Pragmata On Consoles: Fine on PS5/Series X - But PS5 Pro Is The Best Way To Play

Digital Foundry general

Key Points:

  • Capcom's Pragmata, built on the RE Engine, features a sci-fi setting with AI-gone-rogue themes and advanced graphics including ray tracing and improved strand-based hair, but its image quality varies significantly across consoles.
  • On PS5 and Xbox Series X, the game runs at native 1080p with AMD's FSR 1 spatial upscaling to 4K, resulting in subpar visuals, while the PS5 Pro uses a native 864p resolution with PSSR upscaling for better image quality despite some blurrier ray-traced reflections.
  • The game offers two modes on PS5 and Series X: a resolution mode with ray tracing and enhanced visuals running between 40-60fps, and a frame-rate mode targeting a stable 60fps but with fewer graphical features; Series S runs a single 60fps mode with lower resolution and no ray tracing.
  • The PS5 Pro includes a 120Hz exclusive mode that lowers resolution to 1440p but maintains ray tracing and hair quality, delivering smooth performance between 80-100fps in less demanding scenes and 60-70fps in more complex areas.
  • Overall, Pragmata's performance and visual fidelity closely mirror those of Resident Evil Requiem, with the PS5 Pro leading in quality and performance, while the use of basic upscaling techniques like FSR 1 across other consoles highlights the need for more advanced solutions.
