Can the PlayStation 5 run Crysis Remastered? You bet it can – in fact, better than ever with Crytek’s latest update. A new upgrade available today bumps the game’s overall performance, and while it retains the same settings from the PS4 Pro version, you should see some meaningful improvements to the experience.
Namely, the Quality Mode, which ran at 30 frames-per-second in 1800p on PS4 Pro, will now achieve 60 frames-per-second on Sony’s next-gen console. You’ll also be able to enjoy Crytek’s software-based raytracing solution in 1440p at 60 frames-per-second, although it’s worth noting that you shouldn’t expect the same level of reflections seen in native PS5 games like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
In addition to the PS5 improvements, Crytek has also crushed a bunch of bugs and added some new features, including a brand new level, Ascension, which is making its console debut here. A nice upgrade for existing owners of the game, then – and it’s a free patch at that. The boosted performance alone should make this classic first-person shooter worth revisiting.

A free update is welcome! If only every publisher followed this model on the ps5 eh?
PS5: You can play games at 2k but you can't use a 2k display
Crysis ! What Crysis ?
I have to apologise to those who like crysis, but its the blandest videogame I think I ever played.
Great to see more PS5 upgrades.
I got this on PC, mostly to see the universal RayTracing implementation on Crytek. I then remembered why I never finished it years ago. I did not even make it to where I left off last time.
I played it on ps5 (PS4 backward ) idk if I'm going back to play this game again...
The game is such an overrated POS imo and wasn't that great when it was new, so imo it's definitely aged very poorly.
I have all the crysis games on pc and although i enjoyed crysis 2 and 3 but i always found the first game to look amazing but very meh in the actual gameplay..i bought it on the ps3 just to see if it could actually be playable and it was seizure inducing..my god what was the frame rate on that horror..10-15 fps? Why keep flogging this tech demo?
Any excuse to play these games again and I'll take it. Crysis 2 was my favourite and I always used to like using the Cloak or Invisibility to sneak up on enemies.
crytek. now that is a brand i have not seen mentioned in a very long time. talk about one of the most overhyped developers in the history of gaming that seemingly disappeared overnight. all style. no substance.
Oh, they brought back ascension?
@LordOfTurnips well, I've played crysis at launch and it was awesome. The suit thing and the physics were something else. Of course after more than 10 years it wears off. And then you could have fun melting your PC messing around with the graphics options 😅
The digital Foundry analysis showed that Xbox series X couldn't maintain a solid 60fps, not even close. It will be interesting to see how the PS5 does, when they get their hands on it
Never understood the hype. Yes the original PC game was technically incredible at the time....but the game is still average at best . Crysis 2 was a better game .... I would look at it in a sale, maybe?. Its still running back compat from PS4 Pro so it can't hit native 4K .... its held back but either way...60fps will certainly help the game...but the gameplay is still the same.
Can we get Crysis 2 and 3 remastered?
@charbtronic Every single game on PS5 that claims to have a 1440 resolution uses some form of upscaling to achieve a non-native 4K image. There aren't any true 1440 games anyway. Not really. This is so overblown and stupid. This isn't PC you have 144hz 2K monitor it's not like you could take advantage of it anyway on PS5. Just use your 4K TV for PS5.
It really has always boggled my mind why people invented this fake controversy. They don't make 1440 P televisions and who is going to use their little monitor for PS5? 4K TVs are like $200 now. And latency has gotten so much better on TVs especially those with 120 HZ panels. You can get a 50-in 4K with 120 HZ native on sale for like $700.
@LordOfTurnips For sure, but it was solid action back in 2007 and now it's minted in gaming history. The game has a special little place in my heart even though it's technically not a great game. It's still decent and fun. I'm excited to see what it looks like on PS5.
@iamtylerdurden1 Well think about this for a second. My gaming setup is in my office. I have a dual monitor setup that I use for work and play (1440p 144hz). Multiple consoles running through a 4k hdmi kvm to one of those monitors (PS3, Switch, Super NT). The other HDMI port for the monitor would/should be my PS5, but it's still my PS4. Not ideal.
Due to wife and kids, I don't keep my gaming consoles in the family room with the big fancy 4k tv since they are using it most of the time.
So yes my setup is not like everyone else, but if I can use a 1080p display, and a 2160p display, why not a 1440p display. I don't care about running high refresh rates, just let me use it. It should be able to scale. So in the meantime my PS5 is still in the box.
