If you are wondering how well the PlayStation VR hardware runs on the new PlayStation 4 Pro console, which is launching in a couple of days, compared to the older and less powerful PlayStation 4 console, you are not alone. Many gamers are curious about whether the upgrade is worth it, especially if they already own a PlayStation VR headset.
You will be pleased to know that the team over at Road 2 VR has run a few tests to help make your decision a little easier. Check out the videos below to see and learn the main differences between the two consoles and whether the extra processing and graphics capabilities of the PlayStation 4 Pro are worth upgrading to if you already have a PlayStation VR headset running on the older console.
Performance Enhancements
The PlayStation 4 Pro boasts a more powerful GPU and CPU compared to the original PlayStation 4. This means that games can run at higher resolutions and with more stable frame rates. For VR, this can translate to a smoother and more immersive experience. The increased power allows for better texture quality, reduced loading times, and overall enhanced visual fidelity. For instance, games like “Resident Evil 7” and “Farpoint” show noticeable improvements in clarity and detail when played on the PS4 Pro.
Visual Improvements
One of the most significant advantages of the PlayStation 4 Pro is its ability to render games at higher resolutions. While the original PS4 can handle VR games at 1080p, the PS4 Pro can push this up to 1440p or even higher in some cases. This results in crisper images and a more detailed environment, which can make a big difference in VR where immersion is key. Additionally, the PS4 Pro supports HDR, which enhances the color range and contrast, making the visuals more vibrant and lifelike.
