The PS5 Pro is highly anticipated by gamers, and it’s time to see what the console offers on several iconic games. Is there a real difference between the old and new versions?
The upcoming release of the PS5 Pro has raised a lot of expectations, especially regarding the visual improvements of the games. With its increased power and PSSR (PlayStation Super Resolution) upscaling technology, Sony promises an even more immersive gaming experience. Here’s a look at the major visual differences between the PS5 and PS5 Pro versions for a few iconic games, based on feedback from Digital Foundry et The Verge.
Horizon Forbidden West, more beautiful than ever on PS5 Pro
Horizon Forbidden West is one of the games that benefits the most from the visual improvements of the PS5 Pro. According to Digital Foundrythe Pro offers a sharper resolution, especially thanks to PSSR upscaling which allows the game to run in 4K with a better level of detail. Textures, such as foliage or armor, are more detailed, and flicker on distant objects is significantly reduced. The Verge adds that the management of shadows and clouds has been significantly improved, making environments more realistic and immersive. This allows for a smoother and visually cleaner experience, even in complex scenes with lots of elements on screen.
Pour Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, The PS5 Pro introduces notable improvements, particularly in “Performance Pro” mode. Digital Foundry explains that this mode provides better stability in visual details and significantly reduces texture flickering effects. Although the internal resolution is slightly lower than that of the mode Loyalty on standard PS5, the Pro compensates with upscaling which improves the overall sharpness of the image. The Verge notes that the details on distant buildings and the textures of Spider-Man’s suits are more defined, even when the player is moving quickly through the city.
Gran Turismo 7, the summum?
Gran Turismo 7 is another game that benefits enormously from the PS5 Pro, notably thanks to improved ray tracing. On PS5 Pro, reflections on cars and glass surfaces are much more realistic and detailed compared to the standard PS5 version. Digital Foundry points out that the PS5 Pro offers several modes, including one that favors ray tracing and another that maximizes fluidity at 120fps in 4K. Improvements in shadow and reflection processing provide a much more realistic appearance, which is especially noticeable when racing in real time under different lighting conditions
F1 24
Finally, F1 24 shows significant visual improvements on PS5 Pro, particularly with the management of ray tracing and lighting effects. According to Digital Foundrythe Pro allows the game to display in 4K at 60fps while maintaining ray tracing reflections, thus providing a more faithful image for television broadcasts. Reflections on cars and track surfaces are much more detailed, adding to the immersion. Additionally, the Pro offers an 8K mode, although the latter is more of a technology demonstration than a truly necessary option for most gamers.
