The PS5 Pro will be released in about a week. The console had a rocky start, with fans everywhere bashing on the steep price tag, claiming it was nowhere near justified. But, as the emotions died down, cooler heads started to realize that Sony’s newest console has a lot to offer. It improves both Performance and Fidelity modes, and some games even have the PS5 Pro Enhanced tag, meaning that they will make full use of everything PS5 Pro has to offer, resulting in 4K60FPS for most titles. Some even claim that the state-of-the-art tech included in PlayStation 5 Pro will be important for the future of PS gaming.
PlayStation 5 Pro’s Tech Allows Devs Teams to Focus Less on Performance and More on Creativity
PlayStation 5 Pro uses the latest gaming technology to deliver the best performance and visuals. A big part of this is PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), an AI-driven upscaling system “that uses a machine learning-based technology to provide super sharp image clarity by adding an extraordinary amount of data”. On that note, Tymon Smektala, the director of the Dying Light franchise, said in an interview with GamingBolt, that they are only starting to discover the full capabilities of PS5 Pro. He said that the boost PS5 Pro has in GPU and performance in general will allow them to focus more on fidelity and visuals.
“Sony’s PSSR is a substantial push for the supersampling tech that other companies are experimenting with. It’s a great initiative as, in the future, this can allow developers to focus slightly less on performance and have bigger creative liberty. If what Sony is proposing will become a new standard, then PSSR could potentially turn out to be even more important than the direct increase in GPU power that the console delivers.” said Smektala.
The PS5 Pro’s modern technology can only serve to help producers and developers in the long run. If they don’t have to focus that much on their games’ performance, they can focus more on the visuals and the story, which will most definitely result in massively better games in the future.
