Space Marine 2 Patch 5.0 Adds PS5 Pro Support, New Mission, Customisation Options | Push Square
As promised, Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 is getting a big ol' update in December. Patch 5.0 is adding a new Operation — one of the game's co-op-focused missions — along with new customisation options for coloured helmet lenses, and support for PS5 Pro. Hurrah!
Developer Saber Interactive hadn't made a definitive statement on PS5 Pro up until now, with many a PlayStation player asking whether the highly-rated action-shooter would be getting beefed up on Sony's mid-gen machine.
Basically, Space Marine 2's going to make use of the Pro's PSSR, boosting resolution across both of the game's graphics modes.
The 30 frames-per-second Quality mode will see the maximum resolution jump from 1440p (with an FSR upscale to 4K) to 2160p (with a PSSR upscale to 4K).
Meanwhile, Performance mode will go from a minimum resolution of 720p (ouch!) to 1080p, and a maximum resolution of 1080p to 1440p. However, the big selling point here is that the 60fps Performance mode will also benefit from PSSR, which will attempt to push the image quality to 4K.
Every game with support for Sony's new hardware
We don't have a confirmed launch date for update 5.0 yet, but developer Saber Interactive says that it should be with us in the first half of next month. Patch notes will probably be dropping in the near future.
