These 2 games run worse on PS5 Pro than on the base console, but the devs are already working on it
Both Silent Hill 2 Remake and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor are having some pretty bad issues on PlayStation 5 Pro, with the “upgraded” versions running worse than on a regular PS5.
The launch of PS5 Pro has mostly brought with it upgrades to a long list of titles optimized for the console refresh. But for a few games, perhaps the verb “optimize” is not the most correct term, because they work worse on the most powerful model of Sony’s console than on the base model. Players have complained about the state of Silent Hill 2 Remake and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, both advertised as “Enhanced on PS5 Pro” titles.
As of right now, neither Konami nor Bloober Team have publicly addressed the errors, but the Polish studio has finally broken its silence. Electronic Arts has also done the same, which indicates that they are already in vestigating what went wrong.’
With five nominations for The Game Awards 2024, a user congratulated Bloober Team for this success. In that same X thread, another player asked if the studio is aware of the problems with Silent Hill 2 Remake on PS5 Pro, to which the studio responded as follows: “We are working on it!” Something similar happened with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Through the official EA Star Wars account, the studio has announced: “We are aware of the issues with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on PlayStation 5 Pro and are actively investigating them.”
Graphics suffer on PS5 Pro
In neither case is it mentioned when an update that corrects the errors will be published, although at least they are already working on it. According to Digital Foundry, these visual errors are mainly due to the use of PSSR, the resolution upscaling technology used by PS5 Pro. Poor optimization causes flickering, instability, and poorer image quality. However, Silent Hill 2 Remake also presents inconsistencies related to Lumen GI, which contribute to destabilizing the graphics.
