Extra Information

Disclaimer: As DT isn't whitelisted by Sony, it uses PSSR1 by default, so this page still displays PSSR1 metrics. While PSSR2 hasn't been tested with DT yet, Mark Cerny (PS5 architect) said Sony's broader testing found no issues in most titles. Only a few suffered from instability in sub-pixel light sources, with 99%+ of the game still improved. Community PSSR2 testing supports this, where at the very least, games are more stable, sharper, and remove PSSR1's film grain-like noise. Therefore, enable PSSR2 by activating 'Enhance PSSR Image Quality' in PS5 system settings, and only revert back if there are major issues.

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 PSSR. 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. Pro also runs most graphical settings equivalent to 'high' on PC.
