@LastNorth_16 not all PS5 Pro Enhanced games use PSSR (some might offer enhanced visuals or higher frame rates without relying on upscaling or using another method).
However, all games that do use PSSR should in theory be automatically improved by this update.

last time this happened we got CP2077 PS4 version

@Stocksy yeah that's what it sounds like. I'm somewhat interested but 0 console access makes me concerned about the technical side so I'll probably wait and play it later

I'm sure this was said before (not reading all comments, there's too many) but essentially 8/10 being a "major disappointment" is crazy lol

@Nightcrawler71 the game needs to be using PSSR specifically - if it does, the old upscaler gets replaced with the new one
If it never used it in the first place, it can't be forced to do so

@Fizza I saw that and yeah, skull emoji

So far the community is not very happy with this. It does not seem to do much of what they advertise it as.

I am, in fact, buying this on PS5.

The other statement saying nobody's buying a PS5 for this particular game is probably closer to truth though. I wouldn't expect this to be a system seller, Returnal was pretty niche (still one of my favorite games of the past 5 years)

@StrickenBiged I liked it a lot, would recommend

I did not know this was a thing (tbf I never played Fortnite)

I didn't get it because I don't think I can find the kind of time it would need to be at its best - but I did play the server slam a bit and my impressions where very positive.
Looks and sounds incredible, shooting feels great, the gameplay loop seemed fun enough, even though I didn't really get to see that much of it.

If I get this, I'm definitely going balanced mode with VRR - I still don't really know what to expect from this game though lol

Not like I was really looking forward to the next Xbox (considering I never owned one and there's not much that isn't on PS5 anymore) but I'm definitely not going anywhere near a machine running Windows

@Questionable_Duck @LowDefAl true but those weren't new announcements, all of those were already known to be going to PC (DS2 was previously assumed but this was the proper announcement of the port)
fair enough though

@datamonkey As far as Sony publishing goes, there was Death Stranding 2 (which is more Kojima than Sony, even though it is published by them) and the Kena sequel (which is a sequel to an indie game that was on PC). I think that's it.

@MFTWrecks I'm pretty sure this is the exact same controller

@LowDefAl Thanks for the clarification.
As for the unique features, I found this list - most of the games on it are not made or published by Sony.
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_Dualsense_haptic_feedback
AFAIK, the features don't work with PC when using a bluetooth connection (unlike the PS5), hence the included cable in this new "PC Ready" bundle.
You definitely don't need PS Studios games on PC to still want to use a DS controller so I don't think there's much of a correlation between this and the other news.

Worth noting that this was posted on the PS Asia account - and that the PC to console user ration in Asia is much more skewed towards PC.
I think this is just an attempt to sell more hardware (peripherals in this case) in that market and has little to do with their plans regarding game releases. You can use the DualSense with any game and afaik there are games that Sony didn't publish that do support the DS features.

@Rhaoulos Probably just because the studio previously worked on Dead Cells which is one

@PuppetMaster VSF5 case is a bit different because that's a game that was brought back after many years with renewed support about a year ago. Still cool to see though.

Anyway, for anyone interested in the competitive aspect of fighting games (including simple online play, not just tournaments and stuff), getting into the game early rather than waiting for a "complete" edition is usually a better choice. Figuring the game out with the community is fun.
I understand that releasing multiple seasons of DLC can feel like "milking" the fan base but I honestly don't think the old model was outright better. There's nuance.
(Also you can just buy the base game and then only buy the characters you want to play, if any - most games don't force you to buy the entire season pass, let alone all of them)

@PuppetMaster 10 years is wild btw
That being said, Guilty Gear Strive is still being supported 5 years in and it's not unreasonable to expect Tokon to be more popular (Marvel characters should do that alone), so maybe.

@nolifebr Unfortunately this is how it is now and likely how it's going to stay. The upside is that you get a game that keeps evolving and keeps things fresh for years instead of a new game to buy every year or 2.

I played for about an hour - admittedly that's not much but I can see what the game is going for and my initial impression is that it does it mostly well?
I'm not sure if I'd play it much as I don't really spend much time on online shooters but it felt good to play.
Worth noting that I played with a full squad of friends and I can definitely see this being much less appealing solo.

@wildcat_kickz The way I understand it, PSSR is a software library to utilize the PS5 Pro hardware for upscaling - this means a game can theoretically have a newer version linked in its build, while the general system update will allow the console to utilize the new tech in games that have the older version themselves.

@Rich33 idk about "often" but the "disappointing results" usually involve either the upgrade being very minor or PSSR producing visible artifacting (Alan Wake 2 was a good example of this) - those do happen for sure.
I've never regretted getting one though.

@Boxmonkey the PS Beta Program always has the standard NDA as far as I know - they've made explicit exceptions before honestly I don't think it means much in this case

Signed up, didn’t get it

I think anyone who plays this game actively and follows it closely expects news about this at the Arc World Tour finals (that's in 3 weeks).
It would also make the most sense to release it shortly after, probably some time in early to mid April - that way the next tournament season could start on the new version (with EVO Japan as the first qualifier).

GGST still has a very active competitive scene - it may not be anywhere near Street Fighter big but almost 5 years later it's still doing very well.

This is my most anticipated game right now. I loved Control and AW2

I just wanna know if this is actually as good as it looks lol

idk it just doesn't really feel like the PS5 (especially Pro) is old hardware yet at this point, like it did with the PS4.
If a delayed launch means the hardware is more up to date or the price is lower, then yeah, do that. But I guess it could easily mean neither.

Ngl I did not realize the PS5 itself supported ultrawide screens

Idc about when, might not be able to play on the exact release date anyway - I do hope there's a physical deluxe edition or a way to upgrade (like Rift Apart did) though

@Max_the_German I think you get this if you play the test and if you're subscribed while doing so.
PS Plus is not required for the test but I think it is for the full game.

This one of the most anticipated games for me this year. Releasing in August means it will be a main game at Ultimate Fighting Arena in Paris (there's no date for the 2026 edition yet but it's most likely September) and the EU EVO.
Very excited.

The trailer also showed a few things that weren't possible in the beta, and that were a common subject of player feedback - so I guess they are taking that into account, which is great.

@johncalmc I'd say it's on the low end of "a good number". ArcSys tends to make their characters very unique in the way they play so I think it will be fine.
Also the number will double eventually, if the game is successful (which I have little doubt about)

I thought this looked like Burnout with no wheels (the slow motion crashes when you bump into someone)

I expect him to die like 15 minutes in

yea that's Arrowhead (in Sweden), not Housemarque (in Finland)

20 is a good number.
Can't say I expected more but fewer could be disappointing for a team game, I think.

60 is a lot
Looking forward to this

I thought Ultros looked cool, probably will check it out eventually

@Olmaz The character models aren't super detailed, it's obviously a lower budget game, but I watched some streams from the alpha test a while back and the game does look much more fun in actual game than in these trailers.
Haven't played myself but I think it'll be alright.

This is fine, especially if they can improve the PSSR on the Pro in the meantime (which is supposed to be happening soon).
With PC parts prices going up, the power creep is slowing down and this generation will be fine being a bit longer.

Not familiar with this actor but just from the picture looks like a decent pick

I'm 100% checking it out but I'm not sure I'll stick with it in the long run

I only played a demo or beta and thought it was a good looking game with some fun flying and combat mechanics.
I understand that it was lacking in terms of content and mission design though.

This looks great

I remember playing Speedball 2 on my cousin's Amiga 500 in the very early 90s and having a lot of fun with it.
I was not aware there was a new one

I'll check out Epic Mickey, never played it
