Assassin’s Creed Shadows – PS5 Pro vs PS5 Review – One Of The Best Upgrades For The System



Assassin’s Creed Shadows on the base current-gen consoles is a visual treat (Series S apart) but there’s a clear divide between the quality and performance modes thanks to some truly transformative RT upgrades. PS5 Pro gives you the added horsepower so you don’t need to trade frames for rays – but the revised 30fps quality mode has a little bonus of its own. Oliver Mackenzie reports.

Lip smacking graphical options is what we live for 👌. I'm buying a Pro for GTA 6 and Ghost of Yotei

what happened to the colour grading between PS5 and PS5Pro in performance mode, Pro looks like shot on some shitty HDR smartphone camera, LOL?

The pro is a waste of money!

Why is he acting like the PS5 does not have RTGI? It does in quality mode.
@benstephens187 March 27, 2025 - 8:42 pm
I do feel like it's a bit odd that the resolution is lower on performance mode on the PS5 Pro. I've actually mostly been playing in quality mode but then I'm like wait why am I playing at 30 FPS on a PS5 Pro. I don't know if this game really delivers the upgrade we all hoped for, no doubt the game is absolutely beautiful with RTGI, but it's weird that they haven't utilized PSSR. Hopefully in a future update we get something, either way it looks great and both modes look excellent but I don't think this is truly big advantage for the PS5 Pro.

I was ready to turn quality mode off before starting but maybe I'm crazy I feel like the framerate while not near 60 feels a bit smother than I thought it would be in quality mode. Assuming its the combination of the pro and an oled with VRR or maybe I'm seeing things lol 🤷🏾‍♂️

Performance mode works the best
@MrLloydFletcher March 27, 2025 - 8:42 pm
$700 for this....
@RathalosLARP March 27, 2025 - 8:42 pm
😂 what does it improve?
The horrible enemy AI?
Does it erase Yasuke in general?
Does it change the cringe and bad dialogues or romances?
Im asking for a friend 😂
Found irony can be kept 😂
@MV-eh3xf March 27, 2025 - 8:42 pm
In all seriousness i don't see a difference and on my 4k tv the pro still doesn't justify the price unless you never had a ps5....overall i still think ghost of tsushima looks better in the particle fields even overall still 😂 just me?
@blagd March 27, 2025 - 8:42 pm
Need a PS5 vs Pro vs PC comparison, personally.
@LetsRemax March 27, 2025 - 8:42 pm
Been playing on a Base PS5 with Balanced Mode and 120hz, it's been a joy so far!
@loitersquadX March 27, 2025 - 8:42 pm
The pro is good but its hard to justify the purchase for some reflections? Lights and shadows? I rather have better image quality, smooth gameplay and highter settings
@pawanjotsingh4505 March 27, 2025 - 8:42 pm
So no PC tech review for AC shadows?
@fabianoperes2155 March 27, 2025 - 8:42 pm
This show PS5 PRO os more like a PS5 SEMI PRO machine.
Not worth my money.
The only way to see the differences in quality mode is in a Digital Foundry comparison video like this.
@YourComputerProf March 27, 2025 - 8:42 pm
To summarise: Balanced mode using 120hz is the best and of equal quality way to play in both consoles bar RT Reflections which are not high res enough to matter.
@pa-mn1go March 27, 2025 - 8:42 pm
ps5 pro looks better than my 4070 wtf
@alexbayer2365 March 27, 2025 - 8:42 pm
Performance pro mode is even better than the quality mode on base PS5.
@ArianIsGoated March 27, 2025 - 8:42 pm
Now i feel scammed for buying the regular ps5
