Every PlayStation VR2 Game With PS5 Pro Enhancements
Looking for PS VR2 games with PS5 Pro enhancements? Here’s everything you need to know.
Almost four years after the original PS5 was released, the higher-end PlayStation 5 Pro is here with a mid-generation upgrade. Available now from $700, the PS5 Pro features a 2TB SSD, a 45% more powerful GPU with 2-3x faster ray tracing and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) – which doesn’t support PS VR2 at launch but will in a future update – which is a neural upscaling technology similar to NVIDIA’s DLSS.
What PS5 Pro Means For PlayStation VR2 Games
PS5 Pro has a 45% more powerful GPU, meaning it could run PlayStation VR2 games at higher frame rate or resolution if developers release patches.
This should allow developers to run PS VR2 games at a higher framerate or refresh rate. However, Sony only confirmed two PS VR2 games will have a PS5 Pro patch at launch, while one studio states its patch is already live. We’ve also highlighted any upcoming games with confirmed PS5 Pro support.
Three additional games with PS VR2 support – Gran Turismo 7, Resident Evil 4 Remake, and Resident Evil Village – have PS5 Pro patches, though it’s currently unclear if these performance benefits are only for the flatscreen editions or if they extend to PlayStation VR2 as well. We’ve contacted Sony and Capcom for clarification but until we know more, we’ve left them off the list.
For now, here’s a list of PlayStation VR2 games with PS5 Pro enhancements that we’re currently aware of.

Developed by Stonebrick Studios, cyubeVR is an open-world procedurally generated sandbox inspired by Minecraft. The studio informed MIXED that the PS5 Pro patch is already available with improvements including “increased distance for maximum level of detail (LOD) quality for the landscape” and anything the player builds on it.
