Sony’s latest and greatest PlayStation, the PS5 Pro, is now just a few short weeks away and – in stark contrast to what happened with the original PS5 four years ago – this time around it seems that anyone who wants to get his/her hands on one, will be able to do so. Many of the people thinking of getting a PS5 Pro will be making that decision based on what this powerful system can do for their existing games as well as for upcoming ones, though, which is why maintaining a list of all the titles confirmed to take advantage of its hardware makes sense.
Sony initially claimed that between 40 and 50 PS5 games will be offering PS5 Pro enhancements through software updates at launch day, while several insiders believe that this number will reach or exceed 100 within “the launch window” of the machine (i.e. during its first 90 days of availability). The Japanese company itself has invested a considerable resources into supporting the PS5 Pro early on, as one can tell based on the fact that almost a third of the games included in this PS5 Pro-compatible list of titles is either Sony-made or Sony-published.
So, without further ado, based on PlayStation Store information and various other official sources, these are the first 100 games or so confirmed to work better on the PS5 Pro.

As The Point Online explained a while back, already released or new PS5 games can take advantage of the additional power and features of the PS5 Pro in a number of different ways. People into the technology of modern games already know that some of these ways are more interesting and effective than others, but Sony seems determined to not set different tiers for its “PS5 Pro Enhanced” label. Practically any game that makes use of the increased processing power and feature set of this new PlayStation model in order to deliver better visuals or higher performance (compared to what’s offered by the same game on the current PS5) gets to use that label.
In other words, there is no “baseline” in terms of PlayStation5 Pro optimization in Sony’s eyes. This is both fair and unhelpful at the same time, for a number of reasons, so we’ll just have to see what consumers think about the company’s specific choice long-term.
In the meantime, leading up to the PS5 Pro launch on November 7th this story will be updated with any and all additions to this list officially confirmed by Sony itself or its publishing partners. It’s just one of a number of articles The Point Online has already planned for the PS5 Pro, including an early in-depth review of the system – so stay tuned for more over the next few weeks as this is shaping up to be one of the most interesting developments in the gaming market for 2024… and beyond.
UPDATE 04/11/2024: There are now almost a hundred different games confirmed to work better on the PS5 Pro and new ones seem to be added to this list every single day. While not all of these titles won’t be ready for the system’s launch on November 7th, a lot of them will be – so we’ll be sure to check out as many as possible in order to find the ones offering the most impressive upgrades for Sony’s powerful new PlayStation. Stay tuned!
