The PS5 Pro update for No Man’s Sky actually went stealthily live with the Cursed Halloween update, but back then, no one from the public had access to the console yet. That’s changed now, with several teardowns already published. As part of its fresh press release about the new Cross-Save update, the British developer (which had previously praised Sony’s upcoming console) has shared more details about the PS5 Pro patch.
The game will offer a 4K@60FPS mode where the graphics settings have been enhanced compared to the PS5 and even an 8K@30FPS mode. This is largely thanks to the PSSR, which they also praised while labeling the hardware as a whole an ‘incredible feat of engineering.’ Last but not least, the improvements are also coming to the PS VR2 version of No Man’s Sky.
PlayStation 5 Pro releases today and is an incredible feat of engineering. We were so excited to get our hands on it from the early days of development. We couldn’t wait to see what was possible in No Man’s Sky with so much power at our disposal! We’re excited to be able to share an enhanced version of No Man’s Sky for PS5 Pro with players at launch, bringing even more detail and higher image quality than ever possible on console before.
PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) allows for incredible upscaling to provide crisp 4K resolution at 60fps. No Man’s Sky will also be an early supporter of 8K resolution, with the universe looking incredible in 8K at 30fps.
As well as a much sharper resolution at higher frame rates, the increased power of the PlayStation 5 Pro has enabled us to ramp up the graphical quality across the board. Players on PS5 Pro will see improved lighting, with ultra quality reflections and higher quality ambient occlusion in all modes. Not only this, but all of these improvements also come to PSVR2, with our most stunning virtual reality imagery offering an even more immersive experience for Travellers amongst the stars.
The gallery below features four direct-feed screenshots (originally captured at 8K resolution) from the PS5 Pro version of No Man’s Sky.
