have gone hands on with 11 games are super positive.
The one that always pulls the most weight is Digital Foundry, who came away impressed saying that “It’s very similar to the upgrade that you get from slotting in a PC graphics card that’s a tier or two higher or a generation or two newer.” particularly in performance mode in which you can expect to get much higher framerates without losing that visual fidelity. They even went as far as saying that quite a few games look better in their performance mode than the game running in fidelity mode on a base PS5.
They called F1 24 the most impressive demo that they said offering a big boost in fidelity and pushing out RT effects and looking next-gen, but also called out the likes of Final Fantasy Rebirth, Hogwarts Legacy as Demon’s Souls as big improvements.
Shinobi on Twitter has done a fantastic job summarising a lot the enhancements, so I highly recommend reading that as long as watching the full Digital Foundry video below as well.
Here are a few that stood out to me:
The PS5 Pro will release on November 7th. It’s currently available for pre-order on Amazon HERE or at other retailers HERE.
