A new patch for Alan Wake 2 on PS5 Pro significantly improves the game’s visuals and performance. The update includes a toggle for the problematic PSSR upscaling, allowing players to switch to FSR2 for potentially sharper visuals.

Key Improvements:

PSSR Toggle: Players can now choose between PSSR and FSR2 upscaling.

Balanced Graphics Mode: A new mode for 120Hz displays targets 40fps, combining high settings with lower resolution.

Noise Reduction: The patch aims to reduce noise, particularly in reflections, though results vary.

Performance Boost: Frame rates are approximately 10 percent higher in demanding scenes.

While some claimed settings tweaks to performance mode aren’t readily apparent, the improved frame rate and upscaling options make the patch a welcome upgrade for PS5 Pro users. The new 40fps balanced mode offers a good middle ground between visual fidelity and performance.

Ultimately, Alan Wake 2 on PS5 Pro now boasts three viable modes: Performance, Quality, and Balanced, each offering a different balance of visuals and frame rate. The patch makes the game a more visually appealing experience.
