Almost four years after the original PS5 was released, the higher-end PlayStation 5 Pro is here with a mid-generation upgrade. Available now from $700, the PS5 Pro features a 2TB SSD, a 45% more powerful GPU with 2-3x faster ray tracing and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) - which doesn’t support PS VR2 at launch but will in a future update - which is a neural upscaling technology similar to NVIDIA’s DLSS.
This should allow developers to run PS VR2 games at a higher framerate or refresh rate. Sony only confirmed two PS VR2 games would have a PS5 Pro patch at launch, and more are continuing to emerge. We’ve also highlighted any upcoming games with confirmed PS5 Pro support. However, we’ve excluded games without dedicated enhancements that still have minor performance improvements.
Two additional games with PS VR2 support - Resident Evil 4 Remake and Resident Evil Village - have PS5 Pro patches, though it’s currently unclear if these performance benefits are only for the flatscreen editions or if they extend to PlayStation VR2 as well. We’ve contacted Capcom for clarification but until we know more, we’ve left them off the list. For now, here’s a list of PlayStation VR2 games with PS5 Pro enhancements that we’re currently aware of.
