Just as impressive is the draw distance increase. Edge detail is sharper in spots where light shafts fall in the background, and it's a big enhancement over the regular PS4 rendition. PS4 Pro's new patch pushes the quality of this effect closer to PC's high setting not a perfect implementation by any means, but the higher resolution of the lighting buffer now produces crisper outlines. Both the regular PS4 and Xbox One use a toned down version of this taxing effect, with pixellation visible on edges overlapping with light. This isn't a feature to be taken for granted, and many games (such as The Last of Us or The Last Guardian) frustratingly forgo this benefit entirely to only deliver a native 1080p on these displays.Ĭhief among the graphical upgrades is a boost in the quality of god rays. The result is much cleaner, and you also get the other visual upgrades bundled in this Pro patch.

With this PS4 Pro patch installed, the game renders at 1440p regardless of the screen you have connected, with full HD screens displaying a super-sampled image. As a result, jagged edges are very hard to spot, and certainly compared to the regular PS4's 1080p image, it's a noticeable upgrade.Īnother piece of good news: if you're using a regular 1080p TV, Bethesda still has you covered. Just like those games, Fallout 4 features a decent temporal anti-aliasing solution that produces a great turnout overall.

The visual upgrade on PS4 Pro is clear, and a pixel count confirms a true 1440p presentation - but similar to titles including Titanfall 2 and Uncharted 4, image quality still manages to impress on an ultra HD display. However there's a twist: by using patches earlier than 1.14, and selecting PS4 Pro's boost mode option, it's possible to achieve smoother results than Bethesda's official patch - although all other Pro enhancements are obviously left off the table.įirst, let's consider what the official patch actually adds. It also improves frame-rates compared to a regular PS4, but we're still some way off a 30fps lock. As promised by Bethesda's blog, patch 1.14 (also known as 1.9) pushes the game to a native 1440p, adding in expanded draw distances and a higher grade god ray effect. Fallout 4's new PS4 pro update has landed.
