Space Marine 2 on PS5 Pro: a much-needed image quality and performance upgrade


Tom Morgan tests Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2's PS5 Pro upgrade. Does the game solve its image quality and performance concerns, and what of PSSR?

Due to the variable nature of combat it's a real challenge to sync up gameplay on each, but the comparison still paints a clear picture overall: Saber Interactive has worked hard since launch to squeeze PS5 for better performance. The greater Pro advantage though is in actual motion: PSSR's handling of dense jungle areas in mission one is truly standout, replacing the often mushy, blurred resolve of FSR2 with a crisper outline to each bit of scenery. In facing a huge swarm of enemies - similar to the rats in A Plague Tale: Requiem- PS5 Pro only ekes out a small performance gain over base PS5.
