Step into a new era of gaming excellence with the PS5 Pro, where over 100 first- and third-party titles have been supercharged to deliver breathtaking visuals, silky-smooth frame rates, and enhanced ray tracing. From blockbuster exclusives like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Horizon Forbidden West to fan-favorite third-party hits such as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and F1 24, discover the definitive list of games that unlock the full power of Sony’s most potent console yet-each upgraded to elevate your gaming experience to stunning new heights.
Our PS5 Pro review goes into more detail whether it’s worth your while, but in brief, what enhancements do you exactly get with a PS5 Pro. As with the PlayStation 4 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 a “Game Boost” mode, even without a bespoke PS5 Pro version.
This guide explains all confirmed PS5 Pro games so far from both first and third parties, and any specific upgrades we know about.
Update (Nov. 4): Added 30 new games as we enter the PS5 Pro launch week, including several live service games (such as Fortnite and Warframe), a couple new first-party titles (God of War Ragnarök and Until Dawn), and some of the biggest games of the past year or two (the likes of Baldur’s Gate 3, Madden NFL 25, and EA Sports FC 25).
What PS5 Pro game enhancements can we expect?
The PS5 Pro brings significant game enhancements that leverage its upgraded hardware, including a more powerful GPU with 67% more compute units and faster memory, advanced ray tracing, and AI-driven upscaling technology called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). These improvements enable games to deliver higher resolutions, smoother frame rates (up to 120fps), and enhanced graphical fidelity simultaneously, eliminating the usual trade-off between performance and visual quality. Many titles feature new modes that combine 4K resolution with stable 60fps gameplay, improved ray tracing effects, and richer detail, resulting in a more immersive and visually stunning experience. Popular games like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Horizon Forbidden West, and Resident Evil Village showcase these enhancements with smoother gameplay, sharper images, and more realistic lighting and reflections on the PS5 Pro.
Unlike the PS4 Pro, which was catering to the then-burgeoning 4K television market, the PS5 has no specific selling point to hang its hat on. (8K is too far out for mass market appeal; one for the PS6 Pro, perhaps?)
Instead, it’s pitching three (or as Mark Cerny, the lead architect of the PS5 calls them, the “big three”); a larger GPU (graphics processing unit), improved ray tracing, and AI-driven upscaling – with the broad aim to combine the higher framerates of a performance mode without sacrificing the visual quality a fidelity mode would provide.
Thanks to a Digital Foundry pre-release specs deep dive, we have a good idea of what this all means in practice. For example, don’t expect every game to now offer 60 frames per second with the PS5 Pro’s specs, as the CPU / processing speed upgrade is at a rather modest 10% (compared to the PS4 Pro’s 33% increase over the base PS4), suggesting we can expect additional stability than significantly higher frame rates.
However, the graphics boost appears 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 twice to three times as fast as a standard PS5. Meanwhile, the bespoke upscaler (named PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) that uses AI machine learning can help reach higher resolutions. Finally, though a 1.2 GB increase in memory is also coming, it sounds like that’ll be eaten up by the aforementioned ray tracing and upscaler tech.

Ultimately, how developers will exactly make use of the upgraded tech will vary from game-to-game. So with all this in mind – which games will support the PS5 Pro’s new specs, and what do we know of their upgrades ahead of release?

How do PS5 Pro upgrades transform the gameplay experience for top titles
PS5 Pro upgrades transform the gameplay experience for top titles by delivering significantly enhanced graphics, smoother performance, and advanced visual effects. The console’s more powerful GPU, with 67% more compute units and 45% faster rendering, enables games to run at native 4K resolution with higher and more stable frame rates, often reaching 60 FPS or beyond, even in demanding titles.
Advanced ray tracing capabilities on the PS5 Pro produce more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections without the performance hits seen on the base PS5, enriching immersion and visual fidelity. Additionally, the AI-driven PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling technology allows games to render at lower resolutions and upscale to crisp 4K, maintaining detail while boosting performance.
Developers leverage these enhancements to offer new visual modes that blend high frame rates with improved graphical quality, creating a best-of-both-worlds experience. For example, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s Enhanced Mode runs at 60 FPS with graphics on par with the base PS5’s highest quality mode, providing richer world detail and smoother combat. Overall, PS5 Pro upgrades enable a more fluid, visually stunning, and immersive gameplay experience across a broad range of top titles.
How does the PS5 Pro’s GPU boost improve game responsiveness and visuals
The PS5 Pro’s GPU boost significantly improves game responsiveness and visuals by delivering 45% faster rendering and featuring 67% more compute units compared to the original PS5. This enhanced GPU power allows games to run at higher and more stable frame rates, often maintaining smooth 60 FPS or better even with demanding graphical settings like ray tracing enabled, which reduces input lag and makes gameplay feel more fluid and responsive.
Additionally, the PS5 Pro supports advanced ray tracing with greater efficiency, producing more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections without the usual performance trade-offs. This results in richer, more immersive visual environments that maintain smooth performance.
The console also incorporates faster memory and AI-driven upscaling technology called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), which intelligently renders games at lower resolutions and upscales them to crisp 4K or even 8K. This approach balances high visual fidelity with improved frame rates, further enhancing responsiveness and image quality.
Together, these GPU enhancements enable developers to offer refined performance and fidelity modes, allowing players to enjoy both stunning graphics and smooth gameplay simultaneously, elevating the overall gaming experience on the PS5 Pro.
