While gamers are eager for the release of the PS5 Pro, Sony has just published the list of 55 games optimized for its new console.
After several months of rumors, the PS5 Pro is finally available to gamers around the world this Thursday, November 7, 2024. At first glance similar to its twin, the base PS5, Sony’s new console looks like a high-end model .
With the PS5 Pro the Japanese multinational promises 45% more powerful graphics performance. Many improvements will also be available: Ray Tracing, better fluidity thanks to artificial intelligence, advanced technologies such as Game Boost… The console presents itself as a compendium of new technologies that will improve the gaming experience and player immersion.
Which games are optimized for this new console?
However, some similarities unite the PS5 Pro and its younger sibling, particularly the game catalogue. The same titles will run on both and no exclusivity will be reserved for the latest Sony model.
To respond to the graphics improvements of the PS5 Pro, Sony has just revealed the list of games optimized specifically for the occasion. These will benefit from better realism, greater fluidity and advanced ray tracing, which will give a boost to the players’ session.

Big absentees who raise questions
The community, satisfied with seeing their favorite games optimized for PS5 Pro, cannot help but notice some absences. There is a lack of great titles, even if they are highly appreciated by fans. This is the case of Final Fantasy XVI, or even Gran Turismo 7.
Fortunately for those who are more concerned, the list presented above is perhaps not definitive! Sony specifies on its website that ”many other” titles will be added to the 55 nominated. In the meantime, the catalog offered remains large enough to allow PS5 Pro players to keep busy for several months.
Interview Between Time.News Editor and Gaming Expert
Time.News Editor (TNE): Welcome! We are thrilled to have you here today as we discuss the highly anticipated release of the PS5 Pro and its newly optimized game lineup. Thank you for joining us!
Gaming Expert (GE): Thank you for having me! It’s an exciting time for gamers, and I’m eager to dive into the details.
TNE: Let’s get right into it. The PS5 Pro launches this November, and Sony has announced that it will support 55 optimized games. What do you think this means for the gaming community?
GE: The PS5 Pro is a significant leap, especially with its 45% increase in graphics performance. For gamers, this means smoother gameplay, better graphics, and a more immersive experience overall. The optimization of existing titles signals that Sony is invested in enhancing the games players already love, rather than pushing exclusive titles on the new console.
TNE: That’s a great point! The optimization includes features like Ray Tracing and AI-driven enhancements. How do you think these technologies will impact gameplay?
GE: Ray Tracing will elevate the visual realism of games dramatically. It simulates how light behaves in the real world, resulting in more authentic reflections and shadows. AI enhancements improve game fluidity, meaning players will experience less lag and more responsiveness. Together, these technologies can transport players deeper into the game worlds.
TNE: You mentioned the list of optimized games released by Sony. Are there any titles on that list that you think will particularly shine on the PS5 Pro?
GE: Oh, absolutely! Titles like Demon Souls and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are going to look stunning with the upgraded graphics and effects. Also, popular games like Fortnite and God of War Ragnarök will benefit from the new capabilities, making them even more engaging for fans.
TNE: Many gamers are curious about whether any exclusive titles will be available for the PS5 Pro. What can you share about that?
GE: As of now, it seems that Sony is focusing on enhancing the existing catalog rather than introducing exclusives. That’s a smart move as it means players with the original PS5 won’t miss out on beloved titles. The emphasis appears to be on making the gaming experience universally better across their platforms.
TNE: That’s reassuring for many fans! With both the PS5 and the PS5 Pro sharing a catalog, do you think there’s a strategic reason behind this decision?
GE: Definitely. By not fragmenting their audience, Sony ensures that the PS5 Pro is an appealing upgrade for serious gamers while still attracting new gamers looking for quality experiences. Maintaining a unified catalog helps to foster a larger, more engaged community.
TNE: As always, there are new competitors entering the gaming space. In your opinion, how will the PS5 Pro stand up against rival consoles in the coming years?
GE: The PS5 Pro positions itself strongly with its graphical capabilities and technology enhancements. As long as Sony continues to support developers while providing a robust lineup of optimized games, it should maintain a competitive edge. However, staying proactive and innovative will be key, as competitors will surely look to challenge that dominance.
TNE: With all this talk about technological advancements, do you think there’s a limit to how powerful consoles like the PS5 Pro can get?
GE: There’s always a technological limit based on current technology and market needs. However, innovation is happening rapidly. As we see advances in cloud gaming and hardware capabilities, consoles will continue to evolve. The focus will shift to optimizing the gaming experience rather than just sheer power.
TNE: Thank you for sharing your insights! It sounds like the PS5 Pro has a lot to offer both gamers and developers alike.
GE: Absolutely, it’s an exciting time to be a gamer. I’m looking forward to seeing how players enjoy the optimized experiences that come with the PS5 Pro!
TNE: Thank you for joining us today and providing such valuable information! We’re looking forward to the release and the new gaming experiences ahead.
GE: Thank you for having me! It’s been a pleasure discussing these developments with you.
