In view of the release of the PS5 Pro, various game updates or at least information about them are slowly but surely arriving, including the noble RPG Baldur’s Gate III.
More power is always good, even if it comes at a price, as is the case with the Playstation 5 Pro, which has just been released. The console also comes with a number of game updates that are intended to improve frame rates and quality by taking advantage of the additional power of the new console.
This also includes Baldur’s Gate III and the information that Larian Studios has announced about it sounds promising. Not that the flagship role-playing game previously ran badly on the old PS5. Anyway, the game’s quality mode can now run at native 4K resolution (2160p) and 30 frames per second. Performance mode has now been scaled up from 1440p to 2160p at 60 frames per second.
The split-screen mode has also been worked on, which should now offer a whopping 30 or 60 fps, depending on the choice between quality and performance mode. Or as Larian Studios describes it itself: “We have optimized our quality and performance modes to achieve crisp console graphics without sacrificing smooth performance.”
While you’re at it, a bug in the PS5 version that prevented you from downloading or subscribing to mods when loaded into another player’s multiplayer game with mods enabled has also been fixed.
The new PS5 Pro has been available since yesterday for 799.99 dollars and is said to greatly exceed the performance of the old PS5 thanks to improved internals and (finally) 2TB SSD. Competitor Microsoft, however, has so far refrained from refreshing the current generation of consoles.
Fans of Baldur’s Gate III have recently been able to look forward to official mod support. This slightly different trailer presents the possibilities.
