Space Marine 2 devs “hopeful” PS5 Pro will surpass Quality Mode with higher performance
Since thePS5 Pro was announced, fans have been eagerly awaiting its promised performance increases and graphical revamp thanks to the console’s many hardware upgrades. Along with this, plenty of games were promised an improvement – but one more looks like it’s being added to the list.
In aninterview with IGN, Saber Interactive CCO Tim Willits explained how he hopes thatSpace Marine 2will be able to thrive on thePS5 Prothanks to its promised AI upscaling (otherwise known as PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) as part of the hardware upgrade.
Speaking with IGN, Willits added: “So what I hope — and it’s just me, I don’t know anything technical — but what I hope is with the PS5 Pro, with the AI upsampling, that players will be able to play Space Marine 2 in Performance [Speed] Mode, and it’ll look better, hopefully — hopefully, I don’t know — it’ll look better than it does in Quality Mode now.”
So, while it’s not confirmed by either Sony or Saber Interactive, it’s likely thatSpace Marine 2will greatly benefit from the AI upscaling, both in its performance and its graphical design.
Currently, in its console form, Xbox and PlayStation players can choose between two modes: Quality, which increases the resolution but drops to 30fps, and Speed, which drops the graphics a little but ensures the game runs at 60fps.
Tim Willits hopes that the PS5 Pro will find the perfect balance between the two modes, meaning players can enjoy battling Tyranids at 60fps, while also ensuring the game will “look better than it does in Quality Mode now.”
