The “PS5 Pro Enhanced” label can be found on physical and digital PS5 games to indicate that they feature optimisations to take advantage of the PS5 Pro console. The Enhanced features can include higher frame rates, sharper 4K resolution (using PSSR), and advanced ray tracing.
Essentially, it’s a visual and performance upgrade for specific games when played on the PS5 Pro.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
- Higher Frame Rates: PS5 Pro-enhanced games can potentially run at higher frame rates, like 60 or 120 FPS (depending on the game and your TV), resulting in smoother and more responsive gameplay.
- AI-Enhanced 4K Resolution (PSSR): PSSR, or PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, is an AI-driven upscaling technology that can create a 4K image from a lower resolution, often while maintaining a high frame rate. This can lead to sharper visuals on 4K TVs.
- Advanced Ray Tracing: Ray tracing allows for more realistic reflections, shadows, and global illumination in games, creating a more visually impressive experience.
- Optimised Performance: The PS5 Pro’s enhanced hardware, including a more powerful GPU, allows developers to fine-tune games for better performance and visual fidelity.
The PlayStation Store has a handy section on all the PS5 Pro Enhanced games.
