Extra Information

Disclaimer: DT 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 DT with PSSR2 and confirmed these improvements (especially a cleaner image by removing noise), so PSSR2 is recommended.

Base PS5 has a performance mode at 1440p/60fps (936p internal) and quality mode at 4K/30fps (1440p internal). Pro renders at 4K/60fps (1270p internal) and looks sharper (especially in motion) than even base PS5 quality mode, despite the lower internal resolution, due to PSSR1 (improved further with PSSR2). Though, PSSR1 could resolve more image instability/noise (both fixed with PSSR2). Pro's framerate is also more stable in areas where base PS5 isn't, but can still dip below 60fps at higher difficulties due to more enemies onscreen. Finally, Pro runs most graphical settings equivalent to 'high' on PC.
