PS5 PlayStation Push Square

While future games sound interesting in theory, we already have plenty of older games in our backlog. Oddly, that might be another reason to pick up Sony's shiny mid-gen refresh, the PS5 Pro. PlayStation product manager Toshimasa Aoki has indicated that a specific setting will enhance certain PS4 games and that the extra, boosted performance will even reduce PSVR2-induced motion sickness.

Japanese outlet 4Gamer spoke to Aoki (thanks, PSLS), who said that an Image Quality Boost feature allows for simple upscaling on PS5 currently, without utilising PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). On PS5 Pro, Aoki says this can be used to enhance the performance of titles that support variable frame rates. Elsewhere, Aoki says that this boost will even benefit PSVR2 users, alleging that the enhanced performance (and thus, fewer dropped frames) will reduce the motion sickness some users experience.

Of course, it remains to be seen how impactful these boosts will ultimately be, but still, its hard to complain. What do you think, is a PS5 Pro just what you need to dive into your PS4 backlog? Let us know in the comments section below.
