One can argue that the Sony PlayStation 5 is already a successful console. It has numerous attractive and successful titles that users adore and play on a day-to-day basis. In recent times, God of War: Ragnarok, Sony’s fastest-selling first-party title, made its debut on Playstation 5. With all the success and much more to come, it seems like the console is in a very good spot. However, fans on the other hand think that this next-gen console is yet to reach its peak.

A Twitter user posed a question to the fans as to whether fans would be interested in buying a PS5 Pro console. The comments the tweet received, inclined towards a specific answer.

PlayStation 5 seems to be far from needing an update

Sony PS5 users seem to be pretty satisfied with the current console. Commenting on the tweet, users had a lot to say about the visual fidelity of games that are released on it.

It is a common perception amongst gamers that the PlayStation 5 is yet to see a game that makes full use of its power. As of now, most games that are released on the console are cross-gen, meaning there are very few exclusive games for PS5. Cross-gen games are those that release for both Playstation 4 and 5 at the same time.

A game that releases on both consoles at once is not a game made with a complete focus on the latest console. This means, its visuals are limited due to developers having to make sure the game runs effectively on Sony’s last-gen console.

Notably, God of War: Ragnarok was a cross-gen title. The developers of this successful game famously said that they considered Ragnarok a Playstation 4 game at first. They even said that they wanted it to be a perfect send-off to PS4 hence they focused more on Playstation 4 during the game’s development.

Hence, fans are still waiting for what they call a “Real PS5 game”. And this is why many have inclined towards not wanting a Playstation 5 Pro console. The Pro version of any console signifies the fact that it is more capable and powerful than its non-pro version and can run games better. Fans believe that there is no game to take advantage of a Pro console, as of now.

Users are not ready for a Mid-generation console upgrade
