While Highway Drifter has the Pro Enhanced badge on the PSN Store, it's unclear what enhancements, if any, are actually present. Both base PS5 and Pro run at a locked 60fps. However, both consoles share image quality issues, including extreme pop-in, stair-stepped occlusion around the car on wet roads, and shimmering/instability on certain assets. Both also use SSR for reflections and seem to render at the same resolution, as they exhibit an identical number of stair-stepped edges in menus - something easy to verify due to no anti-aliasing. If there are Pro enhancements, they're minimal at best and base PS5 is easily capable of delivering the same experience.
