Black Myth: Wukong gets a PS5 Pro patch - and the base console code is improved too

Digital Foundry runs the rule over Black Myth: Wukong on PS5 Pro - and the improvements made to the standard PS5 version.

Whichever way you slice it, basing a performance mode on frame generation - which impacts input lag - is not a great fit for a fast action game running at only 60fps - and it's likely not even necessary for 60fps gameplay, as we demonstrated in tests a few months ago. With the PS5 set to automatically enable 120Hz output, the balance mode now aims for a flat 40fps reading, with each frame essentially tripled to evenly fit a 120Hz refresh. There are no wild settings bumps here or attempts at extra ray tracing, but the image quality does look clearly better in typical play, which is something we can't always say for Pro upgrades.
