PS5 Pro Makes Unpatched PS4 Software ‘More Palatable’ on High-Res Displays

Must read

You can see things like text and objects in the distance resolve much sharper with the PS4 Image Enhancement tool enabled, providing a small bump in clarity. This isn’t comparable to native 4K, and it’s applied on top of all the graphical issues in the source material, such as any aliasing or shimmering.

However, it does resolve a cleaner image, albeit with a small performance cost in some instances. This, when paired with the PS5 Pro’s bigger GPU, means there’s very little disadvantage to turning it off – but you can disable it if you want to.

As we move forward, we hope this is something Sony continues to work on for the PS6. With technology like PSSR now under its umbrella, there’s real potential for the platform holder to offer a superb backwards compatibility solution for its next-gen console.

The results it’s delivering here are certainly nice to have, but we reckon there’s much more it could offer in this space with the right amount of investment.
