There has been some industry chatter that in the last week or so about the upcoming high-end (and expensive) PS5 Pro is struggling to find an audience. With many people either happy with their existing current-gen consoles or a gaming PC, there is no real hardware-selling reason to force an upgrade onto you. This has even lead to murmurs that the pre-sale has yet to sell out.
Even with the boosted graphical prowess of the PS5 Pro. Sony’s machine still comes nowhere close to the quality you can get out of a top-of-the-range PC GPU as one modder has shown by taking Sony’s own pride and joy, Ghost of Tsushima, and modding the living daylights out of it to turn it into an 8k cinematic visual feast to rival what we are expecting from the upcoming sequel, Ghost of Yokai next year.
Nobody has any idea of what the PlayStation 6 might be capable of at this stage but that is still years away and goodness knows what the PC will be capable of by then – even if it is just GTA VI being artificially held back to help sell consoles.
YouTuber and modder Digital Dreams set to work on tricking out the ultimate version of Ghost of Tsushima on his GTX 4090 and Ryzen 9 7950x CPU and the results are worth checking out. No, this guy is not running a cheap PC but the visuals and performance he is getting is jaw-dropping as you can see for yourself in the video.
Using raytracing and a Reshade preset, they have managed to get a beautiful-looking game to start with, looking even better, and now that Sony seems comfortable with releasing their biggest titles for the PC (eventually), as long as you have a healthy dose of patience and reasonably large wallet full of disposable income, there is certainly no need to get any FOMO over PlayStation this or PlayStation that.
