Is the PS5 PRO an utterly useless device at launch? Reviews are out now.

I tried Horizon FW in Performance pro mode.

Locked 60 fps, very smooth, flawless picture, no shimmering anywhere. Night and day difference with the release version that gave me migraines. I started the Burning Shores DLC after an hour trying to get along with the controls again. It's so hard getting back into a game with 1000 options. I set it to story mode, can't be bothered to relearn all the systems again. Hack and slash works fine at 60fps!

Burning shores looks amazing. Now I truly think it can't get much better. One day this level of detail will be in VR!
(The contrast with a screenshot of Metro Awakening is shocking)

Not sure how to get screenshots of the pro now, no USB port on the front, can't really go fishing with a USB stick behind the pro... Guess I need to buy USB-C sticks. Tried via PSApp in Bluestacks but no longer compatible and the update isn't working (so slow) Yay progress :/

I played the Burning Shores DLC some days ago (on a base PS5) and had no problem at all coming back to it.

It also looks gorgeus on the PS5.

I did enjoy Frozen Wilds quite a bit more than it, tho.
