PS5-ProThose who have received support will benefit significantly. Gran Turismo 7, Elden Ring and Black MythWukong These are considered the best current examples of the capabilities of the new hardware.
John Linneman of Digital Foundry, for example berichtetthat yourself Gran Turismo 7 The PS5 Pro reveals a new side of the game. 4K mode now runs at a constant 120 frames per second. Previously, this was at best a pipe dream. "Previously it was in the range of 80-90 FPS in unlimited VR mode. Now it's simply 120 FPS." Linneman explains, impressed. This fluid presentation provides fans of the racing game with significantly more realism – no stuttering, no jerking, just pure speed.
Elden Ring is in top form on the PS5 Pro

In Performance mode, the game now more frequently achieves native 4K resolution and noticeably approaches the 60 FPS mark, which was often difficult to reach on older PS5 models. Tests show that in Quality mode, a consistent 4K resolution is achieved at nearly 60 frames per second – and that's with ray tracing enabled, which provides impressive lighting and shadow effects. These improvements were also noted by Digital Foundry.
