Digital Foundry tests PSSR 2 on Alan Wake 2 and it's a dramatic improvement. "No image quality complaints from me whatsoever. And it shows that performance modes on PS5 Pro can easily exceed the IQ in the quality modes on the PS5." "Like FSR2 vs DLSS, it's a huge upgrade"

The Last of Us Part 1 and Part 2 on PS5 Pro, reviewed today by Oliver Mackenzie. PS5 Pro vs PS5 - the PSSR difference and unlocked frame-rate performance, while TLOUp1's PSSR implementation is compared against PC's DLSS and FSR 2.

Yin and Yang of game optimisation. Battlefield 6 open beta runs up to 55% better fps on PS5 Pro vs PS5 in performance mode, while also having "substantially better" image quality using PSSR and higher average resolution too. Meanwhile, Metal Gear Solid Delta runs fairly poor on both consoles. But while PS5 Pro's performance mode runs at PS5 quality settings, plus better GI too, embarrassingly it has worse overall framerate performance and worse image quality (though IQ is better in motion). Konami didn't even send Digital Foundry Series X/S codes, so that could be a doozy too lol. Either way, it's another Unreal Engine 5 game that isn't up to snuff, while BF6 appears to utilise the PS5 Pro well. #PS5 #PS5Pro #Battlefield6 #MetalGearSolidΔ

Digital Foundry analyses Crimson Desert on PS5 Pro and concludes it's "fantastic on PS5 Pro. They actually did it". Also "one of the most impressive open world experiences" John's had. Has RT in all modes and perfomance is mostly stable even at 60fps, save for some egregious extremes where it can drop to the 30's, though 40fps and 30fps modes stay near locked. Will have PSSR 2.0 at launch, which DF couldn't test with this version of the game, so will improve further. #CrimsonDesert #PS5Pro

Crimson Desert | Digital Foundry PS5 Pro Breakdown Full Breakdown: - Dynamic RT global illumination and reflections in all modes - Performance mode 'by and large' maintained the 60 FPS target - Can run above 60 FPS with a VRR display - Specific areas like 'Bug Hill', especially those with large crowds, saw occasional FPS dips - PSSR upscaling is used in all modes - DF was using a build with the old version of PSSR, launch build should look better

Assassin's Creed Shadows | PS5 Pro Quality vs Balanced vs Performance Mode Overall, I was really impressed with the Pro version. Lighting looks stunning with ray tracing in all modes. Performance is the way to go imo, although Balanced is also a good option for base PS5!
