Early tests of the PS5 Pro reveal several improvements for older PS4 games:
1. Enhanced Image Quality:
- A new PS4 image enhancement option in the console's settings menu slightly improves the visuals of PS4 games.
- Games like Bloodborne, Gravity Rush 2, and Lego Dimensions show noticeable enhancements when this option is enabled.
2. Increased Sharpness:
- PS4 games appear crisper on the PS5 Pro, with more defined details visible in supported titles.
3. Performance Boost:
- While not explicitly stated for all PS4 games, the PS5 Pro's more powerful hardware can potentially provide smoother performance for backwards compatible titles.
4. Compatibility:
- The PS5 Pro maintains full backwards compatibility with PS4 games, ensuring that your old library remains playable.
5. Subtle Improvements:
- The enhancements for PS4 games are generally subtle rather than dramatic, with the most noticeable differences visible when sitting closer to the display (within 8-10 feet for a 65-inch TV).
It's important to note that the most significant improvements are seen in games specifically patched or enhanced for the PS5 Pro. While PS4 games do see some benefits, the enhancements are not as substantial as those for native PS5 titles or games with dedicated PS5 Pro patches.
For players who value visual fidelity and performance in their gaming experience, these improvements to PS4 games on the PS5 Pro may be appealing, especially when combined with the more significant enhancements available for PS5 titles.
