PS5 vs PS5 Pro: how does the standard PlayStation 5 compare?


If you can't decide between the PS5 and PS5 Pro, we're here to highlight the differences

The ideal scenario is that a game will utilize the PS5 Pro’s PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling technology, maintain a 60fps frame rate and include ray tracing effects. It means that a PS5 game that runs at 30fps can still be classed as PS5 Pro Enhanced if it increases its previous maximum resolution or adds in ray tracing effects that weren’t possible on the original PlayStation 5 console. It sounds similar to the PS4 Pro’s boost mode, which helps certain games run at higher variable resolutions and more stable frame rates even if they don’t receive a dedicated patch.
