Helldivers 2 has been added to the list of All PS5 Pro Enhanced Games, as the Arrowhead Studios community manager Twinbeard confirms via Discord there'll be "differences between the current PS5 and the Pro versions". However, it does sound like this PS5 Pro patch might not be ready for the console's release on 7th November 2024 because "what those [differences] are is yet to be confirmed".
Helldivers 2 on base PS5 offers a Performance and Quality Mode, with the former running at 60 frames-per-second at a 1080p resolution while the latter halves the frame rate for 1728p. So far, developers have been using the PS5 Pro to upgrade the modes already offered on the base system, and also implementing new features like ray tracing. It's possible Arrowhead Studios may do the same, offering 60fps in its Quality Mode or upgrading the resolution of the Performance Mode. We'll need to await more details from the team to see how the co-op shooter is enhanced on PS5 Pro.
What resolution and frames do you want Helldivers 2 to run at on PS5 Pro? Let us know in the comments below.

Excellent! This is the game I play the most currently. I figured the PS5 Pro would enhance the game naturally with better performance, but direct support is even better!
I’d love a 120 mode at 4k I think PRO could handle that from what we’ve seen so far 🔥
Spreading democracy never looked so good!
Pro enhancements have also been announced for Dead Island 2 and Rise of the Ronin
4k60 needs to become the standard
@Mikey856 I hope by 4K, you mean "4K" that comes from PSSR as the base PS5 can't even run 4K at 30fp.
I am not knocking upscaling, by the way, just making sure your expectations are in check.
I do wonder how prevalent 120 mode will be on PS5 Pro.
My guess it won't be used for that and will mostly just provide better image quality at 60fps. Perhaps some current 120 titles will get PSSR support, but I don't see a 120 Modes exclusive to PS5 Pro being a thing.
So far, though, Sony has been focusing on 60fps.
Time will tell.
@GamingFan4Lyf with many titles failing to deliver even 4K@60FPS on current consoles I doubt AAA devs will invest into further optimization for hitting 120FPS with PS5 PRO. Guess 120 will still remain uncommon even next gen with only some competitive titles and indie games supporting it.
Let's be honest, no one can ever notice any difference in image quality between these modes. I always go for performance because you do notice frame rate. If they make the graphics "better" whilst still running at 60fps no one will be able to spot the difference. And this is why I won't be buying a ps5 pro.
INB4 "AAAAAAAAAH THIS PS5 PRO PATCH FOR HELLDIVERS WAS RELEASED ONLY FOR THE PS5 PRO LET'S START REVIEW BOMBING!!!" 😅
Given the game is very likely CPU bottle-necked any upgrade would likely come with PSSR up-scaling. Hopefully with an upgrade to FSR 3.1 for base consoles in tow, anything to bring us up from that untouched 1080p resolution.
@GamingFan4Lyf yeah I saw a Digital Foundry video where the pro upscales GT7 to 8k at 60 so I’m thinking surely it will do Heldivers upscale to 4k at 120 🤞
@ButterySmooth30FPS even though i platinumed RotR and didn't mind the fps it does need that boost. At the least it would make parrying work better.
I find it weird how they have managed to get upscaling to work on PS5 but not on PC especially with a dead unsupported engine ?? People have been asking for DLSS and FSR support but the threads of it won't work on a dead engine yet they've managed to get it to work with Sony's PSSR??
What I would like to see is optimization patches because it really is a CPU bound game and it is all over the place at the moment. I also don't understand what difference it will make to this game anyway
I hope they heavily implement that PSSR upscaler to get the same insane graphics we see on PC..
When the action is breaking loose, PS5 suffer a lot of dropped frames and very low resolution on the performance mode..
I never played it on Quality mode aside switching on once or twice on certain planets just to see the difference....
The videos I see from PC sometimes are so much better than PS5 that I feel jealous...
