PS5 Pro Image Quality Issues Reported for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Not a good look for the pro so far.

Luckily my plays of hogwarts legacy and stellar blade have looked good despite encountering a bug in stellar blade preventing quests to unlock they have run very well regardless.

Well the PS5 Pro users ARE the beta testers of PSSR xD I guess this will all be resolved by PS6

So the pro has actually broken games 😬

The developer that brought you 15fps whenever water appeared on screen at launch, was hardly going to release a remotely passable Pro patch.

They are the Frank Spencer of game devs at this point.

@Mikey856 it's a minority of games for sure but for these few games it's very 'Brass Eye' "this is the one thing we didn't want to happen" 🤣

Didn't this game run poorly on high end PC too?

It is a terrible look however you slice it.. This console has exactly one selling point. If it does not do that then...

The 700$ Premium experience!
Only for enthusiasts

Star Wars outlaws is incredibly disappointing on pro too, with worse image than the base PS5 quality mode. Doesn’t even hit a consistent 60fps either.

I expected still having the choice between Quality and Performance when I got a Pro. Didn’t think I’d actually have to choose between Pro or base PS5 on certain games

Ah the joys of new tech...

It'd be lovely if everything worked straight out the box but that's very rarely the case.

PC players encounter this stuff all the time. One random update or new piece of hardware and stuff that had been working seamlessly for a decade is suddenly more broken than ever.

A bit frustrating but I'm sure it will be fixed in due course the same as DLSS got better and better with time.

@Oram77 It does.

This game has really poor image quality that noticeably shimmers on Pro that is completely absent on the base console. So not only does it not meet expectations from the Pro, it's noticeably worse than the experience on base console.

Ladies and gents, this is what 700 smackers gets you.

Glad I left PlayStation when I did.

PlayStation gets more ridiculous by the year with their constant greed.

@Wario_Waha and yet you post on a playstation centric website

Watched the DF Alan Wake 2 video yesterday and the same issues. PSSR needs some serious work when it's more comparable to FSR2 than DLSS

@Yusuo

Am I not allowed to share my opinion of this console and the general state of PlayStation? Of course I am.

Is there some agreement here that ONLY positive comments are allowed? Give me a break.

When something is wrong, you call it out.

As an owner of the launch digital console and with my TV being without OLED, 120 hz, and VRR, I cannot find enough reason to switch to PS5 Professional.

Also, I have subbed to EA Play and will therefore play Jedi Survivor at a patched state looking better than the Pro-version. All for the price of 1 dollar. Also, bundled in are FIFA 25, Deadspace and Immortals of Aveum.

I am happy - and my wallet is full

@Wario_Waha While every experience on Pro should be better than the base console for £700, it is only 4 out of 60-something titles at the moment. And 3 of those are likely to be updated in the near future 👍
It's the implementation of Pro features that are the issue with these games rather than the console itself though. The developers seem to be using either an older version of PSSR, messing up the implementation or trying to add improvements in areas that aren't needed rather than aiming for stability. Some odd choices indeed and in the case of Jedi, I'm not holding out much hope considering it's a mess everywhere 😂

These games are a real problem but the relative scale isn't too great when you think of all the improvements on other ones. It shouldn't be happening regardless and it's down to these devs rushing out patches.

@Medic_alert I think that's the point... people generally play console to avoid many of these issues. And yes, if you want a niche console, expect there to be teething issues (especially when there is likely not a lot of additional sales for the game devs/publishers).

Two systems isn't a huge extra complication, and I'm sure many of these issues will get resolved. It will be interesting to see how quickly these issues bed down, and to understand why some devs are finding PSSR more challenging...

@Loamy Very true, any negative pro stuff and the paupers will jump right on it here 🤣

@Jrs1 Well they have a good point in that this shouldn't be happening in the first place but it's not like it's unfixable because these issues don't appear elsewhere. It's more like teething issues while devs sort out priorities in development.

Edit: with Jedi Survivor I think it's hopeless when looking at their track record...

Guys, this is literally an unfair comparison when it took them 11 months or so to downgrade a PS4 rendition, versus just a meagre of 2 weeks to downgrade the PS5 Pro version. 🍿

I'd say let them cook~

Do you have to play with PSSR enabled or can it be switched off?

Sony should dictate good developer practices to take advantage of the new hardware or articles like this will be coming nonstop leaving a bad taste to their product and those who paid for it.

@Wario_Waha just like every tech company that releases a product u sitting here like Sony only greedy One lmao u people are funny every company greedy don't sit there like Xbox or Nintendo is any better

@Wario_Waha Why are you here? LMAO!

A bad patch, from a dev team that have so far with this game proved to be incompetent.

DF (similar to on their review of AW2 performance mode) called out that the devs had not focused on what they should have (ie resolution pre upscale), and I think it was this game that they questioned QA. They also mentioned persistent issues with stuttering on top spec PC - so a good time all round with this one.

A couple of bad implementations, considering all the really improved games I have seen and played isnt exactly going to change my opinion.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare yeah but the ps5 launched with a load of crashing issues, the Xbox series consoles had features that didn't work out the box, the Switch had and still has Joy-con issues, Steamdeck launched in a pretty poor state with the OS not really fit for purpose and the list goes on.

The machines are more complex, the games are more complex and they can all be updated in people's homes. So the money men can insist on a release date and testing can be dialled back to save money while error reports are collected from early adopters.

It is all about rubbish and I'm not defending it, it just is the reality of the business these days.

If people need to avoid it, then hold off new stuff for 3 to 6 months when most of it should be fixed.

@Mikey856
"Have you ever heard of Nintendo?"

Yeah, he/she has... just take one look at their bio / comments history.
