Returnal’s PS5 Pro upgrade delivers a huge resolution boost and improved performance
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
To mark its fourth anniversary, developer Housemarque has announced a free PlayStation 5 Pro upgrade to Returnal, promising to give a superb PS5 game a resolution boost of up to 2.5x on Sony’s Pro hardware. The exact phrasing of “up to 2.5x” does suggest a form of dynamic scaling is in play, which I’ll get to in a minute – but it’s a welcome move that addresses one gripe with base PS5’s image quality. Beyond that, are there any other improvements to the original experience? Are the performance issues addressed and what about the slight traversal stutter issues?
