Episode notes
PS5 Pro Is Marginal-Upgrade Strategy
- The PS5 Pro is pitched as marginal GPU, ray-tracing, and AI-upscaling upgrades rather than a generational leap.
- It aims to blend quality and performance modes so more games hit higher fidelity without full rewrites.
Engine Limits Constrain Visual Gains
- Many current games were built on older engines and can't fully exploit new console hardware without rebuilding.
- That limits how obvious Pro-only gains will be until studios ship new, high-end-first titles.
Buy Pro Only For Longevity Or Fidelity
- Expect the PS5 Pro to extend the life of your generation if you want headroom before PS6.
- Consider buying Pro only if you value consistent higher fidelity or plan to keep the console later into the cycle.
