Earlier this month, we revealed the PlayStation 5 Pro console and how dozens of games will take advantage of its powerful hardware capabilities when it launches November 7. Today during State of Play, we added a few games to the growing list of titles that feature PlayStation 5 Pro enhanced features or modes.

As soon as we had access to the new console, we decided to focus our efforts on the following hardware technology pillars:
  • Increased Performance Capabilities
  • State-of-the art PSSR Upscale Image Resolution technology
  • New ray-tracing features
With the increased performance capabilities, we were able to raise the quality of our Performance and Fidelity visual modes without compromising player experience. Players will be able to experience crisper, richer, higher resolution graphics, leveraging PSSR on all visual modes. The additional GPU performance power allowed us to revamp our Fidelity Ray tracing visual mode to present the game in a new light. Players will notice new visual reflections and ray traced shadows in all environments. From the gorgeous indoor reflections around the Hogwarts Castle Great Hall and its classrooms, the detailed shadows around the Hogsmeade shops and the rich water reflections around the Black Lake, to the mysterious shadows around the Forbidden Forest, Hogwarts Legacy continues to show that magic is everywhere.” – Jose Villeta, Director of Software Engineering / WB Games Avalanche Software Capcom “Greetings, Arisen on PlayStation! From all of us at Capcom, we are thrilled to welcome the PS5 Pro. Dragon’s Dogma 2 will benefit from the power of the PS5 Pro, PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and new ray tracing technology, allowing improved framerates. For those new to Dragon’s Dogma 2, prepare for a single player, narrative driven action-RPG that challenges players to choose their own experience – from the appearance of their Arisen, their vocation, their party, how to approach different situations, and more. Set forth on your grand adventure on PS5 Pro, Arisen.” – Joseph Bustos, Social Media & Community Manager, Capcom USA “For Resident Evil Village, we added 120fps gameplay to provide the best possible user experience on PS5 Pro. Thanks to this major performance boost, the unique and memorable cast of characters looks even more realistic, adding greatly to the scare factor, and the action scenes have more punch than ever before. The beautiful and haunting world of Resident Evil Village uses the power of PS5 Pro for ultra-high-resolution technology, painting a vividly realistic picture that allows for the highest sense of immersion. Resident Evil 4 is a survival horror game with a ton of gameplay variety, built around the concept “Survival is just the beginning.” On PS5 Pro, the game runs at a higher framerate, making the dynamic action even more intense. Resident Evil 4 also uses the power of PS5 Pro for ultra-high-resolution technology, painting vividly realistic imagery brimming with detailed environments and more natural and beautiful visual effects than ever before.” – Capcom Electronic Arts “We are excited to see how Dragon Age: The Veilguard will lean into the power that PS5 Pro unlocks for players. Whether you love deep progression, strategic combat, or diving into the lore of Dragon Age, you will immediately notice the improved experience with PS5 Pro. The game’s Fidelity and Performance modes will both see improvements on the hardware, including improved resolution in 30FPS Fidelity and 60FPS Performance modes. Additionally, there will be various improved visual settings across 30FPS Fidelity and 60FPS Performance mode. The team at BioWare is proud of how immersed players will be when they enter the beautiful world of Thedas, with upgraded image quality thanks to Sony’s new AI-based upscalers, PSSR. We’ve enabled Raytraced Ambient Occlusion (RTAO) in the 60FPS Performance mode, which previously was only available on the base PlayStation 5 with 30FPS Fidelity mode.” – Maciej Kurowski, BioWare Studio Technical Director “Our engineers have been thrilled to push the boundaries of what’s possible with the new hardware and partnering with SIE has allowed us to deliver an even more enhanced version of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor for PlayStation 5 Pro. In Quality Mode, we offer our highest-ever console resolution at 2160p. At the same time, Performance Mode continues to deliver a solid 60 fps—but now with higher resolutions and the added visual depth of ray tracing for reflections and ambient occlusion. The new PSSR upscaling ensures a sharper visual experience in both modes. Performance Mode on PS5 Pro is my new favorite way to play Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. I can’t wait for you to play it!” – Bobby Wilkinson, Technical Director at Respawn Entertainment Koei Tecmo Games “We are very happy to bring to you a new way to experience Rise of the Ronin with the PS5 Pro. Not only is there responsive katana action at a high framerate, but you can also walk through beautiful renditions of the streets of Yokohama, Edo, and Kyoto, and meet heroes of the 19th century depicted in greater graphical detail. I hope you will all try and experience this Bakumatsu era world of Japan.” – Fumihiko Yasuda, “Rise of the Ronin” Development Producer Konami Digital Entertainment “In Metal Gear Solid Delta, the innovative PSSR technology allows for the trees and the lush vegetation of the game’s iconic jungle terrain to become more vivid, and enhances the sense of realism of infiltrating through a natural environment. Additionally, we are able to deliver a smoother gameplay experience with better framerates throughout the entire game.” – Yuji Korekado / Creative Producer / Konami Digital Entertainment Play Video Nexon Games “In The First Descendant, we put significant effort into expanding the ray tracing feature by leveraging PS5 Pro’s superior GPU performance and enhanced ray tracing architecture. As a result, we achieved more lifelike and natural lighting and shadow effects compared to the standard PlayStation 5. Additionally, by utilizing PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, we were able to deliver higher resolution and better image quality. We are also currently working on enabling FSR 3.1 Frame Generation to provide improved framerate. We hope that players of The First Descendant will enjoy enhanced gameplay experience with superior image quality and frame rate through PS5 Pro.” – Jun-hwan Kim, Lead Engine Programmer / Magnum Studio, Nexon Games Remedy Games “Our graphics engineers at Remedy have greatly enjoyed improving Alan Wake 2 for PS5 Pro together with the team at Sony Interactive. With a game like Alan Wake 2, where the mood and environmental story-telling are essential, bringing ray tracing to the game as a brand new feature adds another layer of immersion. We have also used the additional power of PS5 Pro to improve the visuals and effects in the 60fps Performance mode, where we have upped the output resolution to 4K, making the experience look even better than before.” – Thomas Puha, Communications Director / Remedy Entertainment Shift Up “With PS5 Pro, players will be able to enjoy Stellar Blade in 4K resolution at 50fps or more, with smoother gameplay, and you’ll notice an improvement in grain and detail in the game in PSSR upscale mode. Plus, the HFR (high framerate) option is supported, allowing you to enjoy a fluid gaming experience at 80 fps (120hz display support required).” – Dongki Lee /Stellar Blade Technical Director, CTO / Shift Up Square Enix “Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is now able to evolve to the next level by utilizing the new architecture and superior hardware power of PS5 Pro. The new Enhanced Mode* developed especially for PS5 Pro combines the characteristics of the existing Performance Mode and Graphics Mode to offer players a new visual experience. Specifically, Enhanced mode runs at a frame rate of 60 FPS and supports PSSR to achieve a resolution on par with that of Graphics Mode (mode names under development and subject to change). These visual enhancements result in even richer rendering for all aspects of the game, including the world, the combat and the cut scenes, taking player immersion even further. We invite you to experience an even more thrilling, even more beautiful Final Fantasy VII Rebirth with PS5 Pro.” – Naoki Hamaguchi, Director / Square Enix Ubisoft “Right from the start of The Crew Motorfest’s development, the teams at Ivory Tower have always been excited to experiment with the features and power offered by the PlayStation 5: the advanced haptic feedback of the DualSense controller, faster loading times, and more. We are always looking for new ways to make driving in our Hawaiian world more impactful, more immersive. The PlayStation 5 already permitted The Crew Motorfest to get to a new level of visual fidelity and immersion, making the controller the perfect link between the player and the terrain. With the power and new features of PS5 Pro, we had the opportunity to push visual settings and details even further: sharper and cleaner image quality thanks to PSSR, with more objects on-screen – decals, vegetation, crowds – all running at 60fps. All combined, we think we’ve found the most intense way to experience the game.” – Didier Blanché, Technical Director / Ubisoft Ivory Tower “Assassin’s Creed Shadows is our upcoming open-world action-adventure RPG taking place in Feudal Japan. We’ve been working diligently to maximize the experience on PS5 Pro. Leveraging the increased ray-tracing capabilities of PS5 Pro, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will exhibit an enhanced ray-traced global illumination technology. Thanks to PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR ) and combined with the more powerful GPU, players will see improved rendering systems and an increase in the photorealism and immersion of the game. As players explore Feudal Japan, they can expect improved environments, ambiance and atmosphere as well as more details, up close and at a distance. With PS5 Pro, players will be able to experience a visually stunning game that fully immerses them in 16th century Japan.” – Pierre Fortin, Technology Director Play Video *Features only available on select PS5 games that have been enhanced for PS5 Pro when compared with PS5. PS5 Pro enhanced features will vary by game. Enhanced features require a compatible display.
