Toshimasa Aoki, Product Manager for PlayStation, has reconfirmed details on the PS5 Pro Game Boost feature, which was previously mentioned by lead architect Mark Cerny during the console’s announcement a few weeks ago.
PS5 Pro Game Boost is able to vastly improved the performance of more than 8,500 backwards compatible PS4 games, but it’s also able to apply some of its magic to PS5 titles. Specifically, Aoki-san revealed that even if a title is not PS5 Pro Enhanced, then Game Boost can improve things providing the game has unlocked frame rate and resolution.

PS5 Pro has a function called “Game Boost”. Even if it is not a PS5 Pro compatible version, if the game uses a variable refresh rate or variable resolution, it will be able to be displayed more stably even if it is set to a high setting. However, in the case of games that are fixed at 30 FPS, it cannot be supported unless it is unlocked.
The PS5 Pro is scheduled for release on November 7, 2024 for $699.99/£699.99.
