How to Tell Whether a PS5 Game Is Enhanced for PS5 Pro

Use PlayStation Store’s PS5 Pro Enhanced collection to check a game, then review its listing for title-specific frame-rate, image-quality, ray-tracing, and PSSR details.

Open the PlayStation Store and go to Collections → PS5 Pro Enhanced. That official collection is the clearest way to check which games are listed as enhanced; you can also search the Store for “PS5 Pro.” Check the individual game’s Store listing for details, because “PS5 Pro Enhanced” does not mean every title gets the same upgrades.

Find the official PS5 Pro Enhanced collection

  1. Open the PlayStation Store.
  2. Choose Collections, then select the PS5 Pro Enhanced banner.
  3. To look up a specific title, search the Store for the game name and “PS5 Pro,” or search for “PS5 Pro” to find enhanced games.

The collection is a live catalog, not a permanent printed list. Its cited listing is for the US Store, so check your own regional Store for current inclusion and availability.

What the PS5 Pro Enhanced label does—and does not—tell you

Sony says PS5 Pro can play all PS5 games, while Pro-enhanced features are available only in select titles and vary by game. A game running on a PS5 Pro therefore does not, by itself, show that it has a particular Pro enhancement. Confirm the title in the collection or check its PlayStation Store listing.

Depending on the game, enhancements may include higher or more stable frame rates, improved image quality, ray tracing, or AI-assisted upscaling with PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). The label is not a guarantee of a particular resolution, frame rate, or combination of features.

How to compare the enhancements in two games

Use each game’s Store description and developer notes to compare its specific Pro mode. Look for the stated target frame rate, resolution or image-quality target, ray-tracing features, PSSR use, and any display requirements. These are separate measures; “enhanced” alone does not establish that one game will look or run better than another on every setup.

Sony’s launch-period examples illustrate why the details matter. Guerrilla said the PS5 Pro version of Horizon Forbidden West could deliver visual quality matching or surpassing the standard PS5’s Quality mode at 60 FPS. Naughty Dog described a Pro-specific mode rendering at 1440p and upscaling to 4K with PSSR while targeting 60 fps. Those are title-specific implementations, not a shared specification for all enhanced games.

Why older lists may disagree with the Store

Sony announced more than 50 PS5 Pro-enhanced launch titles in November 2024. That was a launch sample, not a current total. The Store’s collection changes over time, and Sony’s dynamic listing does not provide a dependable permanent count; use the current collection rather than treating the launch figure as today’s catalog size.

Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
