First-Party PS4 Games Receiving Mysterious Updates Before PS5 Launch

Sony begins to patch numerous first-party PS4 games that have been released for quite some time, likely as a result of the launch of the PS5.

What this could be?

[VenomUK]

Patches for improved frame rates and resolution as well as cards and activities for the PS5 UX would be a great way to showcase the PS Plus Collection which includes many of the best games from this generation.

I got the update on days gone.. I'm looking forward to playing it with 0 loading screen on the ps+ collection.

[SullysCigar]

If they just unlock the resolution and framerate the PS5 should do the rest, from what I gather?

Either way, Sony's first party games are some of the finest there have ever been, so any improvement will be awesome. There's a few in the PS5 instant game collection that everyone raved about and I never reached in my backlog, so I can't wait to dive in!

@bouzebbal I must say the loading on days gone is quite fast, the fasttravel atleast... not when starting the game and when loading a cutscene... looking forward to improving that. Even though I will probably finish the game this weekend

Amazing game.. Huge surprise to me and I elected nothing.. In fact I bought it only this year.
I was talking about the initial loading.. Would be so good to be able to skip it. Enjoy!!

days gone one o my top 5 games this gen. they tried to attack it but pick the game up an spend a hour and you see how good it is

I played the hell out of Days Gone. Did every possible thing you could do in the game. Loved every minute. Looking forward to a sequel.

[leahcim]

thank god I did not play Days Gone yet. Waiting for my ps5 version!

[pocolocoX]

Have to keep the interest going.

These patches are being released on PS4 why are people assuming these will unlock features on PS5? I would expect those to be released specifically on the PS5 itself to be of any functionality on that system??? Am i tripping here or something. lolz

[boing1]

Aren't they patching the games from PS Plus Collection? PS5 preperations I would assume.

[Bennibop]

Astrobot is not in the collection and has been patched.

[boing1]

PSVR hardware also did get a fw upgrade.

[NEXUS-6]

Probably to take advantage of some of the UI features announced today.

[Hedstrom]

Hopefully its a patch to unlock framerate at 4k som we can get the games at 60 fps.

[Bennibop]

Was bloodborne patched?

[Vanfernal]

Unlocking the framerate in Bloodborne would be enough to make me happy. XD

[Double_O_Revan]

Sadly, the games animations are dependent on and directly tied to the framerate. It's why it never got a PS4 Pro upgrade. This was posted with better detail then I can give a good while back. So unless they make some big changes to the core programming, it'll still be locked at 30fps.

They have to, it would be non sense to simply not patch it.

[spirited]

I hope unlock framerate is 1 of the features

[crazyCoconuts]

Anyone see a patch come in for TLOU2? I just got that on the prime day sale, and hoping that will be improved somehow on PS5

[nickanasty206]

Maybe an update for the games to support backwards compatibility, game saves and possibly the dual sense?

[LuckyDuck12]

If these updates do in fact include code meant to run on the PS5, I wonder if these patches have any affect on PS4. 🤔

[mkis007]

I'd put money down that the next ui demo will show off enhanced bc of these games. Sucker punch already confirmed their enhanced patch to allow 60fps in ghost.

Reminds me of way back when Kojima seemingly confirmed ps5 enhancements for Death Stranding.

[TitaniumExposed_VIP]

Wait what? These patches are being released on PS4 why are people assuming these will unlock features on PS5? I would expect those to be released specifically on the PS5 itself to be of any functionality on that system???
