Our approach for the Pro
We shipped Alan Wake 2 on October 27th 2023. The PlayStation 5 and Series X versions offer players the choice between a Quality mode at 30fps and a Performance mode targeting 60fps. We wanted to retain and improve these modes when considering upgrading Alan Wake 2 for the Pro.
When considering potential options to improve the image quality, increasing the rendering resolution is among the easiest routes to go if you have enough GPU power.
We did multiple experiments, including upgrading the 60fps Performance mode output from 1440p to 4k and adding PSSR (Sony’s AI-based upscaling method), which positively impacted image crispness and stability under motion.
Increasing the internal rendering resolution consumes a lot of processing power, no matter how powerful your hardware is. However, in our experiments, even putting all the added power to increased rendering resolution provided a barely noticeable difference in the output image or its quality. Adding more pixels to gain visual quality is not straightforward with the new AI-based upscaling methods.
Alan Wake 2 | PS5 Pro Details
Quality Mode
▪️30FPS with ray tracing (not available on base PS5)
▪️Ray traced reflections (opaque and transparent)
▪️Utilizes PSSR to upscale image to output 4K
▪️Also includes improvements to image stability, fog, volumetric lighting and shadow accuracy
Performance Mode
▪️Runs at 60FPS
▪️Also includes improvements to image stability, fog, volumetric lighting and shadow accuracy
▪️Uses approximately the same render (image quality) settings as the base PS5 Quality Mode, output from 1440p with PSSR upscaled to 4K

My problem is the focus on resolution when u can do so much more with the extra gpu
LMFAO HE SOLD HIS OWN PS5 TO HIS “GIRLFRIEND” FOR $500 JUST TO GET THE PRO AND THEN COMPLAINS ABOHT SCALPERS 😂😂😂
BRUH YOU ARE DAMN NEAR 40 AND CAN’T JUSTIFY A CONSOLE EXPENSE AT THAT AGE. HOW ABOUT YOU JUST DON’T BUY IT AT THAT POINT YOU DUNCE!!
BIG problem i saw, they showed old games running @ 60 fps.. and a bunch of TEXT.
Did they show us how the new ENHANCEMENTS… LOOK for Allen wake 2 or Warhammer SM2? Why didn't they show us how NEW performance mode looks on PS5 pro WARHAMMER 2 or Allen wake 2? I believe because if they showed allen wake 2 performance mode.. THEERE would be problems, either the GRAPHICS being fidelity would be a LIE.. or the 60 fps WOULD be a LIE on those settings, HIGH/VERY high, it would be LAGGING cuz of CPU @ very high or HIGH.. FOR SURE. EVEN ps5 pro will LAG on these games with INTENSE action, AW2, WHSM2, First Descendant ( UE5 games), XSX no problem these 3 games and UE5 in general USUALLY….. usually PS5 and pro will LAG on UE5 intense games.. ESPECIALLY if they are going to do what they say, fidelity mode completely.. AND with same CPU as ps5 basically, it will have same HITCHES.. if they LOWERED the graphics to HIGH with that upgraded 50-60% gpu, THEN on more moderate settings it could counter the 8 core CPU for now… but on the settings mentioned.. NO.. it should still LAG from 60 fps.. to 45 FPS.. or LOWER.. my opinion in fact.
PC enough said
I like what you’ve done with the place
Another whiny gamer
There are going to be some people who just want the graphics cranked as high as possible and fine with 30 fps. I am not in that camp. I prefer to turn it too fidelity mode just to see what it looks like then, then I turn it back to performance. But this is NOT a problem with Ps5 Pro.
Wasnt the point in the standard ps5 to eliminate 30fps?
Girlfriend😂
Just make the old PS5 a shared spare.. surely you aint all that hard up
8:35 ffs I wish ya’ll would take some classes or sign up for Plurasight BEFORE voicing opinions!
Dude is absolutely giddy about ripping off his gf. lol
Oh, no, 30frams on the ps5 pro time to freak the fuck out dam you sony
The PSSR is now referred as the "Peepee" 😂😂😂
PS5 people need to realize that even when you are runing with a RTX4090 you still sometimes have to choose between FPS and graphics. Allan Wake 2 is one of those games.
I have a PS5 with a built in disc drive.
I bought about 30 disc based games including Stellar Blade & Silent Hill 2.
In Canada the Pro is over 900$ & another almost 100$ for the disc drive. This is a pure cash grab from desperate Sony.
God help us with the ps6, I think it will be 1200$ or 1000$ US.
This is an outright lie!
Remastering old games to run at higher FPS on shiny new consoles. Sony knows how stupid some of its fans are. Where are the new new games? F**cking guy!!
The results in Alan Wake 2 are completely reasonable. They once again equal or exceed the image quality of the 30 fps graphics mode at 60 FPS, which is essentially what Mark Cerny said to expect.
Ray tracing is incredibly taxing if you push it far enough. The RTX 4090 or 5090 in the future for that matter would eventually crumble if you pushed things far enough and did a modern day equivalent of what Crytek did with Crysis in 2007. In fact, even with the 4090, a $1600 MSRP GPU, Alan Wake 2 hits about 45 fps at 4K with full ray tracing, and people here are expecting better than that from a $700 console. Absurd. There is no video card on the market that can do infinite ray tracing. If you're enraged about these results, it's problem with lack of basic technical knowledge, not the Pro hardware.
No way your ripping your gf off and admitting to it like it's nothing. I'd just give it to her.
I brought my original ps5 from guy off facebook 700 dollars?
Mark cernys words was eliminating that decision OR at least narrowing that divide is their goal or whatever
When will youtubers get the Pro to review? 🤔🤔🤔
You peoples complaining a lot damn.
performance mode @60fps is bullshit to me..
I think people didn’t see when Nvidia said “Moore’s Law is Dead.”
I think they refuse to give us 60 FPS because we keep asking for it… I don't agree with this method but it feels like it.
