The Elder Scrolls Online
The Elder Scrolls Online's next-gen client is a big step up on PlayStation 5: 4K output, a 60fps target and dramatically faster zone loading, which matters in an MMO where you are constantly moving between areas. The PS4 client stays at 1080p and 30fps with long loads. There are no graphics modes to select and no PS5 Pro-specific version.
