While Stellar Blade Faces Issues, Another PlayStation Exclusive Looks “Absolutely Stunning” in PS5 Pro

Fans have been waiting for long for the PS5 Pro. The Pro versions of the PlayStation consoles had always come up with a bigger treat than their base variants. However, this was not the case with the recently launched “Pro” console. After being released on November 7, the PS5 Pro has been criticized heavily for its staggering price. 

The pro version of the console comes after a huge price jump of over $250 as compared to the base version. Yes, there are some significant upgrades in terms of ray tracing and many more. But after the poor performance of Stellar Blade, Black Ops 6, and many more, these upgrades now look absolutely meaningless. However, there is a title that is running flawlessly on this recently launched console.

God of War Ragnarök Is Insanely Good on the PS5 Pro

There are several complaints from fans that many popular titles like Silent Hill 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Stellar Blade, and many more are performing horribly on the PS5 Pro.

However, a fan on Reddit has claimed that another popular title, God of War Ragnarök, is running stunningly well on the console. There is a Pro mode, which made the game almost look like native 4K 60 FPS, and it was “hard to tell the difference if there even is one.” 

Oh wow, God of War Ragnarok looks absolutely insane on the Pro!

It essentially looks like the 30 frames per second fidelity mode that the base PS5 had. Additionally, it can be run in HFR at 120 frames per second, which feels great and resembles the quality of the PS5’s performance mode. However, nothing comes close to that 4K 60 pro mode right now; it’s breathtaking.

People are yet to discover the reason behind Stellar Blade‘s horrible performance on the console, even after this title was confirmed to be enhanced on the PS5 Pro. Still, Ragnarök‘s impressive performance is a testament to all the upgrades that have been brought in the newly launched console.

The Upgrades Which Have Brought God of War Ragnarök into Life

At this point, the GPU must be the largest upgrade. The GPU speed of the pro version is now 67% faster than that of the base version. Additionally, Sony increased the memory by 28%. As a result, games will now run 45% faster than on the PS5, include more details, and have better frame rates.

With its refined ray tracing process, the Pro model casts at twice or even three times the speed of the base model. The PS5 Pro will introduce Sony’s PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution technology, which can be viewed as a rival to AMD’s FSR or Nvidia’s DLSS and will be utilized for AI upscaling.

Although the PS5 Pro may be very expensive, there are undoubtedly some improvements. Even PS5 owners who are already using the device must decide whether these updates are worth the additional cost, just for playing God of War Ragnarök at almost native 4k 60FPS as other games’ states are pretty miserable.
