Now that thePlayStation 5 Prois here, news of developers upgrading their games to take full advantage of the high-powered console’s specs is continuing to roll out. FromStar Wars Jedi: SurvivortoBaldur’s Gate 3, some of the biggest games from the past few years are getting a fresh coat of paint with thePlayStation 5 Pro. Enhanced graphics and performance are to be expected, but when it comes to the console’s 8K resolution support, very few games have yet to jump on board.
This could be becausegaming in 8Krequires specific support. Accessories like high-resolution PC monitors, TVs, and quality hardware can make it a more difficult goal to attain, but 8K resolution can make a game look absolutely stunning if it has the right support. Unsurprisingly, the PS5 Pro offers 8K resolution, and a trio of games have embraced the feature.
Three Games Are Confirmed to Have 8K Support on the PS5 Pro
No Man’s Sky
The most recent game announced to offer support for 8K resolution isNo Man’s Sky. The survival-based space adventure has become a beloved sci-fi epic. Developer Hello Games confirmed8K support forNo Man’s Sky, giving players the option to experience the game at 7680 x 4320 resolution. The frame rate for this mode is locked at 30fps, while the 4K option bumps that up to 60fps. This embrace of 8K support is no surprise, as Hello Games developer Martin Griffiths has voiced his love for the PS5 Pro’s visual capabilities on X. With diverse landscapes playing a huge role inNo Man’s Sky, experiencing this game in a fully supported 8K set-up could bring the title to the next level in terms of appearance.
Hello Games also confirmed thatNo Man’s Skyalso now has cross-save features.
Gran Turismo 7
Another adopter of the PS5 Pro’s 8K support is 2022’sGran Turismo 7. The racing title continues a long-running franchise, and it also seeks to look as sharp as possible when being played on the PS5 Pro. Although the PS5 Pro enhancement has yet to be dropped forGran Turismo 7, it could arrive very soon. Even without the patch, reports from sources like PlayStation Universe are claiming there is already an improvement to the game, as it runs native at 4K resolution with 120fps.Gran Turismo 7was one of the earliesttitles to be confirmed for a PS5 Pro enhancement, and its already-realistic graphics are sure to shine through even more.
F1 24
Continuing the trend of racing games embracing 8K support,F1 24on the PS5 Proalso boasts this high-level resolution. In contrast toGran Turismo 7, though, the enhanced patch forF1 24dropped the day of the PS5 Pro’s launch, so experiencing the game in 8K resolution is now official.
More Games Are Bound to Support the PS5 Pro’s 8K Resolution Feature
Unannounced Titles Waiting in the Wings
As of now, these three games are the only titles confirmed to support 8K resolution on the PS5 Pro. WhileF1 24andGran Turismo 7seek to bring more realism to their graphics, enhancements toNo Man’s Skywill likely breathe more life into its planets. Asmore games release PS5 Pro updates, it’s likely that the list of 8K-supporting titles will grow in the coming weeks and months.
Since the base console’s initial launch in 2020,Sony has sold a mind-blowing 65.5 million units worldwide. Now that the PS5 Pro is part of the equation, it will be fascinating to see how many gamers gravitate toward the beefed-up version of the console.
PlayStation 5 Pro

The graphics card is advertised to offer 67% more compute units than the base PS5, along with 28% faster memory.
