PS5 Pro specs have been the subject of numerous leaks over recent months, and the last couple of weeks in particular have shed a great deal of light on alleged details on the rumoured mid-gen console refresh. But with supposed enhancements like its proprietary supersampling tech dubbed PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution Upscaling (or PSSR), 45 percent faster rendering, and more, how exactly is Sony hoping developers will take advantage of the console’s more powerful hardware?
Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has published a report that reveals alleged details on the criteria that Sony has set for games to meet in order to be officially given the “PS5 Pro Enhanced” label. As per the report, Sony says it “may” give the PS5 Pro Enhanced label to games if they offer improvements to resolution, frame rate, or ray tracing.
Additionally, the report claims that Sony also wants PS5 Pro Enhanced games to offer a mode that will combine PSSR-upscaled 4K resolution, a “constant” 60 FPS frame rate, and either the addition or the enhancement of ray tracing effects. The company allegedly feels that with the console’s 45 percent boost in rendering speed as compared to the base PS5, such enhancements will be possible in games.
As impressive as the PS5 Pro’s specs may sound in paper, not everyone seems to be onboard with the console yet, with recent reports claiming that several developers in the industry haven’t “understood the point of it.”
Leaks have claimed that the PS5 Pro is targeting a Fall release, which means we should likely be seeing an official announcement in the coming weeks- unless plans change.
