Best PS5 Pro Enhanced Games
With the release of the PS5 Pro, more than 50 games will have enhanced features, improving fidelity and frame rate. If you’re looking to buy a Pro, you’ll want to find games that make full use of the new technology. However, not every developer has released a full breakdown of what enhancements the new console will bring, but here are a handful of some of the most notable.

Alan Wake 2
Alan Wake 2 is a game that features a ton of visual tricks that enhance its spooky and surreal narrative. Remedy’s in-house engine, Northlight, is built heavily around blending live action footage with gameplay. On top of that, the visuals of their games feature a lot of wispy particle effects and torchlight effects.
This is all enhanced on PS5 Pro, with ray tracing enhancing the lighting and particle effects. In addition, the game’s existing Performance Mode will be gaining a 4K resolution option.

Stellar Blade
Stellar Blade was praised earlier this year for its visuals. It’s also one of few games that are purely exclusive to the PS5, so it’s not surprising that it’s getting enhancement to its visuals to show off the PS5 Pro.
One of the big enhancements for Stellar Blade is an increase in frame rate while running the game in 4K. Shift Up is aiming for 50fps “or more” which suggests there is now an uncapped framerate, but it will run consistently in 50fps most of the time. The high framerate option will run at a lower resolution, or will see improvements via upscaling, but will now run at 80fps on devices that support it.

The Last of Us Parts 1 & 2
The Last of Us has always been a visual powerhouse for Sony, with each iteration and remaster pushing visual tech even further. So of course, both The Last of Us Part I and The Last of Us Part II Remastered will see some significant enhancements.
The new PS5 Pro exclusive “enhanced rendering” mode will run in a native 1440p output, but can be upscaled to 4K, while running at 60fps. The original Performance and Fidelity modes will still be available, and these will see minor improvements.

Gran Turismo 7
Racing games are always used to demonstrate advancements in new gaming tech, and Gran Turismo has always been at the forefront of this since the original PlayStation. Naturally, it has some of the more extensive enhanced features for the PS5 Pro.
Much like other games enhanced on the Pro, it will run in a native 4K. It will also make heavy use of ray tracing, where reflections in bodywork will be much more detailed. This includes reflections of other cars as well as your car’s own parts. It will also feature an 8K/60fps mode, although Polyphony Digital has admitted it’s experimental.

Horizon Forbidden West
While the Horizon Zero Dawn remaster was released in time for the PS5 Pro release and therefore features plenty of baked-in enhancements, Horizon Forbidden West will be getting many of these in an update too.
The first thing to note is that the Quality Mode will run in 60fps, giving it parity with the Performance Mode, only now at a higher resolution than before. On top of this, Guerrilla has worked to improve many of the games rendering tools, meaning skin and hair shaders, clouds, shadows, and countless other effects are more impressive.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an obvious choice as it has been shown off extensively in presentations for the system. It’s also another PS5 exclusive that’s best positioned to show off the tech, and also one of the best games of the year.
The main enhanced element for PS5 Pro is significantly improved textures, removing some of the blurriness seen in higher resolutions in the base game. In addition, a new Versatility Mode will combine the previous display options into one, allowing for 4K resolution and 60fps at the same time.
The PS5 Pro will release on November 7, 2024.
