In a major announcement, Blizzard Entertainment has confirmed that Diablo 4 will receive enhancements for the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro. This news marks a significant step, as it makes Diablo 4 the first Microsoft-owned game to officially support Sony’s new console.
Diablo General Manager Rod Fergusson made the announcement on Twitter, expressing excitement for the team’s achievement. He stated, “I’m happy to say that Diablo IV and Vessel of Hatred will indeed be PS5 Pro Enhanced! Very proud of our hardworking team to make this happen. More details at a later date.”
The PS5 Pro, set for release on November 7th, boasts a range of enhancements, including AI-powered upscaling through PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). This technology aims to significantly improve image clarity and overall gaming performance. Players can expect smoother frame rates, sharper visuals, and potentially faster load times when playing Diablo 4 on the PS5 Pro.
While exact details regarding Diablo 4’s performance improvements are currently under wraps, the confirmation itself has sparked excitement among fans. This news also raises questions about other Activision Blizzard titles, particularly the Call of Duty series, and whether they will also receive PS5 Pro enhancements.
The confirmation of Diablo 4’s PS5 Pro enhancement comes at an interesting time, with the game already being available on Microsoft’s Game Pass service. It will be interesting to see how the upcoming Vessel of Hatred expansion plays into these developments and further enhances the Diablo 4 experience for players.
Other confirmed games for the PS5 Pro include titles like Alan Wake 2, Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, Demon’s Souls, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and Gran Turismo 7. These games are clearly labeled within the PlayStation Store as PS5 Pro Enhanced, making it easy for players to identify and choose games that offer the best performance on the new console.
