Warhammer: Vermintide 2
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 has no standalone PS5 SKU - it runs through PS4 backward compatibility - but Fatshark shipped a dedicated PS5 enhancement in Update 1.23 (July 2021, hotfixed in 1.24). On PS5 the game moves from 1080p30 to 1440p60 and gains improved shadow quality, more shadow-casting lights, denser scattering effects and screen-space reflections. There is no ray tracing and no documented 120Hz mode. Base PS4 and PS4 Pro run the original 30fps configuration; Fatshark advertised a non-native 4K hybrid solution with HDR on PS4 Pro at launch, but no independent measurement of those figures has been published. The game predates PS5 Pro and no Pro patch exists.
