Hell is Us — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Hell is Us runs on Unreal Engine 5 and ships with a 60 fps performance target on PS5, but hands-on testing describes a frame rate that fluctuates rather than holding 60, with stutter during traversal and area transitions. PS5 Pro adds PSSR upscaling: reviewers report a visibly sharper image, far fewer pop-ins and steadier performance than base PS5, although side-by-side comparisons also flag artefacts in the PSSR implementation, which was later revised in an update. No pixel-count or frame-time analysis has been published for either console yet, so internal and output resolutions, ray tracing status and 120 Hz support remain unverified.
