Sony
has
lifted
the
lid
on
its
mid-gen
console
refresh.
The
PS5
Pro
will
launch
this
November
and
will
have
massively
beefed
up
internals
–
at
a
massively
beefed
up
price
to
match.
One
of
the
promises
of
the
machine
are
“PS5
Pro
Enhanced”
games,
with
a
handful
having
already
been
announced.
However,
it
seems
like
many
more
titles
will
have
full
PS5
Pro
updates
by
the
machine’s
launch.

That’s
according
to
CNET
who
were
given
a
chance
to
go
hands-on
with
the
PS5
Pro
prior
to
its
announcement.

CNET
said
“The
planned
40
to
50
games
that
get
PS5
Pro
upgrades
at
the
hardware’s
Nov.
7
launch
will
focus
on
4K
and
60fps
upgrades
across
the
board,
but
also
have
a
laundry
list
of
other
graphics
boosts
including
new
volumetric
lighting
and
effects,
richer
graphics,
more
on-screen
background
characters,
and
modes
that
can
ramp
up
to
120fps
or
8K
gaming.”

CNET
got
to
see
some
of
this
for
themselves.
Author
Scot
Stein
went
hands-on
with
quite
a
few
titles,
but
Gran
Turismo
7
was
the
highlight,
boasting
a
brand
new
8K
mode,
as
well
as
a
4K
ray-tracing
mode.

The
article
also
mentions
what
I
speculated
about
when
the
console
was
announced,
that
the
PSSR
(PlayStation
Spectral
Super
Resolution)
upscaling
will
work
across
the
entirety
of
the
PlayStation
catalogue,
meaning
older
titles
can
get
a
nice
visual
boost.
However,
CNET
says
that
this
won’t
work
straight
out
of
the
box
–
instead,
it
“requires
games
to
update
via
a
patch”
in
order
to
enable
PSSR.

Hopefully,
this
will
be
a
very
easy
thing
for
developers
to
do.
If
we’re
lucky,
it
will
be
a
simple
option
they
can
enable,
thus
encouraging
them
all
to
go
back
and
turn
it
on.
At
worst,
it
could
be
a
more
cumbersome
operation,
meaning
not
all
developers
will
want
to
do
it.
