Space Marine 2 Dev Comments on PS5 Pro Potential

Key Takeaways

  • PS5 Pro’s AI upscaling and PSSR feature could enhance Space Marine 2‘s graphics and frame rates.
  • Studio’s CCO optimistic about PS5 Pro’s performance with hopes for higher frame rates.
  • PS5 Pro’s potential for increased graphical capabilities may make Space Marine 2 look better than ever.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the prospect of playing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 on the PS5 Pro has me absolutely thrilled! The potential for enhanced graphics and smoother gameplay is tantalizing, especially given the impressive performance promises from Sony’s latest console.


In 2024, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is one of the highly anticipated games, and it appears that its future looks promising, especially on the PlayStation 5 Pro. Space Marine 2 already boasts impressive graphics, but fans anticipate that the advanced features of the PS5 Pro will significantly enhance the game’s visual quality.

The latest offering from Sony, the PS5 Pro, is set to hit shelves on November 7. It boasts advanced technology such as AI-enhanced graphics and frame rates scaling. Sony has touted it as providing the “most visually stunning” gaming experience on PlayStation. Yet, some fans and developers have voiced apprehensions about its steep price tag and absence of a disc drive for physical media. On the other hand, some developers remain hopeful about the PS5 Pro.

In a chat with IGN, the studio’s top creative mind, Tim Willits, shared his enthusiasm about the game’s potential performance on the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro. He highlighted the frame rates and the new PSSR feature as key aspects, but what truly excites him is the AI-enhanced graphics upscaling. He owns a powerful AMD computer and finds the game visually stunning. However, when he plays on the PS5, he prioritizes performance over visual quality.

Space Marine 2 Could Be Taken To The Next Level With PSSR

In summary, while both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 aim for the same settings and resolution, the Xbox Series X tends to run about 10-15 frames per second faster. This difference is more pronounced in demanding scenes like heavy enemy encounters or using a flamethrower. On the other hand, it’s anticipated that the PS5 Pro’s PSSR frame generation technology will boost frame rates substantially, without any visible decrease in quality or resolution.

Despite not being a tech expert, Willits shared his optimism that Space Marine 2 will appear more visually appealing in the Performance Mode of the PS5 Pro compared to the current console’s Quality mode. The enhanced GPU of the PS5 Pro will boost the console’s graphical capabilities, potentially resulting in an improved look for Space Marine 2 when combined with the higher frame rates of PSSR. However, at this time, there are no announced plans to add the game to the list of PS5 Pro Enhanced titles.

The sequel to Space Marine, titled “Space Marine 2,” continues to thrive, with downloadable content (DLC) and significant updates on the horizon. Rest assured, developers are pulling out all stops to keep the game at the cutting edge of graphics and performance technology. However, whether these improvements will significantly impact players’ experience is yet to be determined, given that Space Marine 2 is already selling robustly worldwide and receiving generally favorable reviews.
