Digital Foundry has scrutinised Playground Games‘ Forza Horizon 5 for the PS5 Pro, revealing Sony’s high-end console is able to achieve Quality Mode levels of foliage while running in Performance Mode with the higher frame rates that come with that setting.
Oliver Mackenzie had the following to say about the PS5 Pro version of Forza Horizon 5:
The Pro is really where the action is at, specifically in its Performance Mode. Getting Quality Mode foliage at Performance Mode frame rates is a huge bonus for Pro users, and provides a big visual boost over the base machine. It’s likely the base console could have achieved something similar, with a hit to resolution, but this is essentially a compromise-free experience that still typically runs at a full 4K.
