It seems like we can expect thePS5 Proto have enhancement patches ready to go for a whole bunch of PS5 games at launch.
That’s coming fromCnet’s hands-on PS5 Pro report, which states that, according toSony: “about 40 to 50 games will get patches when the system launches in November.”
We have already seen many of thebest PS5 gamesrunning on PS5 Pro during the console’s Technical Presentation which aired on September 10. The showcase demonstrated greater image clarity in titles likeGran Turismo 7,Ratchet & Clank: Rift ApartandMarvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Improvements in these games include a boost to resolution and performance, as well as greater detail for objects in the far distance. PS5 Pro’s lead system architect, Mark Cerny, stated that one of the goals for the console is to bridge the gap between fidelity and performance modes - offering the best of both worlds. That does seem to be the case with the demonstrations showed.
We don’t currently have the full list of games that’ll receive these enhancement patches. But the officialPS5 Pro landing pagehas revealed a handful of titles includingDemon’s Souls, Gran Turismo 7,Horizon Forbidden West, Until Dawn, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, The Last of Us Part 1andThe Last of Us Part 2.It’s also been confirmed thatupgraded PS5 Pro games will feature a special labelindicating they have a patch ready to go.
It’s also unclear as to how big the file sizes are going to be for these enhancement patches. We’re expecting them to be quite sizeable, but at least the PS5 Pro is well-equipped in this regard with its upgraded 2TB of internal storage out of the box.
The PS5 Pro is launching on November 7 worldwide, andPS5 Pro pre-orderswill be available from September 26 at PlayStation Direct and presumably a handful of big box retailers, too.
