New No Man’s Sky PS5 Pro details reveal 8K support
- No Man’s Sky PS5 Pro improvements are available now
- This includes PSSR support and improved visuals
- An 8K 30fps mode has also been added
Developer Hello Games has revealed some new details about the PlayStation 5 Pro improvements available for No one’s heaven. The patch was secretly shipped as part of the recent ‘The Cursed’ update, meaning those who pre-ordered a PS5 Pro will be able to play it straight away when the console arrives today.
First and foremost, the implementation of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) now allows the game to run at 4K resolution at 60fps, with much smoother performance than on the base PS5 console. No one’s heaven will also be one of the few titles to support 8K resolution, although the frame rate in this display mode will understandably be limited to 30fps.
The PS5 Pro version of the game will also feature dramatically improved visual quality across the board, including improved lighting, ultra-quality reflections, and better ambient occlusion. The developer says this will allow players to “explore the most beautiful and detailed alien worlds No one’s heaven has to offer, for the first time on console”.
It’s also coming to PSVR 2
Judging from some early 8K screenshots, the game looks pretty impressive overall. Surprisingly, these improvements will also come to PSVR 2, which has been quite neglected by many developers lately. This could be a huge bonus for owners of the expensive VR hardware who might not otherwise have too much to play.
No one’s heaven first launched for PS4 in 2016 to a lukewarm reception. Since then, it has received a series of content-rich free updates that have helped make it one of the most comprehensive and detailed space exploration games on the market.
It’s one of 50 games confirmed to have PS5 Pro improvements at launch. Other supported titles include Alan Wake2, Demon souls, Death Island 2And Lies from P.
