The PlayStation 5 Pro has officially hit the market, and despite initial criticism over its price and perceived graphical enhancements, it’s already surpassing sales expectations, even outpacing the PlayStation 4 Pro during its initial release period. While Sony’s initial announcement didn’t fully showcase the graphical and performance advantages of the PS5 Pro, independent comparisons are emerging, and they’re revealing a compelling picture.
One such comparison comes from YouTuber Cycu1, who has put ‘The Matrix Awakens’ Unreal Engine 5 demo to the test on both the PS5 Pro and the standard PS5. The results are clear: the PS5 Pro delivers a noticeably smoother and more visually stunning experience. The demo, while utilizing the first version of Unreal Engine 5 (released in 2022), showcases the power of the PS5 Pro’s upgraded hardware. It’s important to note that this is just the beginning; with a dedicated patch specifically tailored for the PS5 Pro, we can expect even further performance gains as the console’s enhanced components are fully utilized.
However, ‘The Matrix Awakens’ demo is a bit outdated, using the first version of Unreal Engine 5. Since its initial release, Unreal Engine 5 has gone through several updates, offering even more advanced features and graphical capabilities. Imagine the visual spectacle that could be achieved with an updated version of the demo running on the PS5 Pro – it would undoubtedly push the boundaries of what’s possible in gaming.
The early comparisons between the standard PS5 and the PS5 Pro paint a promising picture. As developers optimize their games specifically for the PS5 Pro, we can anticipate even more breathtaking visuals and smoother gameplay. The future of gaming on the PS5 Pro looks incredibly bright.
