**Vancouver, Canada – September 15, 2024** – Digital Foundry has released an early analysis of the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro, revealing key insights into the console’s performance and visual improvements. While the console boasts enhanced hardware, the analysis suggests that the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaler will be the most impactful feature for gamers.
According to the analysis, first-party titles like *The Last of Us Part 2* and *Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart* benefit significantly from PSSR, delivering enhanced image quality and more stable frame rates. Other first-party games, like *Horizon Forbidden West*, display higher detail, though the analysis didn’t confirm a native 4K resolution.
Third-party games, however, may not see as drastic improvements. While titles like *Hogwarts Legacy* and *Dragon’s Dogma 2* are expected to offer significant performance gains, games like *Alan Wake 2* and *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* may only see modest improvements due to their lower base resolutions.
Digital Foundry’s early analysis indicates that PSSR will be a crucial feature for the PS5 Pro, allowing developers to achieve higher resolutions and improve overall image quality for many games, even without specific patches. While the console’s additional horsepower is important, it seems PSSR will play the most significant role in delivering a visually enhanced gaming experience.
