Extra Information

Pro quality mode uses superior hardware-based RT (clearer, more accurate/full reflections etc) compared to the software-based RT in both base PS5 modes. Both Pro modes also hit their target framerate more often than their base PS5 version and Pro performance mode has a higher base resolution. However, Pro's quality mode, despite a more 4K like image and better RT, has so much PSSR shimmer that base PS5 quality mode looks better with TSR. Bloober has confirmed that they're working with Konami on a patch which will hopefully improve the PSSR implementation or revert to TSR (as they did for performance). However, it's now been over 1 year and the update did not arrive alongside the Series X|S November 2025 launch. Hopefully, it arrives in time with the SH2 movie in January 2026, or with the rumored Born from a Wish DLC.
