CyubeVR
The voxel game, which is one of the best looking PSVR 2 games, has already received a PS5 Pro update, the developer told MIXED.
According to the developer, the improvements are primarily these:
- Increased distance for maximum LOD quality of the landscape and anything the player has built on it, so the player's builds look very detailed from a distance.
- Higher LOD quality for trees so that LOD changes are less noticeable from a distance.
The resolution remains the same, but is already very high.
Gran Turismo 7
The racing simulation received a higher render quality and a new graphics option with update 1.54.
Kayak VR: Mirage
A PS5 Pro update for the kayak simulation is currently in preparation.
The developers announced the following enhancements on X:

No Man’s Sky
No Man's Sky's VR mode already benefits from improved Dynamic Resolution Scaling (DSR), resulting in a much higher render resolution in most scenarios.
Some good details in this article about our #PSVR2 release for #PS5Pro . Translating the tech numbers: we use dynamic resolution, so roughly the lowest Pro renders at is the highest base PS5 ever did, then the Pro peak is 55% more pixels multiplied 1.75x with foveated rendering! https://t.co/VLStDfzjq7

More information on PS5 Pro
The new console brings several technical improvements over the PS5, including a GPU with 67 percent more cores and 28 percent faster RAM. According to Sony, this enables an overall rendering speed that is up to 45 percent faster. Another new feature is AI-powered upscaling, which Sony calls "PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution" (PSSR). Other enhancements include PS5 Pro Game Boost, which can improve the performance of over 8,500 backwards-compatible PS4 and PS5 games.
Playstation System Architect Mark Cerny confirmed at the PS5 Pro unveiling in September that the console will enable higher resolution PSVR 2 games thanks to the Game Boost feature. PSVR 2 games will also benefit from the new AI upscaling at some point, but PSSR will need to be adapted for the VR headset first.
