ThePS5 Prois upon us this week, andSonyhas just provided the official rundown of more than 50 games that’ll be enhanced for the new console at launch. It’s looking a lot like any normal console launch, full of sports games, free-to-play ports, and the year’s new Call of Duty title. Yes, the same new Call of Duty game that’s now an Xbox first-party title.
ThePlayStation Bloghas published a “sample of more than 50 games boasting PS5 Pro enhancements at launch,” implying that it’s not the full selection of games that’ll be upgraded on November 7, but that’s a lot of games. There are the heavy hitters we’ve seen demoed extensively before launch, likeMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart,Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and Alan Wake 2, but that’s not all.
Sports games have been a staple of any console launch going back to the earliest days of video games, but modern platforms also tend to get a whole lot of free-to-play games whose publishers are looking to entice new players hungry for every game they can get their hands on. For PS5 Pro, that list includesFortnite, Enlisted, The Finals, The First Descendant, War Thunder, Warframe, and World of Warships: Legends.
One more fun thing from this list is that it includes Arma Reforger - a game which had not previously had a PlayStation release date officially announced. The devshave been promisinga PS5 version for some time, but there were never any concrete details on the port, and the game’s inclusion in this list was an apparent accident. It’s now been marked out with a strikethrough.
