Tech experts Digital Foundry have finally gotten hands-on time with the PS5 Pro, and their verdict is overwhelmingly positive – especially if you’re the type of player who appreciates blistering frame rates, high fidelity visuals, and ray tracing. In an exhaustive hour-long analysis, which you can watch in full above, the swots conclude that they’re impressed with what they’ve seen – and that the system is looking like a solid purchase.
“If you value fidelity and you like ray tracing and the higher frame rates of performance modes, PS5 Pro’s a really good investment,” explained Oliver Mackenzie. “There is a conversation to be had between the value of a PS5 Pro and a PC, but for a hassle-free gaming experience delivering high fidelity visuals with no particular issues with updates and incompatibility, PS5 Pro is delivering a really good experience and it’s also fairly favourable in terms of cost.”
A lot of the heavy lifting here appears to be attributed to Sony’s upscaling solution PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (or PSSR), which is able to reconstruct images based on lower resolution sources with very few compromises. There are issues and it’s not perfect, but generally the PS5 Pro is able to significantly boost visual quality with minimal computational overhead, meaning you’re getting nice clean 4K images with other enhancements sprinkled on top.
