Helldivers 2 has been everyone’s favorite PS5 game and it seems the shooter has improved with a new PS5 Pro update. While players love the multiplayer experience, it does have a few technical issues that can take players out of it. Does the PS5 Pro update make this an even better online game than before?
A detailed breakdown from Eurogamer shows how this is a smoother game on PS5, though it still has issues. Graphics lovers will be happy to know that the Pro version lets this game run at 1440p, whereas the base PS5 has it at 1080p. That won’t mean much to casual gamers, but it’s still a 78% increase in pixels, which hardcore players will appreciate.
In Quality Mode, Helldivers 2 is another minor enhancement on PS5 Pro. While the base PS5 can take the game to 1728p, the Pro can bring it to 4K. On paper, that sounds impressive, but ask most people to look at a comparison image between the two and it’s not that big a deal. That’s one of the many reasons most consumers aren’t interested in Sony’s PS5 Pro.
Players can also use the anti-aliasing toggle now that this PS5 Pro update has hit the game. The devs at Arrowhead let you drop TAA, though many feel that it’s integral to keeping this shooter looking sharp. If players choose to turn it off, the game’s visuals soften significantly, so try it at your own risk.
Overall, fans who are thinking of upgrading to the PS5 Pro for an upgraded Helldivers 2 experience should not take the plunge. If you already have a PS5 and good internet, Arrowhead’s multiplayer shooter is still a worthwhile experience. The PS5 Pro definitely gives players an improved experience, but it’s just not improved enough.
