As we reported earlier this weekend, customers in some countries have received their PS5 Pro consoles early, and are beginning to share some details about the device. We noted that in the supercharged system’s settings, there’s an option to enhance PS4 games – and it hasn’t taken long for a comparison image of Bloodborne to emerge.

It shows the seminal FromSoftware favourite running on a standard PS5 in backwards compatibility, and then compares it to the PS5 Pro with the aforementioned enhance feature enabled.

Stay tuned, though, because there’ll be lots more to learn about the PS5 Pro when it launches next week.
