The PS5 Pro “might” get an enhanced version of a critically-acclaimed new game whose developer has revealed that it’s in talks with Sony regarding its next steps. We say “might” because the studio — Saber Interactive — is making no promises, but its engineers are mulling over a potential PS5 Pro patch for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
When to expect Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 PS5 Pro enhanced patch, if it happens
Speaking to IGN, Saber Interactive’s chief creative officer Tim Willits expressed hope that Space Marine 2 will benefit from PS5 Pro’s PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), which offers automatic improvements without the need for a patch.
At the moment, Space Marine 2 suffers from more performance issues on the PS5 compared to Xbox Series X and PC, and Willits admits as much. “What I hope is with the PS5 Pro, with the AI upsampling, that players will be able to play Space Marine 2 in Performance [Speed] Mode, and it’ll look better, hopefully… hopefully, I don’t know — it’ll look better than it does in Quality Mode now,” he said.
Willits added that although Sony is happy with Space Marine 2, Saber’s engineers are in discussion with the PlayStation maker to figure things out. However, he said that the PS5 Pro is still new and so is Space Marine 2, so if an enhanced version happens, it’ll be a while before it’s out.
“We’re just trying to catch up, so we just have to be patient with our official plans,” Willits concluded.
