The Horizon games on PS5 Pro feature some of the best upscaling technology we've seen


Guerrilla Games' custom upscaling technology is one of the most impressive Digital Foundry has seen running on consoles.

Since a patch in summer 2022, performance mode on base PS5 has run at a circa 1800p checkerboard with dynamic resolution scaling, trading a bit of image quality and stability for a 60fps update rate that makes the game much smoother to play. You can also unlock the frame-rate in the performance pro mode by turning on 120Hz VRR support in the PS5 menus, which sees the game run into the 70s at points but also drop below 60fps on occasion. Based on side-by-side comparisons, it has managed to deliver something extremely similar to DLSS on PC, though the chances are that machine learning is not involved (such a solution already exists - PSSR - and we have doubts that Guerrilla would have trained its own neural network).
