Sony launched the PS5 Pro in November 2024, refreshing its current PS5 console generation with a machine that aims to deliver higher-fidelity graphics and smoother frame rates. Upcoming and existing games that take advantage of this new PlayStation hardware will be identified with a PS5 Pro Enhanced label within their title, and so far, there are dozens of games that have been updated to take advantage of the more-powerful hardware inside of this console.

Enhanced games that are already available will be patched with free software updates. We don’t yet know the specifics of how every Enhanced game will leverage the PS5 Pro’s power, but we’ll update this list as more games are announced and as we get more details on their respective improvements.

In the PS5 Pro reveal livestream, Sony showed just how much of a graphical difference there is in games that have been upgraded for the console, with PS5 lead architect Mark Cerny revealing how Sony aimed to get games running in 4K with higher frame rates. To do just that, the PS5 Pro will have an upgraded GPU and AI-driven graphical upscaling through PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution.

On base PS5 consoles, players have to compromise when it comes to graphics, as they can often choose between a Fidelity mode that improves visual quality and a Performance mode that increases frame rates.

“Game creators are adding PS5 Pro support to new and existing titles and with the big three involved the results can be pretty amazing. With graphics showing something like Fidelity levels of detail but at double the frame rate,” Cerny explained in the PS5 Pro livestream. “This goal of delivering almost Fidelity-like graphics at Performance frame rates has been achieved for a broad set of titles, including Marvel’s Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. We can see that PS5 Pro is close to doubling the power of PS5.”

You can see all the confirmed PS5 Pro Enhanced games below. Where possible, we’ve also included details on their specific upgrades and original quotes from Cerny on their enhancements.

Quality Mode 

• 30fps with ray tracing
• Ray traced reflections (opaque and transparent)
• Output resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K)
• Render resolution of 2176 x 1224 

Performance Mode 

• Overall image stability, fog, volumetric lighting, and shadow accuracy have been improved on the Pro 
• 60fps
• Uses approximately the same render (image quality) settings as the base PS5 Quality Mode
• Render resolution of 1536 x 864
• Output resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K)
• Base PS5 version outputs 1440p

Mark Cerny:

“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.”

Mark Cerny:

“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.”

Mark Cerny:

“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.”

Mark Cerny:

“We can see that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is noticeably higher-resolution throughout the scene, including the trees and procedural cars.”

Mark Cerny:

“It has huge amounts of detail and targets a super-smooth 60fps.”

Mark Cerny: “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. For this, my favorite is the parade scene from Ratchet & Clank. Distant details are much clearer.”

Following Cerny’s initial comments, we got a much more in-depth rundown on what Rift Apart is trying to do. The 1.005 update that is out now introduces several new options, including a 60fps option (Performance Pro) with ray tracing and other high-quality image options.

If you’d like to further emphasize image quality, there’s Fidelity Pro, which targets 30fps but adds additional ray-tracing features. Those can be controlled individually, which can help to boost the frame rate–Insomniac says that, paired with things like variable refresh rate support on your display, you can achieve better performance.

Here’s the full rundown from Insomniac on the new modes and toggles.

THE NEW GRAPHICS MODES

PERFORMANCE PRO (Default for PlayStation 5 Pro)

This mode targets a smooth 60 frames per second while retaining the image quality of the standard Fidelity mode through use of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). All ray-tracing (RT) features are on, including ray-traced reflections, ray-tracing on water, and ray-traced window interiors. This mode is recommended for most players.

FIDELITY PRO

This mode targets 30 frames per second for players who want to experiment with new ray-tracing graphical features. These new features can be tuned individually to reach higher intermediate frame rates, especially when using the “VRR” or “120 Hz Display Mode” options. Pedestrian and traffic density may be increased in some areas, and fine hair detail is increased.

NEW GRAPHICAL TOGGLES

RT Reflections: Medium (Performance) / High (Fidelity default)

Set the quality level for ray-traced reflections. The “Medium” setting ray-traces at half render resolution, and the “High” setting ray-traces at full render resolution. The “High” setting will also improve smoothness of animation in reflections. Only available in the “Fidelity Pro” graphics mode.

RT Ambient Occlusion : Off (Performance) / Medium / High (Fidelity default)

Use ray-tracing to compute additional ambient occlusion lighting information. The “Medium” setting uses that information to augment screen-space ambient occlusion. The “High” setting also adds a screen-space GI bounce for additional ambient lighting information. The visual impact of this feature will vary greatly based on the scene.

The PS5 Pro update for The Callisto Protocol will be free, and players can expect full ray tracing in a variety of new graphical modes. The game will be one of a select few to offer an 8K resolution–at 30fps–in Quality Mode, a 4K 60fps Performance Mode with full ray tracing, and a 4K 40fps with full ray tracing in Balanced Mode.

According to NetEase games, Marvel Rivals will have its own Pro graphics mode on PS5 Pro that targets a stable 60fps at a 4K resolution. The developer says that this mode will also support Lumen Reflections and it’ll aim for higher resolutions in its 120fps High Frame Rate Mode.

Blizzard boss Rod Fergusson confirmed on social media that Diablo IV would receive a PS5 Pro patch to enhance the game.

“I’ve been getting this question quite a bit recently and I’m happy to say that Diablo IV and Vessel of Hatred will indeed be PS5 Pro Enhanced! Very proud of our hardworking team to make this happen. More details at a later date,” he said.
