More details about the still unannounced are making their way onto the internet PlayStation 5 Pro. Sony has prepared conditions for developers that games must meet in order to be marked as enhanced for PS5 Pro. It was the same on PS4 Pro. Insider Gaming informs about them.
Sony will want developers to have games special graphics mode using resolution scaling to 4K using PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR for short). Furthermore, it must reach a consistent 60 frames per second and have added or improved ray tracing effects.
This will be possible thanks to faster RAM and a more powerful graphics chip. The PlayStation 5 Pro is said to be 45% more powerful than the standard PS5 and can deliver twice the rendering speed of the standard PS5.
Experts are not so convinced of the big differences and point in particular to the same processor. According to them, this will hinder the overall capabilities of the console. Some developers don't see enough reason in the PS5 Pro, saying they haven't been able to fully utilize the capabilities of the current console yet.
If Sony had stuck to the upper standard, the improvement in games would have been clearly noticeable. A sticker PS5 Pro Enhanced but titles that meet some of the following improvements will also be able to be flagged. They are not so strict anymore:
- Higher target resolution in games that run at fixed resolution on a standard console.
- Increased target resolution in games that run at variable resolution on a standard console.
- Increased target frame rate in games that use a fixed frame rate on a standard console.
If all of this is true, getting the PS5 Pro Enhanced designation won't be such a problem for developers. On the other hand, the differences in games will not be so visible. Anyway, the PlayStation 5 Pro is expected later this year.
