Every PS5 Pro Game with 8K Mode Support Explained

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I must say that the arrival of the PlayStation 5 Pro has sent me into a frenzy of excitement! The prospect of playing some of my favorite games like No Man’s Sky, Gran Turismo 7, and F1 24 at an astounding 8K resolution is nothing short of a dream come true.


With the arrival of the enhanced PlayStation 5 Pro, we’re seeing more and more developers updating their games to make the most of this powerful console’s capabilities. Games like “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor” and “Baldur’s Gate 3”, among others from recent years, are being revitalized for the PlayStation 5 Pro. These titles will likely boast improved visuals and performance, but so far, only a few games have begun to tap into the console’s 8K resolution potential.

As an enthusiast, I’ve come to realize that playing games in 8K isn’t just a casual endeavor. It demands specialized equipment such as high-resolution PC monitors, TVs, and robust hardware. Achieving this goal can be challenging, but the visual splendor of an 8K resolution is truly breathtaking when backed by the right support. Interestingly, the PS5 Pro offers exactly that, boasting 8K resolution. Remarkably, a handful of games have already taken advantage of this feature, making my gaming experience even more captivating.

Three Games Are Confirmed to Have 8K Support on the PS5 Pro

No Man’s Sky

The latest game confirmed to support 8K resolution is “No Man’s Sky”, a cherished survival-based space adventure that has grown into a captivating sci-fi epic. Developers at Hello Games have announced 8K support for “No Man’s Sky”, allowing players the choice to play the game in 7680 x 4320 resolution. The frame rate for this mode is set at 30fps, while the 4K option offers a smoother 60fps. Given Martin Griffiths’ admiration for the PS5 Pro’s visual prowess, it’s no wonder that “No Man’s Sky” will take advantage of 8K support on compatible set-ups, potentially elevating the game’s visual appeal with its diverse landscapes.

Gran Turismo 7

As a proud owner of the PlayStation 5 Pro, I’m thrilled to share that the high-definition racing title, Gran Turismo 7, is set to leverage the console’s 8K capabilities in 2022. Known for its long-standing legacy, this game strives to maintain an exceptionally sharp visual appeal on the PlayStation 5 Pro. Although the PS5 Pro enhancement for Gran Turismo 7 hasn’t been released yet, whispers from trusted sources like PlayStation Universe suggest it may arrive soon. Even without the patch, there’s already a noticeable improvement in the game, as it runs natively at 4K resolution with a smooth 120fps frame rate. Gran Turismo 7, one of the first titles confirmed for PS5 Pro enhancement, is expected to showcase its stunning graphics even more vividly once the upgrade arrives.

F1 24

Moving with the flow of racing games offering 8K compatibility, the PS5 Pro version of F1 24 is no exception, boasting this top-tier resolution. Unlike Gran Turismo 7, however, the 8K update for F1 24 was available on the PS5 Pro’s launch day, making it officially playable in 8K resolution.

  • F1 24 runs native at 4K resolution and a frame rate of 120fps.
  • In order to reach 8K at 60fps, F1 24 utilizes the PS5 Pro’s highly-anticipated PSSR.

Unannounced Titles Waiting in the Wings

Currently, only three games – F1 24, Gran Turismo 7, and No Man’s Sky – have been confirmed to offer 8K resolution on the PS5 Pro. While F1 24 and Gran Turismo 7 are striving for greater graphical realism, updates for No Man’s Sky may infuse more liveliness into its planets. As additional games receive PS5 Pro updates in the near future, expect the list of 8K-compatible titles to expand over the next few weeks and months.

Ever since the global release of the base PlayStation 5 in 2020, Sony has astonishingly managed to sell approximately 65.5 million units across the globe. With the addition of the PS5 Pro to their lineup, it promises an intriguing spectacle as we observe how many players opt for this upgraded console variant.
