    TSW6 is listed in the Upgraded for PS5 Pro section on the PS5 store.

    What are the upgrades from standard PS5?

    AFAIK, TSW6 doesn't have the PS5 Pro enhancements

    It says Enhanced for PS5 Pro.

    What do they mean by that?

    Well it's there on the PS5 Pro part of the PS Store.

    Yeah I think it’s an error on the PSN store. I asked this question before.
    Although no one from DTG official staff gave me a response, so it could be hearsay from community members. Personally though, it doesn’t look PS5 Pro enhanced. I do notice some noticeable FPS improvements though.

    TBH not sure what you would gain by using a PS5 Pro, technically speaking it has the option for an extra 2gb of RAM as Sony added a 2gb ram buffer designed to run the operating system, theoretically allowing TSW to use the full 16gb (still split between VRAM and actual RAM) but it still suffers the same problem as all the other consoles, that is insufficient RAM.

    Train Sim World 6 is no PS5 Pro Enhanced, so not sure how it got put in this list. We've republished the game and hopefully that will fix things. If it's still an issue in 24h hours we will follow up with PlayStation. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused!

    False advertisement, that's why it's there

    Just to put it out there, I'm sure it's not for everyone... But if DTG did ever consider an enhanced version that makes use of any extra power, I'd be willing to upgrade and fork out for a PS5 Pro. However, unfortunately I feel I'd be very much in the minority.

    Doesn't even need much of an enhancement, as the PS5 pro has an extra 1.2GB of RAM available for games.

    So if the game recognises the console, cannot see why they cannot increase the size of texture pool.

    At least then some of us don't have a game that looks like a dogs breakfast because of blurry textures

    Not to mention that the snails pace DTG are currently working at, the PS6 will be here first before they even fix even one route

    I suppose that's the conundrum, if DTG did ever do a PS5 enhancement would it be worth A) Upgrading to the PS5 Pro, or B) Wait until PS6 (and next generation consoles) come out and see what they have to offer over the previous generation.

    God know what the new generation is going to be like RAM wise with everyone and there dog buying up all the RAM for AI datacentres and the like, let alone how much there going to charge for it, the PS5 Pro is already a rip off for what you get.

    The PS5 Pro would need to take advantage of the PSSR upscaling technology. The PC version doesn’t support upscaling tech like FSR or DLSS so not surprised to see a Pro version of TSW yet.

    It’s not a big upgrade, but still an upgrade even if it’s minimal. For instance there are a lot of older PS5 games I can run with RT on and in quality mode whilst maintaining 60fps, as opposed to running the same settings on the standard PS5 and only getting 30fps. Resident evil 2 & 3 Remakes are a good example of this.

    It all depends on how much of a gamer you’re and if you want your games to look better. I buy a lot of new games, so I want to take advantage of the PSSR tech the pro offers. If you’re mainly using your console for just simulation games then it wouldn’t be worth it.
    Microsoft flight sim 24 is the only sim that I’m aware of that takes advantage of PSSR, it increases the fps from 30 to 40fps and small graphical enhancements. I’d still prefer to play like this on PC though since it’s very demanding GPU, CPU wise… which I do.

    Could very well be the case.

    If I were to put money on it, my guess is that TSW7 will be Pro enhanced. Hell, it might even be why the mix up happened with TSW6 being put in the Pro store section

    DTG must have done something to cause this issue as it wasn't just TSW that was affected. DTG'S Thomas game also had the Pro label attached but that seems to have disappeared as well

    Cannot believe that Sony just gave both DTG's games pro upgrades without something going on

    It’s never going to be, nor did TSW have PS4 Pro versions. Hell, there’s not even FSR or DLSS upscaling on PC.

    This comes up once a month, but this is an issue on Sony’s side (similar to the issue XBox has for their X/S enhanced games when they launched those).

    There are a bunch of games listed as PS5 Pro Enhanced when they aren’t, so it’s nothing DTG did on their side. Thinking of College Football 25 and 26 as an example as neither are PS5 Pro Enhanced but are listed as such.

    I've had the base ps5 and now on the pro. There is no difference what so ever. Both consoles suffer from bad performance because of dtg laziness. Only the Medway valley route is the first fully optimized route which is a joy to play.

    You seem to be under the illusion that to be PS5 Pro enhanced you need to make use of PSSR

    You dont.

    There are alot of games that are pro enhanced without PSSR and that includes some of the games that Sony themselves publish

    It's simply recognising the model and some sort of differences from the base PS5. Sometimes those differences are actually quite minor.

    That’s incorrect. PS5 Pro Enhanced games use PSSR by default, although there is an option in the menu’s to turn of PSSR support.

    What PS5 Pro Enhanced games don’t use PSSR? Name some.

    All Sony exclusive titles that have launched since the release of PS5 Pro offer PSSR support. PS4 era games obviously won’t, if that’s what you’re implying?

    Again by default PSSR v1 or v2 improves graphic fidelity and FPS, so whether a Pro enhanced games features are less noticeable on the said game compared to another one, it doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
    I’ve been using the Pro since day so I’ve researched this thoroughly.

    Wrong on so many ways

    For a start there is no option to turn off PSSR in the consoles menu's. The option is to stop PSSR 2.0 being used on games that had the original release of PSSR to stop any compatibility issues.

    Some games have the option to switch between PSSR and other means of upscaling but these games pretty much were released before the Pro was released. Now with PSSR 2 those options are pretty irrelevant

    As for Sony games, both Horizon games use Pico not PSSR, same as Sony published Death Stranding 2 (all the same game engine). The main updates. other than it's upscaler, on all of those games tend to be upgrades to lighting

    I have also been using the Pro since day one and it would seem you need to do more research

    EDIT. Death Stranding 2 may seem to be using both PICO and PSSR with the latter being a stealth dropped in for the performance mode

    Again complete nonsense. A lot of games are now receiving PSSR2 support and more games we follow in the coming months throughout the PS5 Pro life cycle. This in your eyes it is irrelevant, okay.
    PSSR2 does the work through its Ai processing, nothing to do with the actual game developers. Sony are doing the heavy lifting here.
    IMG_3307.jpeg
    So three games out of roughly 300 Pro enhanced use the game developers own upscaling tech. 98% of the all games on the PS5 Pro use PSSR/PSSRv2

    For your info I own both the PS5 base and Pro and I compare games quite frequently that I buy and support PSSR. I bet I own more games than you. Tried checking your PSN to see what games you play but it’s locked up tighter then fregie’s knicker draw.[/QUOTE]

    You need to stop using AI

    That option is for the new algorithm PSSR 2 to be used on older PSSR implemented games. So untick it and you still get PSSR

    Go and untick that box and see for yourself what happens in games such as FFVII rebirth and Alan Wake 2 etc (hint the older version is used)

    Also you need to stop shifting your argument, when you fail in the arguments you make

    You asked for Sony games which are PS5 pro enhanced and I gave you those games. Shifting your argument to 300 games total regardless of who publishes and pretending I can name only 3 is pretty pathetic, not to mention that its pretty much a strawman argument.

    For a start there are several other games from MS that dont use PSSR though still Pro enhanced.

    Yes more games will use it rather than leave it, especially now that v2 is here but your statement saying games need to use pssr to be enhanced is plain wrong.

    Hell Sony themselves said it so are they wrong too in your world

    I haven’t shifted my argument. The way you said it was the majority of games do use pico and I debunked that. 3 games out of 300 isn’t a flex.

    What MS games don’t use PSSR lol? This whole conspiracy theories really need to stop.
    Sony and Microsoft are lying and you’re right…

    PSSR or PSSR2… it seems you’re changing the argument now. FF7 Rebirth as many other titles received its PSSR2 update recently… so that’s not true. It’s fictional. Unless you work in the game industry or are a representative of Sony, your word is just hearsay. That’s it, sorry. I’m done with this silly conversation, I won’t be replying any further.

    How did a PS5 Pro Enhanced yes/no conversation turn into a personal argument riddled with immature insults? Entertaining stuff guys.

    Please never change dovetail forums! :o
