The PS5 Pro demonstrates a notable impact on unpatched games, particularly through its Game Boost feature and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology. This effect extends to both PS5 and PS4 titles:
1. Game Boost: This feature is set to support over 8,500 titles by increasing resolution and image quality natively, without requiring game-specific patches.
2. PSSR Technology:
- For PS5 games: PSSR enhances image quality, particularly in titles running at lower than 4K resolution, by improving anti-aliasing and upscaling.
- For PS4 games: Even without patches, games like Bloodborne show subtle improvements in sharpness and definition when played on the PS5 Pro.
3. Performance Improvements:
- Many games benefit from higher frame rates and improved stability, especially those with uncapped frame rates or variable refresh rate support.
- Some titles, like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, can now run at 60 fps in 4K quality mode on the PS5 Pro.
4. Backward Compatibility: The PS5 Pro's enhanced capabilities extend to older games, potentially improving visual quality across multiple PlayStation generations.
While the improvements for unpatched games are generally subtle, they demonstrate the PS5 Pro's ability to enhance gaming experiences across a wide range of titles, even without specific optimizations from developers. This feature set positions the PS5 Pro as a significant step forward in console gaming, offering benefits to both new and existing games in the PlayStation library.
