Dragon's Dogma 2 Set to Run Significantly Better on PS5 Pro, Early Footage Reveals | Push Square
As we've written about previously, Capcom's managed to improve Dragon's Dogma 2 a lot since its initial launch back in March — but it's looking like PS5 Pro will be the place to play if you want an especially smooth adventure.
Footage of the open world RPG running on Sony's new system has started popping up on YouTube and social media. Unfortunately, we can't really link to the videos here, but they're easy enough to track down with a quick search.
The game's recent patch added specific PS5 Pro graphics settings, and so those who have already snagged the console can dive right in and see what kind of difference the improved hardware (and software) makes.
The bottom line here is that Dragon's Dogma 2 looks to be running at a much more consistent frame rate on PS5 Pro. Based on the clips we've seen, it's hitting a buttery smooth 60 frames-per-second out in the wilderness, and that's with the system's touted PSSR boosting the resolution to 4K. The best of both worlds, it seems.
However, we're yet to see how the Pro handles the game's NPC-ridden areas, like towns and cities. Typically, these are the locations where players experience the biggest dips in frame rate. Dragon's Dogma 2 is infamously demanding in terms of CPU usage, so it'll be interesting to see whether the Pro delivers an obvious improvement.

Much closer to 60fps

A little too much, some might say.
MHW will be similar I suspect, POWER IN PRO BABYYYYY
It's a pretty good news for Monster Hunter Wilds then.
