Sony’s next-generation gaming console, the PS5 Pro, is already on gamers’ “to buy” list with its performance improvements and new hardware features. But the question is: if you’re an existing PS5 owner, is it really worth upgrading to the PS5 Pro? Thanks to a comprehensive benchmark test by ElAnalistaDeBits, we may have an answer. Performance tests on more than 20 games revealed the pros and cons of the new console. Here are the PS5 and Pro benchmark details…

PS5 vs PS5 Pro comparison results: Is the new version worth buying?

First of all, it’s worth noting that there are noticeable improvements on the PS5 Pro for games that have received special updates. In particular, games like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and Dragon’s Dogma 2 perform significantly better in terms of visual quality and frame rate. The optimizations for these games make full use of the PS5 Pro’s hardware.

Games that didn’t receive updates. The PS5 Pro’s gaming advantages are somewhat limited. Games like Alan Wake 2 and Final Fantasy XVI only saw small performance gains despite the hardware power. Meanwhile, one of the most talked-about features of the PS5 Pro is the AI-powered PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology.

In fact, the main purpose of this technology is to improve visual quality, but tests show that it fails to deliver the expected performance in low-resolution games. In some cases, the use of older PSSR versions could be the reason for these limited results. However, Sony is rumored to further improve this technology with future updates.

In short, the PS5 Pro has taken a significant step forward in improving the visual quality and performance of games. However, these benefits largely depend on whether the games you play are optimized or not. If you spend a lot of time playing games that have received updates, upgrading to the PS5 Pro might make sense. However, if you’re an existing PS5 owner and the majority of your games don’t receive updates, this upgrade may not be immediately necessary.
