The PS5 Pro is almost here, and it's bringing a substantial library of enhanced games to take advantage of its improved hardware. With over 80 confirmed enhanced titles, the PS5 Pro launches with double the number of enhanced games compared to the PS4 Pro's debut.
When the PS4 Pro launched in November 2016, it offered just over 40 enhanced games. The PS5 Pro, launching on November 7, 2024, significantly raises the bar with its extensive list of optimized titles.
This large catalog of enhanced games promises a smoother and more visually impressive experience compared to the standard PS5. While PC gaming often boasts superior graphics, consoles often provide a more optimized experience at launch, due to the simplified patching and update process.
While there are no guarantees of improved performance or visuals on the PS5 Pro, the enhanced game list provides a compelling reason for gamers to consider the upgrade. Several of the listed games experienced performance issues on the PS5, raising hopes that the Pro version will offer a more refined experience.
Some of the enhanced games launching alongside the PS5 Pro include:
- Baldur's Gate 3
- Demon's Souls
- Dragon's Dogma 2
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
- Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
It will be particularly interesting to see if the PS5 Pro addresses performance complaints leveled at titles like Dragon's Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. For upcoming games, the "PS5 Pro Enhanced" label refers to enhancements available at the game's launch, rather than the console's.
