Additionally, the game will feature enhancements specific to the recently announced PlayStation 5 Pro. On the console, the game will feature improved resolution in both 30 fps fidelity and 60 fps performance modes, according to BioWare Studio Technical Director Maciej Kurowski.

Additionally, utilising PS5 Pro’s PSSR upscaling technique, the game will feature upgraded image quality.
