PS5 Pro Enhanced Games: The Definitive List of Upgrades

Sony launched the PS5 Pro in November 2024, refreshing its current console generation with a machine designed to deliver higher-fidelity graphics and smoother frame rates. Every PS5 Pro Enhanced game is identified by a specific label within its title, signaling that it takes advantage of the new PlayStation hardware. So far, dozens of titles have been updated or released to leverage this more-powerful system, with enhanced versions receiving free software patches for existing owners.

While we don't yet know the specifics of how every single Enhanced game will utilize the console's power, Mark Cerny, the lead PS5 architect, has revealed that Sony aims to run games in 4K with significantly higher frame rates than before. To achieve this, the PS5 Pro features an upgraded GPU and AI-driven graphical upscaling through PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). On base PS5 consoles, players often had to compromise between a Fidelity mode for visual quality or a Performance mode for speed; however, the new hardware changes that dynamic entirely.

How the PS5 Pro Transforms Visuals and Performance

The core philosophy behind the PS5 Pro is to deliver almost Fidelity-like graphics at Performance frame rates. In the reveal livestream, Cerny explained: "Game creators are adding PS5 Pro support to new and existing titles and with the big three involved the results can be pretty amazing." He noted that with graphics showing detail levels comparable to Fidelity modes but at double the frame rate, the goal has been achieved for a broad set of titles.

Cerny highlighted specific examples where this power is evident:

  • Marvel's Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart were cited as primary examples where the console nearly doubles the power of the base PS5.
  • The technology allows for ray-traced reflections in gameplay without sacrificing the targeted 60fps experience.

An upgraded version of the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling technology was rolled out in March 2026, further improving visual fidelity and performance for many games. This update ensures that even older Enhanced titles continue to benefit from the latest graphical improvements as they are patched.

Confirmed PS5 Pro Enhanced Games and Their Upgrades

Below is a comprehensive list of confirmed PS5 Pro Enhanced games. Where available, we have included details on their specific upgrades and original quotes from Mark Cerny regarding their enhancements.

Alan Wake 2

  • Quality Mode: Runs at 30fps with ray tracing, featuring ray-traced reflections (opaque and transparent). The output resolution is 4K (3840 x 2160) with a render resolution of 2176 x 1224.
  • Performance Mode: Offers overall image stability, improved fog, volumetric lighting, and shadow accuracy at 60fps. It uses approximately the same render settings as the base PS5 Quality mode but outputs at 4K (3840 x 2160), whereas the base PS5 version outputs 1440p.
  • Render resolution for Performance Mode: 1536 x 864.

Gran Turismo 7

Mark Cerny stated: "The faster hardware in PS5 Pro can make a real difference, allowing Gran Turismo 7 to add ray-traced reflections between the cars in gameplay while continuing to support their targeted 60fps." This update brings dynamic lighting and reflection improvements without dropping below the smooth 60fps target.

Hogwarts Legacy

Regarding this title, Cerny explained: "That boost in ray-tracing is also delivering big wins for Hogwarts Legacy, allowing for not only better reflections and a greater variety of reflective surfaces but also for further realism in the casting of shadows." The Pro version significantly enhances environmental lighting and surface interactions.

Horizon Forbidden West

Cerny noted: "The increase in raw GPU power has been especially effective for Horizon Forbidden West. Apart from the detail boost, that extra graphics power is allowing for improvements to lighting and visual effects, as well as to the hair and the skin in cinematics." The upgrade focuses on character fidelity and environmental realism.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

In a detailed look at this title, Cerny remarked: "We can see that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is noticeably higher-resolution throughout the scene, including the trees and procedural cars." The enhanced resolution provides sharper textures across vast open-world environments.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Cerny compared the consoles directly: "Another way to compare the two consoles is to look at PS5 Pro versus Performance mode on PS5, both of which target 60fps. What we see here is a difference in detail; PS5 Pro is much sharper and crisper than PS5." He specifically pointed out that distant details are much clearer in the parade scene from Ratchet & Clank.

Insomniac Games later provided an in-depth rundown of new modes via the 1.005 update:

  • Performance Pro (Default): Targets a smooth 60 frames per second while retaining image quality through PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution.
  • Fidelity Pro: Targets 30fps but adds additional ray-tracing features for maximum visual fidelity. These settings can be controlled individually to boost frame rates, especially when paired with variable refresh rate (VRR) support on displays.
