Extra Information

Base PS5 has the same 3 modes with similar resolution targets and framerate performance. However, Pro's PSSR2 upscaling resolves a sharper, cleaner, and more stable image compared to the same mode on base PS5 via TAAU. There's a particularly big gap between performance modes, as base PS5's has no RT reflections (a big loss when on the ocean), more artifacting RTGI with reduced coverage, is softer, less geometrically dense, and even Edward has lower quality hair.

On Pro, all modes have individual hair strands for Edward/NPCs in cinematics, but fidelity mode extends this to nearby NPCs in gameplay too. Pro fidelity mode also has the sharpest image and has improved draw distances (higher quality trees etc). Both it and balanced mode also have sharper, more stable RT reflections, improved shadow resolution, and less obvious screen space shadows for distant structures/foliage. However in practice, the image quality gap between Pro modes is far smaller than base PS5. Pro performance mode still has great IQ that rivals base PS5 fidelity mode, but at 60fps.
