Alan Wake 2: PS5 Pro Performance Improvements Underway, Update 1.2.5 Released
Developer Remedy Entertainment is currently researching performance improvements for Alan Wake 2 on the PlayStation 5 Pro. However, players should expect that these enhancements will take more than just a few weeks to implement.
Recent Update Highlights
The newly released Update 1.2.5 introduces several improvements to the base game as well as the Night Springs and The Lake House expansions. Here are some key points regarding the update and ongoing performance issues:
Player Feedback Acknowledged: Remedy has stated that they are actively listening to player feedback regarding the PS5 Pro version.
Research in Progress: The team is conducting further research to identify how to enhance performance specifically for the PS5 Pro.
Ray Tracing Introduced: The latest patch finally brings ray tracing capabilities to the console version, although the results have not met expectations.
Despite the introduction of ray tracing, the PS5 Pro version of Alan Wake 2 has not performed as well as anticipated. Key issues include:
PSSR Upscaler Limitations: The PSSR (Performance Super Sampling Resolution) upscaler has been criticized for not providing significantly better image quality compared to the base PS5 version.
Performance Mode Issues: Reports indicate that the game may actually run worse in Performance Mode on the PS5 Pro than on the standard console, raising concerns among players.
As Remedy continues to work on these improvements, fans remain hopeful that future updates will enhance both image quality and overall performance.
Alan Wake 2 is currently available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. Do you think the ray tracing feature is worth the performance trade-off
