* **Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart**: The PS5 Pro achieves Fidelity-like graphics at a performance-driven frame rate, resulting in significantly sharper and crisper visuals compared to the base PS5’s Performance mode.
Sony has emphasized that many existing PS5 games will receive free updates to take advantage of the PS5 Pro’s enhanced capabilities. The company has highlighted the significant graphical difference between the standard PS5 and the new Pro model, showcasing how the Pro can deliver “almost Fidelity-like graphics at Performance frame rates.”
