    sadly not a chance they’ll do that, TSW6 (or the next iteration) will be out this summer I’m sure

    Yeah, on paper it’s more for the graphics boost and faster loading. The extra RAM in the Pro is very minimal, but I’d still like to see what DTG could do with those extra assets. Most PC players are using 16GB of RAM and able to get the full timetables on S-Babn, the Pro gives an extra 2GB of RAM to developers.

    On PC you have RAM and VRAM, so it will be more then 16GB in total. On console there is no seperate VRAM and higher res/textures is already consuming more memory.

    In one of the last streams, Matt mentioned the amount of PS5 Pro players is low, so I don't see them invest a lot of time into a PS5 pro version.

    In all due respect I don’t know how Matt would have assess to this information.
    I can imagine a dev under the Sony studios brand would when users are playing the Pro enhanced version of their game.
    It just seems a bit “word of mouth” like he’s got those figures from the engagement of users here on the forum, I don’t know how’d he’d know Pro users being low otherwise.
    Not to say it isn’t true though, I doubt a lot of people would have upgraded to the Pro yet or will. It took me 7 months to finally cave in, but I’m more using my Pro for other games.

    Somehow they can see how many players of TSW are on PS5 Pro.

    Telemetry from the game itself?

    I just don’t buy it. PS5 and the PS5 Pro are pretty much the same device just with the Pro specs enhanced. Does Sony pass on this data to dovetail when people engage on the Pro console? I very much doubt it.
    Are Dovetails engagement tracking servers advanced enough to know if a user is on a Pro console? The PS5 and base and Pro are apart of the same ego-system, so I just don’t know how they can differentiate from the two DTG Matt I would really like to know how you collect data on the PS5 Pro console?

    There is a thing called a survey where the 1st question is what systems are you playing TSW on?

    I suspect that may be where he gets his info from.

    100% agree with that, it’s just the data has changed now as the last survey DTG did was last year.

    Anyways as I’d like to see an Enhanced version of TSW, DTG are now too busy making their 3 pack route bundle for the TSW6, and recording interviews telling us why TSW6 will be the next best thing since sliced bread.

    Maybe the info about the console is send when logging in to your DTG account or there is another telemetry active.

    They could have the full and reduced timetables available on both systems, but give a warning to base PS5 players that there may be performance issues. Of course, it wouldn't perform differently anyway for the issues I listed earlier.

    Telemetry is used everywhere, one of the cases that surprised me was learning that Yuzu, a Nintendo Switch emulator, actually would track what games you're playing and report back to the emu developers. Actually played a part in its downfall because Nintendo used that data to prove people were pirating Tears of the Kingdom before it actually released. The idea that some bit of telemetry would report specifically note if it's a PS5 or PS5 Pro hardly seems weird to me. There's a million reasons you'd want that data, determining if there's enough demand for PS5 Pro enhancements actually being a very valid one.
    Oh, I don't doubt for a second that if it ran whatsoever DTG would've published it. Even if said timetable was running at single digit FPS and it took a literal millennium to load. 100% the console manufacturers don't care if it runs well, just that it runs, period. That full timetable must've been more extremely prone to crash on consoles if DTG felt the need to pull it back.

    There are numerous ways to differentiate between a PS5 and a PS5 Pro, including by using the console model number or hardware capabilities, which are likely to be collected in analytics by DTG as a matter of course.

    What's so difficult about it? Just like every website you access knows what browser you're using. It's as fundamental a piece of info as you can get.

    Ahead of the announcement of more routes this summer, time to take stock of what BR regions are lagging behind.

    Yes, the API tells us if you're on a Pro console or a regular PS5.

    Out of interest, does it differentiate between the pre-facelift PS5 and the PS5 Slim?

    I assume it would be the same for the PS4 and PS4 Slim then.
