Resident Evil 4 Remake PS5 Pro Upgrade
Launched in March 2023, the Resident Evil 4 Remake has turned out exceptionally successful. Just last month, Capcom announced that the Resident Evil 4 Remake surpassed eight million copies sold, making it one of the company’s fastest selling releases. The success of Capcom’s Resident Evil remakes has inspired other publishers to do the same with their legacy horror franchises, such as Konami and its recently released remake of Silent Hill 2. Given Resident Evil 4’s prominence, it comes as no surprise that Capcom has enhanced it for the PS5 Pro.
Joining the ranks of the 50 plus games supporting PS5 Pro at launch, the latest update for the Resident Evil 4 Remake enables its enhancements for players on the upgraded mid generation console. Patch 1.400 is currently available to download for free on PS5 and PS5 Pro, although Capcom has yet to provide an official changelog that explains how the Resident Evil 4 Remake utilizes the new hardware. A prior PlayStation Blog post revealed that the Resident Evil 4 Remake will see higher framerates, ultra-high resolutions, and enhanced visual effects on the PS5 Pro, but concrete details surrounding graphic modes remain unconfirmed.
A recent performance comparison from YouTuber Brazil Pixel between the PS5 and PS5 Pro versions of Resident Evil 4 shows that the remake achieves a locked 60fps at a native 4K (3840×2160) resolution on the new console, that too with ray tracing and hair effects on. The PS5 version of the Resident Evil 4 Remake, meanwhile, hovers around 55fps at the same settings. Brazil Pixel uploaded a separate video where they turned off the Resident Evil 4 Remake’s ray tracing and hair effects and reduced the resolution to 1080p, resulting in the framerate rising to 95-120fps.
Resident Evil 4 Remake received a substantial performance boost thanks to the PS5 Pro’s boosted specs. While performance in the 120fps mode leaves a little stability to be desired, the solid 60fps performance with cranked settings will be more than adequate for many PS5 Pro users.
