PS5 Pro Speeds Up Naraka: Bladepoint, But How Good is Its Graphics?

The new PS5 Pro console has been making waves, and one of the games to benefit from its power is Naraka: Bladepoint. Yongcheng Liu, the Console Version Producer from NetEase ThunderFire Universe X Studio, shared some exciting news about the game's performance on the new console. According to Liu, the PS5 Pro runs Naraka: Bladepoint twice as fast as the regular PS5. This is a significant boost for the popular free-to-play battle royale game. Liu also highlighted the new PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) feature. He believes it offers visual quality similar to NVIDIA DLSS, which is currently the benchmark for AI upscaling. However, there may be minor differences in small details. The GPU upgrade in the PS5 Pro is a big deal for Naraka: Bladepoint, as it doubles the game's performance. Liu is particularly impressed with PSSR and Variable Rate Shading (VRS), which can reduce rendering time in the game.

The PS5 Pro allows the game to run at 4K 60FPS without upscaling, which isn't possible on the regular PS5. In balanced mode with PSSR, the game offers better visual quality compared to other upscaling methods on the PS5 while maintaining a stable frame rate. However, high-end PCs still have an edge due to CPU bottlenecks in the game. Naraka: Bladepoint on the PS5 Pro has three modes: Quality, Balanced, and Frame Rate. Each mode caters to different needs, whether it's better visuals, a balance between visuals and smoothness, or higher frame rates. The use of PSSR in the game aims to ensure that players don't notice significant differences during gameplay. The PS5 Pro's pricing has been a topic of debate. Liu hopes that the high price doesn't deter players from enjoying the game. The studio will continue to support both the PS5 and PS5 Pro versions to ensure a great experience for all players.
