Summary
Lies of Pis getting aPlayStation 5 Proupgrade, Neowiz has announced. The critically acclaimed soulslike will thus add to the growing list of games showcasing the capabilities of the upcomingPS5model.
ThePS5 Pro is scheduled for release on November 7. Priced at $699.99, Sony’s mid-generation console upgrade promises to improve on its 2020 predecessor in three key ways: rendering speeds, ray tracing efficiency, and resolution upscaling. To that end, the device is equipped with a larger GPU that’s claimed to offer up to 45% faster rendering speeds and up to 200% speedier ray tracing calculations. It’s also meant to deliver greater detail on account of its support for PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), Sony’s proprietary technology for AI-powered upscaling.
Lies of Pis now set to take advantage of some of these capabilities, with Neowiz announcing that its hit soulslike has already earned its “PS5 Pro Enhanced” label. The game’s support for Sony’s upcoming console was incorporated into the latestLies of Pupdate, which rolled out on Tuesday, October 15. This turn of events will not come as a surprise to the most attentive ofLies of Pfans, as the soulslike’s PlayStation Store page already had it listed as “PS5 Pro Enhanced” since late September 2024.
How Will Lies of P PS5 Pro Version Be Different From the Original?
Neowiz’sofficial changelogattached to the October 15 patch simply reiterates the publisher’s announcement of PS5 Pro support, without elaborating on what the feature actually entails. But based on what PS5 architect Mark Cerny said about the upcoming device back in September, there is a plausible chance thatLies of Pwill offer just one graphics mode on the PS5 Pro. The existing current-gen console versions on both PlayStation and Xbox have three modes, offering players a choice between 30fps, 40fps, and 60fps targets. In contrast, the PS5 Pro might be able to incorporate all of the eye candy from the 30fps mode, which makesLies of Plook like one of themost graphically impressive games of 2023, while maintaining a stable 60fps.
Lies of P Most Likely Won’t Do Anything With PS5 Pro’s Ray Tracing Improvements
SinceLies of Pdoesn’t support ray tracing, it won’t be able to do anything with the PS5 Pro’s improvements on this front, unless Neowiz implemented ray tracing support into the latest patch without saying so. While this isn’t completely impossible on account of Unreal Engine 4 offering streamlined tools for enabling ray tracing, it is still unlikely. This is largely because the game already makes use of spectral lighting and other techniques that would necessitate its lighting models to be completely reworked or replaced if ray tracing were to be implemented, which would ostensibly require a massive effort.
Lies of Padds to the growinglist of PS5 Pro Enhanced games, which already numbers over 60 titles.Alan Wake 2,Assassin’s Creed Shadows, andHogwarts Legacyare just some of the games promised to take advantage of Sony’s upcoming console, as areGran Turismo 7,Horizon Forbidden West, andMarvel’s Spider-Man 2.
