Two of Sony's biggest games from last year have got stealthy upgrades if you own the company's latest PlayStation 5 Pro here's what you can expect in Helldivers 2 and Astro BotTech12:39, 21 Feb 2025PS5 Pro is getting easier to recommendEver since it was revealed last year, Sony's PS5 Pro has felt like a tough sell. The PS5 is still a great console, and it's not immediately moving the needle to bigger resolutions like the PS4 Pro did.That being said, it's felt like a great console for future-proofing, with some fantastic games already being updated and more to come with the likes of Monster Hunter Wilds and GTA 6.Still, there have been games missing from Sony's own studios, but the company is seemingly rectifying that with updates for Astro Bot and Helldivers 2, two of its biggest titles of 2024.Astro Bot is adorable and imaginative in equal measure(Image: Team Asobi/Sony Interactive Entertainment)As covered in excruciating detail by the team at Digital Foundry, Astro Bot offers a "constant best resolution" now on PS5 Pro, while running at 60 FPS. The game already ran, well, pretty beautifully when it launched last year, but it now takes advantage of PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution).According to the DF team, the game actually runs at a slightly lower resolution, but there's more detail at the cost of some less impressive screen space reflections.Helldivers 2 was a huge success for Sony(Image: Arrowhead Game Studios/PlayStation Publishing LLC)Over on Helldivers 2, Digital Foundry says it's "significantly improved" on PS5 Pro in performance mode. PS5 Pro players get more stability, with a "perceptible jump in image detail".Performance mode means the PS5 version ran at 1080p, but PS5 Pro will offer a 1440p resolution, but quality mode isn't as night and day. The PS5 Pro still has some frame-pacing issues as it 'brute forces' its way to a 4K resolution.It's commendable that Sony is pushing PS5 Pro updates on its older titles, and these two are some big gaps that needed filling. Here's hoping the likes of Destiny 2 are next.As I said of the PS5 Pro when I first tested it, much of its appeal will come down to the games themselves.Article continues below"There are some huge games slated for 2025, and if titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, Grand Theft Auto VI, or The Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater remake can take advantage of the new hardware, Sony could be onto a winner. Still, it's a tricky proposition to spend so much on the potential of a device, so I'd recommend holding off for now."That recommendation is likely changing, however.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.
