Dragon Age: The Veilguard Edition Promises Better Performance on PS5 Pro

The forthcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard edition for the PS5 Pro is set to offer a slew of improvements over the original console release, according to developer BioWare. Detailed insights into these enhancements have been provided on the official EA website.

The technical director has highlighted several key upgrades tailored for the PS5 Pro. These include improved global release schedules and updated system requirements for the desktop version. Performance enhancements are particularly notable, with both Fidelity and Performance modes seeing upgraded resolutions—at 30fps and 60fps, respectively. Additionally, enhanced visual settings will be available across both modes.

For the PS5 Pro version, BioWare is leveraging cutting-edge technology exclusive to Sony's upgraded console. This includes superior image quality via Sony’s AI-driven PSSR and the introduction of Raytraced Ambient Occlusion (RTAO) in the 60fps Performance mode, which was previously restricted to the base PS5's 30fps Fidelity mode.

Players can expect features specifically optimized for the PS5 Pro's hardware, like PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, which significantly enhances image quality. They will also benefit from more demanding technical features like RTAO at higher frame rates, offering a gaming experience on par with high-end PCs.

Nonetheless, it's crucial to manage expectations regarding the game's performance on the PS5 Pro, as there could be variability in its execution despite the advanced capabilities. Fans remain optimistic that BioWare will deliver a game that fully utilizes the potential of this mid-generation console upgrade.
