The Finals Gets a PS5 Pro Update: What You Need to Know
The widely-known first-person shooter, The Finals, has become the latest title to receive a PS5 Pro patch, ensuring players of Sony’s latest console update smoother game experience. Although Embark Studios, the game’s developer, has not disclosed specific details, the first reviews help to understand what this improvement means.
Better Controls with the PS5 Pro
The Finals came out in December of 2023 and was praised for its game show-like combat system and destructible environment, getting over 10 million players in two weeks. The new PS5 Pro update intends to take advantage of improved hardware to offer a superior experience, even with small changes to the interface.
Preliminary tests show a more stable 60 FPS, but the game does not support 120 FPS yet, which fans of first-person shooters were expecting. Also, there are no graphical extra toggle options for the users to switch between performance or fidelity modes as it is observed in most of the PS5 Pro update games. This has disappointed some players especially given the ability of the console.
Developer’s Vision & Challenges
The PS5 Pro update was revealed by Embark Studios during the 2024 Golden Joystick Awards in honor of the game’s one-year anniversary. But it seems that they divided their attention, as at the same time the team is working on The Finals for PS4, which is expected to be released on December 12, 2024. This dual focus may be one reason why the improvements observed so far in the PS5 Pro upgrade have been relatively small.
The developers’ approach stands in stark contrast to the PS5 Pro that Sony unveiled for itself with a goal of creating graphics at twice the performance. Games like Ratchet & Clank: Both Rift Apart and Marvel’s Spider-Man have demonstrated these features with 4K and enhanced resolution with an AI upscaler. The hope of The Finals fans is that future patches will bring stronger improvements, like these leading titles.
What the PS5 Pro has to offer
Debuted on November 7, 2024, for $700, the PS5 Pro brings hefty improvements such as an improved GPU and Sony’s exclusive PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution. These enhancements are supposed to remove the fidelity vs performance modes toggle on the base PS5 Pro update .
As its collection of Enhanced games increases with titles such as The Finals, the PS5 Pro aims to revolutionize console gaming with graphics that are nearly on par with PCs. Most of the current games are being offered free of charge to improve the graphics and features of the game to suit the new equipment.
Preview of The Finals
While Embark Studios will continue to update The Finals with new content and cross-platform development, players expect more improvements on the PS5 Pro update. Higher rendering speed, graphic customization features, and the possibility to add 120fps compatibility may turn this game into a standout on the new Sony’s platform.
At the same time, The Finals continues to be a fun PvP game that got only improvements from the side of the initial PS5 Pro update and the resulting stability and less buggy gameplay.
