5 games we want to see running on PS5 Pro: Black Myth, Stellar Blade, and more

The PlayStation 5 Pro will launch in less than two months, and although it’s not as technologically advanced as some hoped, it can still benefit many games. Many titles this generation have launched with shoddy performance on the PS5. Other games would also see a boon from making their already gorgeous visuals look even better with features like PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR).

If the PS5 Pro can make the game much more stable in performance mode, it can ride the coattails of gaming’s biggest 2024 gaming breakout to great success.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor from Respawn Entertainment and EA was a fantastic game, but technical issues marred its launch across both PC and console. Many of those problems have since been sorted out, but this action-adventure title could still use a PS5 Pro boost. Mark Cerny used Survivor to show off ray tracing on the base PS5 model during the PS5 Pro’s reveal, but a PS5 Pro update for the game has not been confirmed. Considering that Respawn Entertainment got it working on PS4 and Xbox One and that it was
