Sources familiar with Sony’s plans tell The Verge that Sony is asking developers to create a new PS5 Pro-exclusive graphics mode in games that combines Sony’s new PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling to 4K resolution with a 60fps frame rate and ray-tracing effects. Insider Gaming first reported on some of these Enhanced PS5 Pro game details last month.

While Sony wants this new mode in games, the PS5 Pro “Enhanced” label will still be available for a variety of other scenarios that include 30fps games. Developers have the option of increasing the target resolution for PS5 Pro games that run at a fixed resolution on PS5 or even increasing the target maximum resolution for games that run at a variable resolution on PS5.

That could mean we see PS5 Pro Enhanced games that run at between 1080p and 1440p resolution at 30fps on the base PS5 and run between 1280p and 2160p on the PS5 Pro at the same frame rate. A fixed resolution increase from 1440p to 2160p would also qualify as a PS5 Pro Enhanced game. Developers could also choose to enable ray-tracing effects and get the PS5 Pro Enhanced label without improving resolution or frame rates. If a developer wants to target 60fps instead of 30fps with the same resolution, this may also qualify as a PS5 Pro Enhanced game.

There aren’t many 30 fps-only games on the Base PS5. Does Tom want me to believe the PS5 Pro will have more such games?

I know, I know. He’s just following the script handed to him.

Of course there will be... that was not even out of question lol

For now there are 4 games that ware 30fps one in PS5.
Excluding these there are broken 60fps modes that can be counted as games only playable in 30fps or 40fps (few have that option).

PS5 Pro will probably have it few games in 30fps only and it own share of games not good in 60fps modes.

You guys know that most articles on tech sites are written by AI optimized for clicks these days?

This is why those sites still exist after all the layoffs.

There are hardly any PS5 games that only run at 30 FPS, does he really think his audience are idiots?

When will folks stop reporting BS such as "This is a 4k GPU" "Console X will run games at 60 FPS" and so on and so forth...

There is no set target... each game is a different story.
