Major New Game Released Without PS5 Pro Enhancements
In recent months, several notable 2025 game releases have arrived without enhancements for the PS5 Pro console. Among these is the much-anticipated shooter Arc Raiders, which does not offer dedicated support for the upgraded system.
Arc Raiders and the PS5 Pro Debate
The lack of PS5 Pro enhancements in Arc Raiders has raised eyebrows among gamers. Many had hoped that new AAA titles would fully utilize the advancements of the PS5 Pro. However, this has not been the case.
Other Major Releases Without Enhancements
- Borderlands 4: Another high-profile title that launched without PS5 Pro support.
- Dying Light: The Beast: Failed to deliver enhanced features for the upgraded console.
- The Outer Worlds 2, Silent Hill f, Metal Gear Solid Delta: These titles encountered performance issues on the PS5 Pro.
This pattern raises questions about the expectations surrounding Sony’s console. When the PS5 Pro was announced, many believed all major games would be required to support it. However, evidence suggests developers are not mandated to provide such enhancements.
Challenges with Performance Enhancements
One significant issue impacting PS5 Pro performance is the implementation of Sony’s proprietary upscaler, known as PSSR. Many games have struggled to operate effectively with this technology.
Industry experts believe the challenges with PSSR implementation primarily reside with Sony, not the developers themselves. This perception has led to disappointment among the gaming community.
Future Prospects for PS5 Pro Enhancements
Looking ahead to 2026, Sony plans to revise the PSSR technology. This revision raises hopes for improved compatibility and performance for future titles.
As gamers eagerly await these changes, the community remains hopeful that upcoming releases will better support the PS5 Pro, enhancing the gaming experience significantly.
