Knowing that PS5 Pro Games Coming to consoles will be the deciding factor in whether the $700 mid-generation refresh is worth buying over the base PS5 when it arrives on November 7.
First, know PS5 Pro It won’t have any exclusive games or accessories, and everything released on the PS5 will work on the PS5 Pro. So what exactly are you getting with the PS5 Pro?
Like the PS4 Pro before it, developers can release upgraded versions of their titles to take advantage of the more powerful hardware. And, if they don’t, all games (including PS4 titles) can take advantage of the “Game Boost” mode, even without a bespoke PS5 Pro version.
This guide explains all the confirmed PS5 Pro games so far, both first and third-party, and any specific upgrades we know about.
What PS5 Pro game upgrades can we expect?
Unlike the PS4 Pro, which catered to the burgeoning 4K television market at the time, the PS5 doesn’t have a specific selling point to hang its hat on. (8K is too far for mass market appeal; for a PS6 Pro, perhaps?)
Instead, it’s pitching three (or as Mark Cerny, the PS5’s chief architect calls them, “the big three”); A larger GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), improved ray tracing, and AI-powered upscaling — with the broader aim of combining the higher framerates of Performance Mode without sacrificing the visual quality that Fidelity Mode will provide.
Thanks for that Digital Foundry pre-release specs deep diveWe have a good idea of what all this means in practice. For example, don’t expect every game to offer 60 frames per second with the PS5 Pro’s specs now, as the CPU/processing speed upgrade is a fairly modest 10% (compared to the PS4 Pro’s 33% increase over the base PS4), suggesting we’re looking at significant We can expect extra stability from higher frame-rates.
However, the graphics boost looks significant on paper, going from 10.23 teraflops to 33.5 (though in real terms, this could be closer to a 45% bump), while ray tracing will be two to three times faster than the standard PS5. Meanwhile, a bespoke upscaler (called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) that uses AI machine learning can help reach higher resolutions. Finally, although a 1.2GB increase in memory is also coming, it looks like it will be eaten up by the aforementioned ray tracing and upscaler tech.
Ultimately, exactly how developers will use the upgraded tech will vary from game-to-game. So with all that in mind — which games will support the PS5 Pro’s new specs, and what do we know about their upgrades ahead of release?
Confirmed PS5 Pro upgraded first-party games
The following games from Sony’s first-party studios will receive PS5 Pro-specific upgrades, and will be available alongside the PS5 Pro at launch unless otherwise noted:

- Horizon Forbidden West (As well as an overall “detail boost,” according to Mark Cerny there are “improvements to lighting and visual effects” and “improvements to hair and skin in cinematics”.
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (higher resolution and detail in the distance including trees and procedural cars)
- Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart (Far details will be more obvious, such as during the opening parade scene)
- The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered (60 frames per second offers more visual detail, including sharp details in the distance)
- Demon spirits (No specific enhancements indicated)

Remember, even if a game isn’t mentioned in one of the above lists, all games are playable on the PS5 Pro, whether they’re currently available or will be available for all existing PS4 and PS5 games via an optional “Game Boost” mode — that means Nor will they take advantage of the hardware in the same way that a bespoke PS5 Pro version of a game would.
