PS5 Pro Has One of Its First 8K Games in No Man's Sky | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Sony might not be shipping the PS5 Pro with an 8K logo on its outer packaging, but that doesn't stop a handful of titles from supporting the 7680 x 4320 resolution. Gran Turismo 7 was previously announced as one game with an 8K mode on PS5 Pro, and now Hello Games has added No Man's Sky to the list. At launch, from today, the space explorer can be played in 8K at 30 frames-per-second.

There'll also be a 4K mode running at 60fps through the use of Sony's PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) AI technology, and no matter which mode you pick, PS5 Pro will deliver better «graphical quality across the board». Hello Games notes that PS5 Pro users can expect «improved lighting, with ultra quality reflections and higher quality ambient occlusion». Interestingly, these improvements will also all carry over to the PSVR2 version of No Man's Sky.

Here's a selection of No Man's Sky screenshots in 8K:

Alongside the PS5 Pro features, the game's latest patch also brings a universal cross-save feature. You will be able to upload your save to a server, and then download it to continue your progress on another platform. «Adding Cross-Save for us is a little bit like moving house, the longer people have lived there the more complicated it is to move them! We also have players who played once at launch, eight years ago, suddenly loading up that save on a platform that didn’t even exist back then!»

The feature will start off with a small number of players, and then it expands to everyone in the coming weeks. You can sign up for cross-save through the link.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

Off topic but I managed to snag a disc drive from Very if anyone in the UK is still looking.

Cross save will finally make my Switch version of the game have some worth.

No Man's Sky is just insane.
