High on Life 2 — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
High on Life 2 features a single graphics mode on both PS5 and PS5 Pro targeting 60fps with full Unreal Engine 5 features enabled, including Nanite and software Lumen. Both platforms struggle with image clarity due to low internal rendering resolutions around 720p. The PS5 Pro provides options for both TSR and PSSR upscaling alongside slightly smoother performance, but fails to deliver a meaningful resolution or image quality upgrade over the base console.
We haven't found verified PlayStation performance coverage for this title from sources like Digital Foundry, Eurogamer or VG Tech. When independent testing is published, PSFoundry updates this page automatically.
