Diablo 4 has become the first Microsoft game confirmed to support Sony’s PlayStation 5 Pro “Pro Enhanced Features”, marking an important collaboration between the two major gaming platforms.

Although PlayStation 5 Pro has been controversial since its release because of its high price of $700, many users who have already obtained it have experienced significant performance improvements and believe that the investment is worth it.

With the news that Diablo 4 has been enhanced on PlayStation 5 Pro, more players have begun to show great interest in this mid-range console. Although Sony fans are not completely satisfied with the launch of PlayStation 5 Pro, it does not mean that fans will not appreciate the enhanced graphics provided by Diablo 4 in Sanctuary.

Diablo senior Vice President and General Manager Rod Fergusson posted a post on the social media platform, which attracted widespread attention. Fergusson said in the post: “I have been asked this question frequently recently, and I am happy to say that Diablo 4 and Vessel of Hatred will indeed get PS5 Pro Enhanced!” This news undoubtedly made many players excited.

And according to his post, more details will be revealed later, but many fans are eager to know the exact release date. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the console’s enhanced features when playing Diablo 4.

Diablo 4 Is Coming To PS5 Pro

While “Pro Enhanced Features” have not been officially implemented in the game as of now, they are expected to be added to the game through an upcoming patch update. The official PSN store page has announced that the game will support “Pro Enhanced”, however, there are reports that in some cases, when players enable this setting, performance has actually decreased.

When players visit Diablo 4 page on the official PlayStation Store, you will see that the game description claims to support “PS5 Pro Enhanced”.

However, most players who recently obtained a PlayStation 5 Pro and tried the enhanced mode reported that when they enabled the so-called “Enhanced Pro” setting, not only did they not experience the expected performance increase, but they also found that the frame rate dropped to around 30fps.

This situation is in stark contrast to the official propaganda, leading many players to suspect that the developer may not have completed the work on “PS5 Pro Enhanced”, but used this part as a placeholder, planning to actually implement it as an update patch in the future.

Despite some controversy, many players have pointed out that the performance and graphics performance of Diablo 4 have indeed improved when running it in normal mode. These players reported that in normal mode, the game’s frame rate can be stabilized at around 60fps, and the quality of details and textures in the game has also been significantly improved, making completing challenges and accumulating Diablo 4 Gold much more enjoyable.

The development team previously promised that the game will introduce a series of advanced image processing technologies on the PS5 Pro, including “dynamic reflection and refraction” and AI-powered image upscaler to further enhance the visual effects. In addition, some players are dissatisfied with Xbox platform being ignored, and they also hope to see optimized versions of these games on Xbox Series X.

Sony Fans Are Not Favoring PlayStation 5 Pro

With several existing games like Hogwarts Legacy and Last of Us Part 2 being enhanced for PlayStation 5 Pro, players are excited about the addition of new content. However, despite the enhanced features that bring more gaming experience, the high price still makes fans unhappy. Considering that the cost of PlayStation 5 Pro may be as high as $700, this dissatisfaction is not surprising.

Here, the development team announced that PS5 Pro enhancements will be launched for Diablo 4. Although it is not clear what specific improvements this enhancement will bring, considering the reputation of Diablo 4 development team in game development, many players may be inclined to get it.

Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred was officially launched on October 8. However, players are not sure whether this marks the beginning of Microsoft’s games gradually being supported by Sony’s high-end game console. But for me personally, I am very much looking forward to seeing more games enhanced for PS5 Pro.

I like to play games with friends who have upgraded or plan to upgrade, so I think this will be an excellent opportunity to experience a higher quality gaming experience.

However, only time will tell whether more existing games will come to PlayStation 5 Pro. Although the high price is a factor to consider, whether it is worth getting it ultimately depends on players’ preferences for games and their needs for PS5 Pro.

As more details about “Pro Enhanced Features” are gradually released, players will better evaluate whether this enhancement is worth your time and money. Regardless of the final result, this collaboration between Microsoft and Sony marks a major step forward for the gaming industry. For those of us who love games, this is an exciting time, full of endless possibilities and opportunities to explore.
