With hands-on impressions of games running natively on PlayStation 5 Pro hardware, it's safe to say that for console gamers looking for the best visual fidelity, Sony's mid-generation refresh won't disappoint. From in-race 60FPS ray tracing in Gran Turismo 7 to the impressive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 running at a full 60 FPS with Fidelity Mode visuals.

Throw in PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution or PSSR upscaling, which uses AI like NVIDIA's DLSS to deliver a crisper and cleaner image compared to the baseline PS5 console, and there's definite hype surrounding the Pro after the lukewarm initial reaction.

However, the PlayStation 5 Pro, even at $699, will not be able to compete with a high-end or mid-range GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU in terms of its overall performance and ray-tracing capabilities - case in point: Remedy's Alan Wake 2.

Alan Wake 2 is getting PlayStation 5 Pro enhancements, including the addition of ray tracing to the game's Quality or Fidelity mode. Thanks to PSSR, the 60 FPS Performance mode also has improved visuals, effects, and overall image quality.

I mean the pricing for the console is fair here, even a PC at the same price will run the game at the same margin, there is no need for people to be blatantly upset about this lol
