A game changer or disappointment?
One of the best RPG Souls games from FromSoftware, Elden Ring has become the main topic of discussion among the gaming community after the release of PS5 Pro.
Gamers are curious to see if this improved console can manage the game’s demanding world with the finesse it requires. Let’s check out more details in this article.
The PS5 Pro Upgrade: A Closer Look
The new PS5 Pro was expected to deliver a stable 60 frames per second (FPS) for Elden Ring with its enhanced GPU performance.
However, current testing and reports indicate that, while there are advances, they are not as revolutionary as one might expect.
Quality Mode
In the quality mode, PS5 Pro targets 4K resolution and the game does hit 60 fps occasionally, but for the most part, it stays near 50s and even drops to 40fps in an intense scene.
This mode highlights the game’s graphic abilities, however, the frame rate is not locked, which can be visible, especially if your display does not support a variable refresh rate (VRR) below 48 FPS.

Performance Mode
This mode uses dynamic resolution scaling to mainly prioritize the frame rate. This mode does provide a better frame rate in Elden Ring, however, it still fails to hit a consistent 60 FPS gameplay. The frame rate sometimes dips, resulting in stutters or hitching, which may annoy players seeking a smooth experience.
Ray Tracing Mode
While this setting improves visual realism, it has a substantial performance impact, especially on the PS5 Pro. Maintaining a high frame rate is difficult, implying that this feature, while enjoyable, should be approached with caution.
Feedback and Conclusion
While many players have appreciated the visual enhancements and some performance boosts, still many are disappointed with PS5 Pro not being able to hit that locked 60fps gameplay.
Technical assessments from sources such as Digital Foundry have confirmed these findings, showing that without a unique PS5 Pro patch from FromSoftware, the console’s boost feature can only do so much.
The new console does enhance the gameplay and graphics of Elden Ring, but it still fell short for those who were expecting more from the console.
For the ultimate Elden Ring experience, high-end PC systems appear to have the upper hand, however, the PS5 Pro remains a formidable challenger for console players. If you’re thinking about getting Elden Ring on PS5 Pro, anticipate a visual treat with generally enhanced performance, but keep your expectations realistic in terms of frame rate consistency.
