Helldivers 2 has received a 'stealth' PS5 Pro upgrade - and here's what it does


No official upgrade has been announced but it is there and the boosts are well worth having.

Watch on YouTube A lot of games this generation render at comparable - or lower - pixel counts, but end up with much better final image quality than this due to the use of reconstruction-based upsampling solutions like TSR or FSR 2. It's a curious situation, given that the Pro's resolution bump should theoretically eat up most if not all of the console's extra GPU capability, and it only has a mild CPU clock increase. It lacks modern upscaling technologies like DLSS and FSR, frame generation, more advanced rendering features like ray tracing, and has some performance issues.
