Resident Evil Requiem — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Resident Evil Requiem is a visual showcase across PlayStation platforms. The base PS5 runs a 60fps presentation using a spatial scaler from a render resolution slightly above 1080p, retaining the strand-based hair rendering but omitting ray-traced reflections and global illumination. On PS5 Pro, the title offers a major upgrade: its RT Mode maintains a 60fps target while incorporating ray-traced reflections, global illumination, and high-quality temporal upscaling to near-4K. PS5 Pro also features a 120Hz high frame rate mode with VRR support. Overall, PS5 Pro is the definitive way to play.
