Resident Evil Village
Resident Evil Village performs well on both PS5 and PS5 Pro. On base PS5, the game uses 4K checkerboard rendering (native 1920x2160) at 60fps with ray tracing, though frame rates can dip into the mid-40s in demanding scenes. PS5 Pro introduces PSSR upscaling from 1536x864 to 4K across all modes; while temporal stability improves, image sharpness is a slight trade-off against base PS5's checkerboarding. PS5 Pro locks 60fps firmly with ray tracing enabled and introduces a new 120Hz mode that achieves a near-locked 120fps with RT disabled, or 55-90fps with RT active. The PS5 Pro upgrade provides solid performance benefits for high refresh rate display owners.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5 Pro
PS5 Pro upgrades Resident Evil Village with PSSR upscaling from 1536x864 to 4K in all modes. Ray tracing at 60Hz runs at a much more robust 60fps than base PS5. A new 120Hz mode delivers up to 120fps with RT disabled, or 55-90fps with RT enabled. Fine hair motion blur is a slight visual side-effect of PSSR implementation.
Adds PSSR upscaling to 4K from a fixed 1536x864 rendering resolution and introduces a Pro-exclusive 120Hz high frame-rate mode toggle.
120Hz Mode (RT On)
PS5 ProFixed 1536x864 reconstructed to 4K with PSSR and ray tracing enabled.
60Hz Ray Tracing Mode
PS5 ProReconstructs 1536x864 to 4K using PSSR. More temporally stable than checkerboarding, but fine hair detail blurs in motion.
120Hz Mode (RT Off)
PS5 ProFixed 1536x864 upscaled to 4K via PSSR. Ray tracing features disabled.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
Resident Evil Village on base PS5 utilizes 4K checkerboard rendering from a native 1920x2160 resolution. Performance with ray tracing enabled targets 60fps and generally holds well, though intense scenes can cause dips into the mid-40s. Displaying on a VRR monitor effectively smooths out these performance drops.
Ray Tracing Mode
PS5Uses 4K checkerboard rendering at native 1920x2160. Image is crisp but displays pixellation artefacts. Includes RT reflections, ambient occlusion, and GI.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 4 Pro
PS4 Pro offers flexible options between resolution and performance. The 1080p mode delivers a fluid 60fps experience, whereas the 4K mode averages 40fps and suffers from noticeable ghosting.
Prioritize Frame Rate Mode
PS4 ProNative 1080p image without ghosting issues seen in resolution mode.
Prioritize Screen Resolution Mode
PS4 ProRenders at 3840x2160 using checkerboard rendering; exhibits noticeable ghosting.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 4
Base PS4 presents impressive optimization, operating natively at 1600x900 resolution while maintaining solid visual parity with higher-end consoles.
Standard Mode
PS4Renders at a native resolution of 1600x900 with visuals close to PS4 Pro.
PS5 vs PS5 Pro
Side-by-side comparison of graphics modes, resolution and technical features.
PS5 Pro introduces PSSR upscaling to 4K from 1536x864 resolution and adds a 120Hz high frame-rate option. Frame rate stability at 60fps with ray tracing is noticeably improved over base PS5. The 120Hz mode offers smooth high frame rate gameplay up to 120fps with RT disabled, or 55-90fps with RT enabled. Image sharpness is a side-step compared to base PS5 checkerboarding.

I was there playing the demo and have managed to capture basically every version and every iteration available between the playstation consoles.
The PS5 Pro does have an advantage is the frame rate with rate tracing turned off even the regular PS5 runs really well.
This new game takes place entirely in first person but with some key improvements both to game design and overall technology.
