PS4 Pro – are you still excited?

Almost 40 different games will be improved by running on the PS4 Pro, including Battlefield 1 and COD: Infinite Warfare.

Hades Nintendo Switch review – god of resurrection

The PS4 Pro, Sony’s more powerful version of the existing PlayStation 4, will be released on Thursday, November 10 but as many have pointed out there’s been precious little new information or promotion for it lately.

That changed today when the official PlayStation Blog revealed which games would be enhanced and improved on the PS4 Pro from day one.

Existing games need a patch to take advantage of the PS4 Pro’s power, but the list below is a good mix of both older first party Sony titles and third party games from other publishers.




Other forthcoming games have also pledged PS4 Pro support, including Final Fantasy XV, Watch Dogs 2, Resident Evil 7, and For Honor. As such it’s likely that PS4 Pro optimisation will come as standard for all major titles next year.

The only problem with the list below is that it doesn’t say what the enhancements will be, which is likely to be at least slightly different for each game.

The blog post though promises, ‘enhanced performance via boosted CPU and GPU, with resolution up to 4K, HDR imaging technology, and faster, more stable frame rates’.

(Update: Sony has added to the list, with games such as Battlezone, Dishonored 2, Thumper, and Neo Chrome. Oddly, they’ve also removed PlayStation VR puzzle game Tumble.)

(Update 2: The Last Guardian is also getting PS4 Pro optomised, while Sony Japan has annouced BlazBlue: Central Fiction, World Of Final Fantasy, and Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star will all get day one patches. We assume the updates will be released in Europe at the same time.)
