Final Fantasy: every PlayStation 5 game tested on PS5 Pro - with some impressive results


Digital Foundry tests every Final Fantasy PS5 game on PS5 Pro - and through patches and Game Boost, finds some impressive upgrades.

On a 4K set sitting from a normal viewing distance, the old performance mode looked obviously soft and lacking detail, while PS5 Pro is razor sharp, at least by the standards of modern temporal AA techniques. Watch on YouTube Pixel counts show a mild Pro advantage, but that's not particularly relevant: the new console is using Sony's new PSSR upsampling technique to hit a full 4K resolution, while the base machine is using Unreal Engine's TAA with just a naive upscale to 4K. I think the checkerboard technique Team Ninja employed in the launch version of the game has been dropped here, but there still isn't effective TAA and the image looks pretty messy.
