Capcom's dropped a new update for Dragon's Dogma 2. While it does fix a handful of weird issues in the here and now, its main purposes is to prepare the game for PS5 Pro, which obviously launches next week.
As the patch notes detail, two new options are being added to the graphics menu. PS5 Pro users will be able to toggle PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution — or PSSR as it's come to be known — from there, increasing image quality through Sony's new AI-driven tech.
Those who shell out for the especially expensive system will also be able to select a new 'Balanced' setting, which we assume will boost the game's resolution without tanking the frame rate. The best of both worlds, etc.
For the record, Capcom's managed to improve Dragon's Dogma 2 quite dramatically since its release back in March. However, the frame rate still has a tendency to dip when the screen gets busy, and the resolution can be hit and miss depending on the graphics mode you're using.
The PS5 Pro should make the whole thing run smoother than ever — but unless it's bordering on a transformative change, we can see people bemoaning the fact that they need to pay £700 just to hit a smooth 60 frames-per-second. There are some interesting conversations on the horizon...
