Returnal's PS5 Pro upgrade delivers a huge resolution boost and improved performance


One of the best PS5 exclusives looks and plays better on PS5 Pro. Digital Foundry reports.

While the game is brilliantly executed in its core technology - with particles often filling the screen to dazzling effect - this unusual setup does cause some visual noise on the standard PS5. Admittedly, the rapid pace of Returnal's action means that a resolution boost won't always scream at you, but, supposing you want to take in the sights at your leisure, this a clear upgrade. Like-for-like performance testing in a roguelike is challenging, but where we can compare, PS5 Pro irons out all of the frame-rate drops we could find on the original PS5 version, while delivering higher overall resolution.
