Lies of P Teases PS5 Pro Enhancements

Key Takeaways

  • Lies of P will be enhanced for the PS5 Pro, aiming for 4K resolution in Performance mode.
  • More details about the title’s upgrade for Sony’s new console will be revealed soon.
  • Neowiz is currently working on DLC for Lies of P along with a sequel.

As a dedicated fan who has spent countless hours navigating the treacherous and enigmatic world of Lies of P, I am beyond thrilled to hear about its upcoming enhancement for the PS5 Pro. Having experienced the game’s intricate combat system and haunting narrative on my trusty old console, I can only imagine how breathtaking it will be in 4K resolution.


In 2023, the director of critically acclaimed Soulslike game “Lies of P”, one of the best in its category, has shared additional details about an upgraded version of the game set for release on PlayStation 5 Pro. Known as a standout title among Soulslikes and often hailed as the best non-FromSoftware Souls game released last year, “Lies of P” captivated fans of the genre to such an extent that it earned this distinction. The developers at Neowiz have confirmed they are working on downloadable content for “Lies of P” and are also developing a sequel.

Recently, Sony introduced the PlayStation 5 Pro, a mid-generation upgrade slated for release on November 7. Priced at $699, this new console is $200 more expensive than the original PlayStation 5 that debuted four years ago. The PlayStation 5 Pro boasts features like 2 TB of storage, an upgraded GPU, advanced ray tracing, and additional features. However, some have raised questions about its high price tag. Notably, several prominent games have confirmed they will be optimized for the PS5 Pro, such as Remedy’s “Alan Wake 2”, Capcom’s “Resident Evil Village” and “RE4” remake, “Dragon’s Dogma 2”, Sony’s own “God of War: Ragnarok”, “Gran Turismo 7”, and others. Even upcoming games like “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” and “Dragon Age: The Veilguard” will be optimized for the PS5 Pro upon their release.

Neowiz has verified that “Lies of P” will be among the games optimized exclusively for the PlayStation 5 Pro console. Speaking with Eurogamer, the director of “Lies of P”, Jiwon Choi, disclosed that the PS5 Pro optimization primarily focuses on improving the game’s performance. He mentioned that the Performance mode will allow the game to run at a 4K resolution, while the Quality mode will prioritize a smoother frame rate for better gameplay. Choi added that the precision and fluidity essential for this genre are crucial to the combat experience, and the PS5 Pro’s impressive performance enables them to maintain an optimal frame rate at 4K, ensuring the gameplay remains smooth and reactive as intended.

Lies of P’s Performance Mode to Run at 4K Resolution on PS5 Pro

This is certainly great news for Lies of P fans on console, but Choi refrained from providing the exact numbers of the game’s performance upgrade. Thus, whether Lies of P‘s performance mode will run at 4K60 or 4K120 is yet to be known. It’ll be interesting to see if the PS5 Pro will be able to help Lies of P reach 120 FPS, though such a high frame rate is mostly utilized in more competitive FPS games. The Quality mode’s exact frame rate remains unknown as well, though it likely won’t hit 60FPS. These exact numbers will likely be revealed leading up to the PS5 Pro’s November launch.

In this type of game, having precise controls and seamless movement is crucial for a satisfying gaming experience. Luckily, the top-notch performance of the PS5 Pro allows us to keep a consistent 4K frame rate, making the gameplay feel incredibly smooth and reactive.

Originally slated for a late 2024 debut, it appears that the expansion pack for “The Lies of P” has been delayed until next year. Additionally, whispers suggest that Neowiz’s upcoming sequel, hinted at in the final scenes of “The Lies of P,” may incorporate an open-world environment. Here’s hoping we get more updates on both projects soon to keep fans informed.
