Sony Releases New List of Games Confirmed to Be Getting PS5 Pro Upgrades
Sony gears up for the launch of the PlayStation 5 Pro later this week by unveiling a new list of games set to receive PS5 Pro enhancements.
Larian Studios, the developer behind the multiple-Game of the Year Award-winning Baldur’s Gate 3, has just announced all the improvements made for the game’s PS5 Pro enhanced edition. Changes to the game’s Quality and Performance modes now allow Baldur’s Gate 3 to run more smoothly at higher resolutions. Quality mode now runs at native 4K at 30fps, while Performance mode utilizes the new PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaling technology to improve the resolution from 1440p to 2160p at 60fps. On paper, these settings put the PS5 Pro ahead of the Xbox Series X, which aims for 1440p / 30fps in Quality mode and 1080p / 60fps in Performance mode. Larian has promised crisper visuals and invited players to “tinker away in the settings to find the perfect array of pixels for you.”
Full Details of Baldur’s Gate 3 PS5 Pro Enhancements and Multiplayer Patch
IMPROVEMENTS
- On PS5 Pro, Quality mode now runs at native 4K (2160p) 30fps.
- On PS5 Pro, Performance mode will upscale from 1440p to 2160p 60fps, using PSSR
- Split screen on the PS5 Pro will now offer either 30fps or 60fps depending on whether you’re using Quality or Performance mode.
CRASHES AND BLOCKERS
- Fixed an issue on PS5 preventing you from downloading or subscribing to mods when loading into another player’s multiplayer game with mods enabled.
The upgrade has also tweaked Baldur’s Gate 3’s multiplayer experience. Split screen games will now run at 30fps in Quality mode or 60fps in Performance mode. This is a vast improvement over the standard PS5 version of the game, which was plagued with many framerate and performance issues at launch and often struggled to maintain anything close to 30fps, especially in the game’s densely populated third act. As well as these graphical and performance enhancements, Larian has implemented a minor bug fix to address an issue that prevented players from subscribing to mods when loading into another player’s modded multiplayer game. This change will help fans to fully enjoy the best mods that Baldur’s Gate 3 has to offer.
In addition to these improvements to the PS5’s already impressive catalog of games, the impressive PS5 Pro can also upscale the graphics of many PS4 titles, giving older offerings like Bloodborne a fresh lick of paint. Although some gamers have lamented the PS5 Pro’s lack of a built-in disk drive, this upscaling will allow owners to get the most from PlayStation’s vast offering of elligible games.
