High On Life 2

Extra Information

Disclaimer: HoL2 uses PSSR1 natively, so this page still displays PSSR1 metrics. However, as of September 26, the 'Enhance PSSR Image Quality' toggle (which forces PSSR2 upscaling) is activated by default. PSSR2 was made the default because it resolves a sharper, more stable image and removes PSSR1's film grain-like noise. Digital Foundry also reviewed HoL2 with PSSR2 and confirmed these improvements (especially the sharper image/less UE5 noise), so PSSR2 is recommended.

Pro has DRS (usually around 792p) before upscaling to 4K via TSR or PSSR1. While TSR has more aliasing/shimmering on edges, PSSR1 has more overall instability/noise and is softer with noticeably more flickering/fizzle in lighting (fixed with PSSR2). Pro's framerate maintains 60fps most of the time in smaller areas, but can dip into the mid 50s in cities.

Base PS5 also uses DRS, but is usually around 720p before upscaling to 4K via TSR only. It also has a less stable 60fps which can drop under the VRR window, with traversal stutters, in cities/larger fights. Finally, both consoles use screen space contact shadows in conjunction with UE5's virtual shadow maps. This can be distracting when a close shadow is occluded from screen space.
