PS5 vs PS5 Pro
Side-by-side comparison of graphics modes, resolution and technical features.

Known issues
Due to a fixed native 4K resolution without dynamic resolution scaling, gameplay performance frequently drops into the 40s and down to 25fps.
Pre-rendered live-action scenes suffer from uneven frame-pacing at 30fps, while real-time in-engine cutscenes experience performance dips below 30fps.
