A few days ago I asked you if we really need the PS5 Pro, a console that will arrive at the end of this year and which will be an intergenerational renewal, that is, an evolution of the PS5, but not a revolution compared to the said console. The most important change this console will bring will be at the GPU level, and we can also expect new technologies that will significantly improve gaming performance, such as intelligent PSSR rescaling.

PS5 Pro will also upgrade existing PS5 games automatically. We can expect higher resolution and fluidity as well as deeper graphical improvements for those games that are specifically optimized. So is the PS5 Pro necessary? Generally speaking yes, as the original model will soon be four years old and its hardware has been showing signs of exhaustion for some time, a reality that is becoming clearer every day and that we have seen in many games.

Not everyone seems to think the same. According to GamesIndustry.biz, some developers believe that this console does not make sense because still They haven’t finished using the PS5’s potential. I understand that some developers may not have been able to fully utilize the power of Sony’s current console yet, but this Doesn’t mean others haven’t.

The list of titles that push the PS5 hardware to the limit is considerable and includes games such as Cyberpunk 2077 in its version 2.1, its expansion Phantom Liberty, Lords of the Fallenwhich actually renders at 720p on this console and Alan Wake 2which is so big on PS5 that they didn’t even dare to introduce minimal ray tracing.

I could name more, but at the end of the day, this is what matters The PS5 has been unable to offer a good level of graphics quality and maintain a stable 60 FPS for quite some time nowso yes, the timing is right for Sony to launch the PS5 Pro. This console won’t perform any miracles as it will end up with the same trimmed Zen 2 CPU and only 8MB of L3 cache and all the limitations of an APU type solution, but it is clear that it will be more powerful than the original and have technologies that will make an interesting difference.

The hardware in the console is important, but so are the games, and in this case I think so Sony should get their act together and improve the PS5 cataloga console that currently has a less interesting catalog of exclusives than the PS4 had back then with the same years of life on the market.
