New 8K Game for PS5 Pro Announced

Developer Ripstone has announced a new game that supports 8K on PS5 Pro, raising hopes for graphics advancement.

New 8K Game Announced for PS5 Pro Adds to Limited Library

Developer Ripstone has revealed a new title, Pure Pool Pro, which will support 8K resolution on PS5 Pro. This announcement increases the total number of games that support 8K on the console to five. Pure Pool Pro is described as a visually stunning upgrade to the previous 2014 version, Pure Pool, and features a native 8K resolution at 60 frames per second without relying on Sony’s upscaling technology. However, it's important to note that the PS5 base model will not support this resolution, although Ripstone has confirmed that it will run at 120 FPS in native 4K on the standard console.

The growing library of 8K titles for PS5 Pro, now totaling five, hints at a shift in the gaming landscape toward ultra-high-definition graphics. Ripstone's bold claims about Pure Pool Pro represent a significant step forward, yet they also raise questions about the reality of widespread 8K adoption. The initial promise of 8K from Sony created anticipation that has not yet been fully realized. This situation could spark both excitement and skepticism among gamers, especially as only a handful of titles truly deliver on that promise. As the industry progresses, whether more developers will embrace this technology remains to be seen.
