The upcoming PS5 Pro console is expected to provide significant performance and visual improvements over the base PS5, with the developer of the game Empire of the Ants stating that PS5 Pro games will be able to scale better than PS4 Pro games did compared to the base PS4.
The main advantage of the PS5 Pro is a roughly 50% increase in GPU processing power, which should allow for higher frame rates (potentially doubling frame rates in some cases) or improved visual quality compared to the base PS5. The developer notes that modern games are less reliant on frame rate for their core simulation, so they can better take advantage of the increased GPU power.
When comparing the PS5 Pro to high-end gaming PCs, the developer acknowledges that PCs will still be more powerful overall. However, they state that a maxed-out PC can cost 3-5 times as much as a PS5 Pro and consume significantly more power, while the actual visual and performance improvements may not be as dramatic as the price difference would suggest, due to diminishing returns on the latest high-end PC hardware.
The PS5 Pro appears poised to deliver a substantial leap in performance and visual quality compared to the base PS5, with developers able to better leverage its increased GPU capabilities. While top-end PCs will still outperform it, the PS5 Pro seems positioned to offer a very compelling console gaming experience at a more accessible price point.
PS5 Pro Games to Scale Better Than PS4 Pro's, Says Dev; Maxed PCs Cost 3-5x Times, Can't Be Compared
According to Empire of the Ants dev Tower Five, PS5 Pro games will scale better than PS4 Pro's in comparison to the respective base consoles.
