5 games that will challenge your PS5 Pro

1) Gran Turismo 7

Having received a ton of updates since its launch in November 2023, Gran Turismo 7 remains one of the best racing games of all time. Featuring over 400 cars from 60+ manufacturers, the Gran Turismo 7 is extremely demanding for GPUs. If you are a car racing fanatic, we strongly recommend this title.

The developers of Gran Turismo 7 made sure to provide enough freedom in the game as one may want. Even if you are a newbie to racing titles, the game shouldn't feel too tough. You can switch to automatic gear-shifting, or Driving Line Assistance, and you will be good to go.

Bound to receive an enhancement from Sony for PS5 Pro, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is also one of the titles that has fans excited. Continuing the storyline that Insomniac Games ended Spider-Man Miles Morales with, Spider-Man 2 was a treat for Marvel fans.

Moreover, the game allows you to play as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales - something that fans wished for in Spider-Man Miles Morales as well. Playing as the two different web-slinging heroes, you can instantly notice the difference in their combat style. The game makes you feel like you're getting the best of both worlds.

After already getting a remastered version earlier this year, The Last of Us 2 will also receive an enhanced version for PS5 Pro. Receiving upgraded visuals for this timeless game will surely bring a smile to most gamers' faces. Reliving the experiences of Ellie, Joel, and Abby can never get old for PlayStation gamers.

Even though the original PS4 version of Last of Us 2 was already incredible, Sony managed to deliver on their promises with the remastered version to PS5 users. Hopefully, they will keep up the good work with an even enhanced version for PS5 Pro.

This action role-playing game was released back in February 2024. Like most games on this list, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will receive ray-tracing upgrades upon the release of PS5 Pro.

The events of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth occur immediately after Final Fantasy 7 Remake. As such, this open-world masterpiece is sure to make you emotional as you wander around the world of Gaia.

Based in a futuristic metropolis, Cyberpunk 2077 has often been considered one of the most hyped games of all time. Announced back in 2013, the game was finally released in 2020. However, this AAA title received a ton of backlash because of its glitches and crashing issues. Luckily, CD Projekt was quick enough to act on this and made the necessary changes to smoothen out the gameplay experience.

Cyberpunk 2077 will also be enhanced when PS5 Pro releases, making it an undeniably worthy pick to try out once you get your hands on the upcoming console.
