Digital Foundry has recently shared an in-depth video analyzing their experience with Stellar Blade on the PS5 Pro. The team was clearly impressed, calling it “one of the best upgrades we’ve seen.”
If you have a few minutes, you might want to check out the nearly 13-minute video for a thorough breakdown. They wrap things up with some high praise for Stellar Blade’s performance on the PS5 Pro:
“This is a stellar example of how PSSR can be executed effectively. Unlike some other games that have struggled with PSSR, Shift Up has shown exactly the right approach. They’ve crafted a game that is not only visually stunning but also runs more smoothly than ever. And the timing couldn’t be better, as a new update launched shortly after the Pro patch. This update brings in fresh features, plus an exciting crossover between Stellar Blade and Nier Automata.”
