PS5 Pro Owners Say Some Games Look Worse After Upgrades

For a console that arrived earlier this month with a $700 price tag, the PlayStation 5 Pro hasn't been living up to its promise with every PS5 Pro-enhanced game. Players are reporting that multiple games--including Silent Hill 2, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6--actually look worse on PS5 Pro due to several visual issues.

To demonstrate the problems, fans have posted clips and pictures online showing the PS5 Pro enhancements that look more like significant steps backwards for the games in question.

So it turns out some games, like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, aren't showing their best side on the PS5 Pro. Seems like new tech doesn't always mean better visuals for every game. Anyone else experiencing this? #PS5Pro #StarWarsJedi #GamingTech pic.twitter.com/dc4fbdGxAP

Players are also stating that some games on PS5 Pro, including Star Wars Outlaws, no longer have the option to play them in standard PS5 mode. That leaves PS5 Pro owners stuck with the buggy patch and without the ability to play the games as they were originally released.
