Gamers worldwide have been eagerly awaiting news about the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro, weighing the decision of whether to upgrade their consoles. Now, leaked details about the PS5 Pro hardware are starting to trickle in, promising a slew of quality-of-life enhancements.
According to a recent reports, the PlayStation 5 Pro is set to introduce an ultra-boost mode, ray-tracing effects, and an enhanced label. Sony is reportedly urging developers to craft a new PlayStation 5 Pro exclusive graphics mode for their games, leveraging the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology.
Thanks to the beefed-up hardware, developers will have the option to enhance both upcoming and existing PlayStation games. This means titles can tap into the PS5 Pro’s capabilities, but developers will need to upgrade to Sony’s latest SDK to implement these enhancements.
With PSSR and ray-tracing effects on the table, games could earn the enhanced label without sacrificing resolution or frame rate, although the enhanced versions will still cater to 30FPS titles.
Sony isn’t stopping there. They’re also cooking up an ultra-boost mode for the PS5 Pro, promising smoother performance for older games on the console.
While an official release date for the PlayStation 5 Pro is still under wraps, speculation points to a likely debut in the latter half of 2024. Of course, this timeline is subject to change, pending an official announcement from Sony or PlayStation. For now, gamers can keep their eyes peeled for more updates on this highly anticipated mid-generation console.
