Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts Legacy receives notable upgrades on PS5 Pro compared to the base PS5. The base console relied on TAAU paired with first-generation FSR for upscaling. On PS5 Pro, PSSR upscaling replaces earlier image reconstruction methods, and the 30fps Fidelity RT mode adds higher-resolution, longer-range ray-traced reflections alongside PC-grade RT shadows. A standard Fidelity mode provides higher resolution without RT, while the 60fps Performance mode elevates visual settings to match the base PS5's Fidelity mode. The PS5 Pro offers a significant visual upgrade, particularly in ray tracing quality and image clarity.
