Black Myth: Wukong PS5 Pro

The update bringing a challenge mode, in-game maps, and new armour pieces revealed for Black Myth: Wukong earlier in the week has not actually gone live yet, but it's now received a patch itself to include PS5 Pro support. We now know the update goes live tomorrow, 14th December 2024, and works to improve the Quality and Balanced Modes in the title.

On PS5 Pro, you can expect the following once the patch has been downloaded:

  • PS5 Pro now supports PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). By enabling it, you can achieve a high-definition visual experience by selecting either Quality or Balanced Mode in Settings.
  • The system supports 120 Hz Output. When enabled in Balanced Mode, it maintains a stable 40 FPS output. If you encounter any visual anomalies, you can turn it off in PS5 Settings.
  • Various scenes and boss fights have been optimized for better game performance.
  • The stability of frame rates and visual clarity in both Balanced Mode and Quality Mode have been enhanced.
  • The input response has been improved in Performance Mode.

The patch notes make note of how you can "enable" PSSR, which suggests the feature is a toggle rather than something that's mandated. With other titles like Silent Hill 2 and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora suffering from issues when PSSR is activated, this is a good sign that if Black Myth: Wukong has those problems too, you can turn it off straight away. Then, the framerate for both the Quality and Balanced Modes should be more stable while 120fps is supported for 4K TVs.

Will you test Black Myth: Wukong on PS5 Pro now it officially supports the console's features? Let us know in the comments below.
