Sony has made good on its promise of not overlooking PS4 games with PS5 Pro. It has now been confirmed that the upcoming console comes with a dedicated system level option for last-gen games, and yes, early users are already testing it on Bloodborne.
PS5 Pro offers image quality improvements for PS4 games
An image circulating online shows that PS5 Pro has a new option under Screen and Video > Video Output. ‘Enhance Image Quality for PS4 Games’ does exactly what the title states, but with the caveat that it won’t work on all last-gen games, and players may have to turn the option off if they experience “unexpected behavior during gameplay.”
For some reason, Sony didn’t really advertise this feature, which is strange considering that players have amassed massive last-gen libraries at this point. Its existence was disclosed only a month ago, when a Japanese outlet specfically quizzed Sony about PS4 games running on PS5 Pro.
Bloodborne fans have long been vexed about lack of 60 fps support. While that remains a pipe dream, there is a slight improvement in the game’s image quality with the new image boost option turned on, as seen in the tweet below.
We’ll see how the option improves other PS4 games when the PS5 Pro launches.
