The PS5 Pro is slated to be the most powerful gaming console in PlayStation history and promises to improve the performance and visual quality of the PS5's best games With just a few weeks to go until launch (November 7), the list of must-see games that will look or run better on the Pro is quite extensive

As of this writing, 54 games have been tagged with PS5 Pro Enhanced Some of these were confirmed at the PlayStation Technical Showcase, where the PS5 Pro was first unveiled, while others were announced at the most recent State of Play presentation In addition, a new section of the PlayStation Store reveals that more PS5 Pro Enhanced games will be added to the store This list will grow further before and after the launch of the PS5 Pro

So, if you've already pre-ordered a PS5 Pro and are among the first group of gamers to get their hands on this powerful gaming console, here are all the PS5 games that will see a performance boost thanks to the Pro's upgraded hardware:

Reviews of Dragon's Dogma 2 earlier this year were generally positive, but if there is one major criticism of this sprawling fantasy RPG, it is its inability to maintain a consistent frame rate Moreover, it only targeted 30 fps instead of 60 fps, which is the industry standard even for this generation of consoles These frame rate hiccups occasionally spoiled the epic adventures in a memorable, exciting, and hostile world [Fortunately, “Dragon's Dogma 2” is confirmed to be one of the first titles to receive the PS5 Pro boost, with publisher Capcom stating via the PlayStation Blog that “‘Dragon's Dogma 2’ will be the first title to benefit from the power of PS5 Pro, PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), and new ray tracing technology to improve frame rates” It is likely that the time for the second installment will come soon

“Final Fantasy VII Rebirth” is quickly becoming the poster child for the PS5 Pro The title has been chosen for numerous comparison shots on social media and is one of the games we've seen the most footage of running on the Pro console; Digital Foundry staff has created an extensive video about the upgrades seen in this game thanks to the PS5 Pro, and and technical experts labeled it a “significant improvement”

At launch this past February, “Rebirth” was criticized for the poor image quality found in performance mode (which prioritizes high frame rates at the expense of visual fidelity), but thanks to the PS5 Pro, players have no choice between 60fps and a crisp image, They can look forward to exploring the game's lush open world This benefit is, in a nutshell, the PS5 Pro's selling point

The Last of Us Part II Remastered was one of the first games Sony chose to run on the PS5 Pro, no doubt due in part to brand synergy (the first trailer for “The Last of Us” Season 2 was was released), but also because the controversial sequel was already one of the best-looking games on PS5 in fidelity mode And the PS5 Pro delivers that visual splendor without sacrificing frame rate

Naughty Dog's 2020 masterpiece has already been powered up this year to take full advantage of the PS5 with a remaster, and we can't wait to see how this top-notch developer has further enhanced this already great game with the PS5 Pro The Last of Us Part II is a game that I will never get tired of, and even if the story is emotionally draining, I will play it again when I get my PS5 Pro

Does “Lies of P” particularly need to be enhanced with the PS5 Pro? Not particularly; experiences like “Souls” already look phenomenal and run at a solid frame rate on the PS5 base console But any excuse to return to the dark gothic world of Krat, bursting with brutal boss encounters, is fine by me

“Lies of P” was my personal Game of the Year for 2023, but now that it has been confirmed that a DLC expansion (and full sequel) is in development, I'm itching to play it a second time The PS5 Pro's upcoming enhanced upgrade is Serendipitous timing, I feel, so “Lies of P” will almost certainly be one of the first games I launch on the PS5 Pro

Like “Dragon's Dogma 2,” “Star Wars Jedi Survivor” was a great game that was plagued by technical issues at launch Play during the launch period was particularly rough, with glitches galore, unstable frame rates, and very frustrating texture pop-in on semi-open levels Fortunately, many of these glitches were remedied in post-launch patches

Nevertheless, it remains a game that could shine even brighter with a little more power, and like its peers on this list, I think the launch of the PS5 Pro is a great time to return for a second playthrough
