Sony has drawn a line for developers that should be invisible to us consumers.

Sony is reportedly pushing PlayStation 5 Pro compatibility on developers.

Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming made this statement in Twitter earlier today:

“All games after Sept 16 will need to support the PS5 Pro”

Good for people who are waiting to play Silent Hill 2 on the pro.

SH2 is unofficially confirmed. PSSR code is in the PC version.

But it's only about compatibility? Doesn't mean that the devs will be forced to prepare a better version for the Pro model.

Could the code for Pro enhancement already be on the disc? Or will it need to be patched?

And water is wet…..

Compatibility? Wouldn't that be every game released since the PS5 launched?

It's still a PS5. I assume every PS5 game is compatible with a PS5.

huh? this has been known for months...and all this means is "all games that work on a PS5 need to work on a PS5 Pro" doesn't mean they will be enhanced for PS5 Pro. It only means they ave to work there.

Yes just compatible not enhanced

Yes we have known this awhile now

I don't think they need to force them.

It sounds extremely easy to implement by all accounts so far.

PS5 Pro 'Very Development Friendly' Even for Small Studios - Report - PlayStation LifeStyle

Expect to see a wide variety of PS5 Pro enhanced games from studios both big and small, if a dev statement is anything to go by.

There were PS4 games that had issues on the PS4 Pro... you just didn't see it for the most part because they got patches.

same policy was in place, but yea theoretically some stuff can slip through. But hopefully Sony's APIs and tools and stuff are better now so that doesn't come up.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Nothing new, this was how the practice was for the last gen mid-gen iterative consoles, too. Both, Sony and MS.

 

[Cakeboxer]

"all games that work on a PS5 need to work on a PS5 Pro" ere.

Why wouldn't they? Would make more sense to me if it was the opposite like S and X.

 

[DeepEnigma]

It's the exact same rules they had in place for the PS4Pro and MS had for the X1X.

With that said, most publishers/devs will incorporate enhancements as they do on the PC. As they did last gen as well.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

I also heard a rumor that all games compatible on PS5 pro will also work on a regular PS5. Should I make a thread?

I've requested for this to be deleted. Sorry, I just woke up. Lol.
