Here’s why:įaster memory on PS4 Pro doesn’t just mean shorter times between loading screens, it also means faster texture loading.

That’s a benefit that’s likely due to faster memory and read speeds on the PS4 Pro, and one that will be seen across the board for anything played on the Pro (VR or not), but PSVR players are likely to get a slightly greater benefit out of it. In Robinson: The Journey, we measured a 24% reduction in loading speed when launching a new campaign. In our initial tests, we’ve seen loading times improved significantly for PSVR games played on the PS4 Pro compared to the PS4. See Graphics Side-by-side in Our Full PSVR on PS4 Pro vs. In the meantime, there’s one instant perk you’re likely to notice when playing PlayStation VR on the PS4 Pro and that’s loading times. We think that will probably change and PlayStation VR games will see big visual improvements over time as developers begin to target the PS4 Pro and unlock the capabilities of its hardware. Right now you’d be hard pressed in most cases to tell the difference between a PSVR game played on PS4 Pro and the same game played on PS4. When it comes to PSVR, which is limited by its 1080p screen, the biggest gains we’re seeing so far are in loading times.

The new console packs significantly more power than the standard PS4 and is aimed at 4K gaming.
