Horizon Forbidden West’s PS5 Pro Upscaling: Stunning Visuals

Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Forbidden West boasts impressive visuals on the PS5 Pro, thanks to a custom upscaling solution. This isn’t PSSR; it’s a proprietary technique delivering exceptionally clean image quality.

Performance Pro Mode

The PS5 Pro’s performance pro mode runs at 60fps with a 1440p internal resolution. It features improved subpixel detail, texture clarity, anti-aliasing, and temporal stability. Screen space reflections and depth-of-field effects are also enhanced.

Comparison with Other Modes

While the 30fps resolution pro mode offers slightly sharper visuals, the performance pro mode’s stability and anti-aliasing make it more appealing. A balanced pro mode (40fps) is also available, but the 60fps mode is generally recommended.

Upscaler Comparison

Guerrilla’s upscaler rivals PC’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR 3 in quality. While DLSS handles particle trails better, Guerrilla’s solution excels in water reflections. Compared to FSR, Guerrilla’s method provides cleaner, less blurry results.

Conclusion

Guerrilla’s homegrown upscaling technique is a significant achievement, potentially influencing future titles. The PS5 Pro update showcases the power of custom solutions and demonstrates impressive visual fidelity in Horizon Forbidden West.
