that wasn't because of a system-level feature, though, that was just monster hunter running better on PS5 because it had an unlocked framerate in the first place.

PS5 Pro supports a systemwide "Image Quality Enhancement" for PS4 games, presumably a dedicated upscaler (update: looks like just a sharpening filter)

- Rumor Sony

Got the image from someone i know on discord that got the console early from a retailer, not sure yet what it specifically does or how well, but presumably sony made a systemwide upscaling pass for all PS4 games to improve image quality, so this should even affect games like Bloodborne (no it wouldnt unlock it to 60fps).
It wont be to the level of PSSR because its system wide and does not rely on motion vectors, but will be super interesting to see how it works.
Can't your friend try Bloodborne and share some screenshots? You know, for science!
Because of the same reason why you would turn it off for PS4 games.
Yes, I know. I was pointing it out as an example of more than 10 games benefitting from the feature as listed.
BOOOOOOOOThey just tried and it has no effect, for BB at least

Yep, its still running at 1080p.They just tried and it has no effect, for BB at least
Seems like its more complicated what gets enhanced and what isnt.
If it doesn't do anything in Bloodborne this might be the case.

I thought that was the case, but Bloodborne looks identical, so hard to say what this feature is yet.
Sony must have not pushed the res boost patch for Bloodborne yet. /copeThey just tried and it has no effect, for BB at least
Imo the writing of "some games" / "selected games" indicates it'll be a whitelist sort of situation. Ik Sony's more careful about saying "all games" becasue of legal issues but when it's a global setting they use some other language (ex: "HDR Always On", "Force VRR", etc.)
Can your friend confirm if there is a 'Boost mode' toggle like PS4 Pro had?

Or is it like PS5 where Game Boost is applied automatically?
Also is Astro's Playroom PS5 Pro Enhanced?
I'm we extremely confident Sony will give us all a clear and comprehensive update at some point in the next five or so years. Right before they restock the disc drive and release Pro console covers.
PS4 games will be running via BC and as such the function might not work as intended, so the off switch needs to be there for the. All PS5 games will be running using native hardware.
Yeah I'm in the same boat surprisingly enough lol. I want to see how it works.
Yup.
Same thing. Boost mode wasnt flawless, IIRC some games it was best to not use it.
Liabe Brave and that PS4 Pro thread was amazing.
You're right - it doesn't lower the hw-floor - I misspoke there. But it does allows LFC to be used, which is lowering the floor in software.
But indeed for that to work system-wide Sony would have to make further system changes.
At this point - I half expect it.
I hope digital foundry are working on answering what the pros best features are capable of right now.
Thanks.
I studied playstation.com right now.
And every presented PS5pro "boost" has an asterisk that says at the bottom of the page that PS5 games need a patch to profit from said boost.
For now i will take that as the case, until i see some Digital Foundry comparison of unpatched PS5 games.

Is there not a second image without the setting?
Bloodborne is cursed. Only hope is Bluepoint remake, but they have brand new game in development now, so maybe it's not happening. :(
They're "all hands on deck" according to their Patreon page.
I wonder if it's just something like RTX Video Super Resolution or Topaz Video AI, but running over a game.
Would be an easy win since FSR is definitely better than nothing, so would kinda be disappointed if it isn't that.
When will this nightmare end. The night and the dream, were forever long.They just tried and it has no effect, for BB at least
The Enhanced Image Quality for PS4 games is still a different feature to Game Boost. VRR for unsupported games toggle has the same message too.Its almost the same text for Boost Mode on PS4 Pro:
Yup, VRR too.
I'm just pointing out the 'some games' and 'turn off if having unexpected behavior' text.
Bloodborne has everything capped, res and framerate
even ps4 doesn't do anything
Yeah. With the VRR for unsupported games, I leave it on but only had a few games with issues. Mainly GOTG and The Medium.
Hopefully there's only a few with issues but you can set it and forget it for most games.

Well to be fair, out of the sample of one game we have so far, it didnt really seem to do much lol. But maybe we are missing something here. Hopefully DF's review figures out whats the deal here. Maybe its an experimental feature that requires whitelisting the game.
Heck, they might have not even released the whitelisted lineup to production so the feature is not doing anything prior to launch (pure copium on that)
Sony needs to start providing examples instead of leaving it to everyone else to figure out what's different. Like they have to know of some games it works with otherwise there's no point in adding it.
This screenshot just reminds me of how pretty bloodborne is, even tho I've never played it (not my type of game).They just tried and it has no effect, for BB at least
