The Touryst formally arrived on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 with a very important novelty: is the first game for PS5 in 8K resolution at 60 frames per second (FPS). However, there is a small “problem” and that is that the most recent generation of the Sony console it still does not allow the image to be taken with a resolution higher than 4K.
Despite this, the The Touryst It is interesting because it clearly speaks of the fact that some studies are already planning the development of their games with a view to the graphic improvements that may come in the future. Furthermore, Shin’en Multimedia will forever have the honor of having achieved this technical merit before the rest.
As explained Eurogamer, the resolution of 7680 x 4320 pixels in The Touryst for PlayStation 5 it is achieved with internal rendering. This means that artificial intelligence scaling techniques are not used, or grid representation (checkerboarding), Nothing like that. We are talking about 100% native 8K.
So if the PS5 still doesn’t support 8K rendering, why render the game in that resolution? The developers indicate that they do for “smoothing (antialiasing) from supersampling “, which is intended to make 4K image quality even more impressive.
How long will we have to wait to play on the PlayStation 5 in 8k?
That the creators of The Touryst have managed to make their game render natively in 8K at 60 FPS, it does not mean that for other developers it is so “simple”. Titles that require a lot more graphical power could run into big trouble trying to do the same.
Also note that, even if it were possible to play on the PlayStation 5 with this configuration, compatible televisions are not available in every home
An important fact to keep in mind is that The Touryst can also be rendered natively in 4K. This is sure to interest those who consider the “extreme” setting excessive in such a game. To achieve this, they only have to enter the configuration and deactivate the antialiasing, as explained from Shin’en Multimedia.
Finally, if tomorrow Sony does allow to play in 8K on the PS5, those in charge of the game assure that they will only need to release a patch to release the maximum quality.
