The PlayStation 5 Pro was unveiled today.

The new console will be much more powerful than its predecessor, but all its capabilities are meaningless without games that will unlock its potential.

Chief engineer of the gaming division of the Japanese corporation Mark Cerny told about the games that will improve specifically for the new device and they will use all its capabilities.

Here's What We Know

By the time the PS5 Pro goes on sale (7 November 2024), about fifty games will receive improved versions. The full list is still unknown, but Sony has published a portion of the games which looks like this:

  • Alan Wake 2
  • Assassin's Creed: Shadows
  • Demon's Souls
  • Dragon's Dogma 2
  • Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
  • Gran Turismo 7
  • Hogwarts Legacy
  • Horizon Forbidden West
  • Marvel's Spider-Man 2
  • Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
  • The Crew Motorfest
  • The First Descendant
  • The Last of Us Part II Remastered

Note that we're not just talking about Sony games, but also third-party projects.

During the broadcast, Mark Cerny talked about the improvements of some games.

Thus,

  • Horizon Forbidden West will run on PS5 Pro in 4K resolution at 60 FPS, the game will improve lighting and visual effects, as well as the display of hair and skin of characters in videos;
  • The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will deliver "super smooth 60 FPS at high resolution";
  • PS5 Pro will double performance in games like The Last of Us and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart;
  • Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will get increased detail at 60 FPS;
  • Gran Turismo 7 will feature ray tracing on all cars during gameplay while maintaining high performance and stable frame rates;
  • Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is another game that will leverage the full capabilities of the PS5 Pro.

Games that won't be manually enhanced by developers can run on PS5 Pro with impressive graphics and improved performance, thanks to Game Boost. The technology extends to more than 8,500 games for PS4 and PS5.

The PS5 Pro console will go on sale on 7 November, priced at $700/€800.
