Hades — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Hades keeps things simple on PlayStation: there are no graphics modes to pick because every console version targets a locked 60fps. Base PS4 renders at 1080p, while the native PS5 build steps up to full 4K with the same rock-solid frame rate and dramatically faster loading between runs - which matters in a game built around dying and restarting. PS5 Pro adds nothing extra: with no dedicated patch it simply runs the PS5 version, which is already maxed out at 4K60.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5 Pro
On PS5 Hades renders at full 4K with a locked 60fps and near-instant loading between runs. There are no graphics options to choose from because none are needed.

Known issues
In heavily populated zones like Bug Hill near Demeniss, extreme enemy counts create severe CPU bottlenecks that cause frame rates across all graphics modes to drop below 30fps.
Ultra quality post-processing settings in PS5 Pro Balanced and Quality modes introduce lens distortion that visibly softens distant details compared to base PS5.
Heavy priority on character animations causes noticeable input lag in combat and platforming sequences.
