Between all of the PS5 Pro upgrades we’ve tested to date, the Resident Evil series enjoys some of the greatest benefits by running on Sony’s new hardware. In order, we have 2017’s Resident Evil 7, the remakes for RE 2 and 3, Resident Evil Village, and most recently Resident Evil 4 Remake. Capcom’s in-house RE Engine forms the technical backbone for all five games, of course, and each one runs as a native PS5 app. Except, there’s often been a catch to their performance delivery on base PS5 – whether it’s using RT features at 60fps in some cases, or enabling a 120Hz HFR mode in others, there’s potential not being totally fulfilled on base hardware. PS5 Pro offers a solution across the board with its increased GPU power and more advanced PSSR upscaling, via which there’s now a genuine means to bridge the gap to those frame-rate targets.
