The launch of the PS5 Pro is getting closer. These games will receive free upgrades for the launch of the new console.

Update from 6 November

You can read our review of the PS5 Pro in this article:

In addition to the expected first-party games from Sony, the launch line-up also includes some high-calibre titles from third-party publishers - including "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6", "Star Wars: Outlaws" and "Hogwart's Legacy".

The specific improvements to these games are already known

The publishers and development studios of these games have already communicated the advantages of the PS5 Pro version. Below you will find all launch games with already revealed upgrades in alphabetical order. Where video material has already been published, I have embedded the corresponding videos.

"Alan Wake 2"

"Demon's Souls"

The remake of the PS3 classic shines on the PS5 Pro with a Pro Mode. This runs at 60 FPS and also in 4K thanks to PSSR upscaling. Both original modes of the PS5 launch game are still included in the PS5 Pro version. The Cinematic Mode in the original ran at 30 FPS and 4K, while the Performance Mode ran at a lower resolution with 60 FPS. Digital Foundry has already been able to take a look at a demo:

"Dragon Age: The Veilguard"

"Dragon's Dogma 2"

Capcom promises a generally higher frame rate for the PS5 Pro version of "Dragon's Dogma 2" thanks to PSSR upscaling and a better implementation of ray tracing effects. Digital Foundry has seen a demo and is not impressed with the result:

"F1 24"

The racing game shines in the new Quality Mode with ray tracing for reflections, lighting and ambient occlusion during the races. In Performance Mode, 4K is available via PSSR upscaling in 120 frames per second - but without ray tracing. You can get an impression of the upgrades in the hands-on video from Digital Foundry:

"Final Fantasy VII Rebirth"

The second part of the remake trilogy will according to Square Enix receive a new Enhanced Mode. This should combine the advantages of the old Performance Mode with the Graphics Mode. In other words: 60 FPS in 4K with PSSR upscaling.

"Hogwarts Legacy"

The wizard adventure offers three modes: a Fidelity Mode with higher resolution ray tracing in 30 FPS, a Fidelity Mode without ray tracing in 30 FPS and a Performance Mode in 60 FPS. The latter should be reminiscent of the PS5's Fidelity Mode in terms of graphical quality. All modes benefit from a higher resolution thanks to PSSR.

"Horizon Forbidden West"

"Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered"

The recently released remaster of the first "Horizon" game should according to Guerilla Games also score with similar graphical features as "Forbidden West".

"Lies of P"

"Lies of P" director Jiwon Choi promises that the Quality Mode will have a 30 per cent higher frame rate than on the normal PS5. In Performance Mode, there is now a native 4K resolution without upscaling.

"Spider-Man 2"

The development studio Insomniac Games has given the spidery superhero a new Performance Pro Mode. This combines the 4K resolution and ray tracing of the old Fidelity Mode with the 60 FPS of the old Performance Mode.

"Spider-Man Remastered"

See "Spider-Man 2"

"Spider-Man: Miles Morales"

See "Spider-Man 2"

"Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart"

The fourth game from Insomniac also receives the "Spider-Man" upgrade with a Performance Pro Mode.

"Resident Evil 4"

For the survival horror classic Capcom is hinting at a "higher frame rate" with "more detailed environments". Exactly how this will be implemented in which modes is still unknown.

"Resident Evil Village"

The eighth "Resident Evil" instalment will feature a mode that allows the game to run at 120 FPS. Considering that the game is a little older and has also been released on the PS4, this ambitious goal seems realistic.

"Rise of the Ronin"

Team Ninja confirms on X that their open-world samurai game will have "better frame rates" and "improved graphics". Let's hope that the annoying performance problems of the PS5 version can be eradicated.

"Star Wars: Jedi Survivor"

Respawn Entertainment promises higher resolutions and better performance thanks to PSSR. The Quality Mode runs in 4K with 30 FPS. The Performance Mode runs at 60 FPS as usual, but now has ray tracing reflections and ambient occlusion - two features that were previously not available in Quality Mode.

"Stellar Blade"

The crazy action title from Korea is getting a new mode in which you can play the game in 4K with 50 FPS - thanks to PSSR. Also new is a HFR - High Frame Rate mode, which allows the game to run at 80 FPS.

"The Crew Motorfest"

The Hawaiian racing game promises a higher resolution with more details than before on the PS5 Pro thanks to PSSR. The game should run at a stable 60 FPS.

"The First Descendant"

"The Last of Us Part I"

"The Last of Us Part II Remastered"

The remaster of "Part II" receives the same upgrades as the remake of "Part I". Here you can get an impression of the new functions:

These launch games will also receive upgrades

In addition to the games listed above, for which the publishers have already communicated specific improvements, these games will also receive an update for the launch of the PS5 Pro. It is not yet clear which specific improvements they will benefit from.

We test the PS5 Pro

My love of video games was unleashed at the tender age of five by the original Gameboy. Over the years, it's grown in leaps and bounds.
