Top 5: Confirmed PS5 Pro Enhanced Games
With the recent news and subsequent preorders of the PS5 Pro, hardcore gamers are foaming at the mouth. We won’t go into detail about the technical bits of the machine, but let’s just say that PS5 Pro-enhanced games are looking as stunning as ever. Here are a few of the biggest.
Horizon: Forbidden West
Just when you thought Horizon; Forbidden West couldn’t possibly look any better, Guerilla Games goes and opens our eyes to even more beauty in a post-apocalyptic world. Playing as Aloy once more, Forbidden West takes place on the West Coast of the US this time, with all the lush forest, desert, and ocean views you need, making the game as relaxing and entertaining as a lazy afternoon playing mahjong. Tallnecks never looked so good, this side of PSVR2!
Gran Turismo 7
Another entry in the confirmed enhanced games list is Gran Turismo 7. Polyphony Digital has always pushed the envelope when it comes to the legendary racing series. And they pulled no punches with the latest release. With PS5 Pro enhancements, it has been confirmed that we can expect high-level ray tracing for more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections. However, a shock to most is that it is confirmed that the game will be updated to include an 8K mode!
Demon’s Souls will be PS5 Pro Enhanced
Perhaps the lowest-selling game on this list, Demon’s Souls still shifted a respectable 1.4 million copies. However, it’s a game that surprised most people as a candidate for an upgrade. Spawning countless carbon copies and defining a new genre with games like Black Myth Wukong taking inspiration, Demon’s Souls is legendary in its own right. It’s also praised as one of the best-looking games around, but it still outperforms modern releases after four years.
Hogwarts Legacy
One of the most surprising releases of the past couple of years was Hogwarts Legacy. The game sold in the tens of millions and is much better than you would think, being a Harry Potter spinoff. Already finely detailed, PS5 Pro upgrades include full scene raytracing, which includes reflections and shadows, at a steady 60 frames per second. And that includes blasting around on your broom! This is one game that deserves a revisit, whether you have finished it or not.
Finally Fantasy 7 Remake
The most exciting entry in the list, according to most games journalists, is the Final Fantasy 7 remake. The initial release looked amazing in quality mode but suffered severe FPS drops. However, it ran excellently in performance mode but experienced a severe downgrade in graphical fidelity. Well, with PS5 Pro, you can have the best of both worlds. Yes, you get a fast and steady framerate with an even better image quality than the 4K quality mode as before.
Summary
Horizon: Forbidden West is one of the most technically PS5 Pro-enhanced games. Demon’s Souls is also getting some love after 4 years. Final Fantasy 7 Remake developers are aiming to please players with the highest possible quality running at a much faster stable framerate.
