PS5 Pro Packaging Has Interesting Spin on Console’s Lack of a Disc Drive
The PlayStation 5 Pro’s packaging reveals Sony has taken an unusual way to frame the console’s lack of a physical disc drive.
In a new post on ResetEra, user modiz highlights an important feature of the PlayStation 5 Pro. The user posted an image of the video output settings screen of the PlayStation 5 Pro, which has an option to enhance the image quality of PlayStation 4 games. While the PlayStation 5 Pro is due to release on November 7th, the user got the image from someone who got their hands on the console early. Additionally, it is also noted that players should turn this feature off if they experience unexpected behavior during gameplay.
PS5 Pro Enhances PS4 Games
While the feature sounds quite enticing, it should be noted that it is only available for certain PlayStation 4 games. However, there is no information available right now on which games will support this feature. Fans have already started speculating about what games could support it, with Bloodborne, to no surprise, being one of the most popular choices. However, fans must have realistic expectations of the feature. As the post notes, it won’t add a 60 FPS mode for Bloodborne, since that would require a new version of the game. However, what is possible is that it could significantly upscale the visuals.
That’s not the only additional feature that the PlayStation 5 Pro will add. Recently, it was also revealed that the PlayStation 5 will have an accessible CMOS battery slot. This would make it significantly easier for players to access the CMOS battery, which could contribute towards the long-term maintenance of the console. With the release of the console just a few days away, fans will be getting more insights on the PlayStation 5 Pro very soon.
