The PS5 Pro launch demo showed off several games with enhanced visuals and running at a stable 60fps. It actually combines typical quality and performance graphics options. While this is a major selling point for this console upgrade, it appears that not all PS5 Pro Enhanced Edition games will run at 60 frames.

According to The Verge's Tom Warren, PS5 Pro Enhanced Edition games are not guaranteed to have 60fps. In fact, he said that despite all these hardware upgrades, there will still be some games targeting 30 frames.

"While Sony hopes to include this new mode in games, PS5 Pro's 'enhanced' label will still apply in a variety of other situations, including 30-frame gaming," Warren said in his article. "Developers can choose to increase the target resolution for PS5 Pro games running at fixed resolution on PS5, or even increase the target maximum resolution for games running at variable resolution on PS5."

The conditions for PS5 Pro enhanced games appear to be quite straightforward and flexible. A fixed resolution increase, a target framerate increase, ray tracing, or any combination of the three can qualify a game as "enhanced." This means that a base PS5 game that typically runs at 1440p resolution and 30 frames per second is considered an enhanced version if its resolution is increased to 2160p with the same frame rate.

DigitalFoundry's Richard Leadbetter further confirmed this in his analysis of GTA6. In an interview with IGN, he pointed out that previous GTA games were very demanding on the CPU of the platform they were on, which is why they often launched at 30 frames per second. Additionally, while the PS5 Pro does have a more powerful GPU, it has the same CPU as the base model, which will limit its performance.

"PS5 Pro uses the same CPU as PS5. If the target of the base PS5 version is 30 frames, then it will be extremely difficult to achieve 60 frames." Leadbetter said. "It's not a GPU problem, it's a CPU problem."

So, which games will be enhanced versions of PS5 Pro? There are already several announced games that do target 60 frames, including The Last of Us Part II, Ratchet & Clank: Time Split, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and Gran Turismo 7. However, apart from the games shown at the launch event, it is currently unclear which PS5 Pro Enhanced Edition games will target 60 frames.
