Gran Turismo 7 gets a visual boost on PSVR 2 thanks to PS5 Pro update
UPDATE- Technical analysis by Digital Foundry added (check the Youtube video)
PSVR 2 owners are in for a treat, as an update to Gran Turismo 7 improves the clarity and smoothness of the VR mode on the PS5 Pro.
Polyphony Digital has released update 1.54 for Gran Turismo 7, which enhances the support for Playstation 5 Pro. In addition to the standard version, the VR mode for Playstation VR 2 also receives improvements.
Here are the relevant release notes. I have highlighted the VR-specific improvements:
"Support for the PlayStation 5 Pro has been enhanced, with the following additions:
- We added a mode that combines higher Image quality and frame rate performance by fully utilizing the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) for PlayStation 5 Pro.
- Ray-traced reflections have been introduced during races, with the option available by selecting "Prioritize Ray Tracing/Resolution" in the Display settings.
- 8K resolution compatibility.
- Enhanced rendering quality in VR Mode.
- Smoother video playback in VR Mode, achieved through the VR Positional Reprojection function.
A mysterious new graphics option
PSVR 2 fans are celebrating the update on Reddit and are talking about significant visual improvements.
According to posts there, "VR Positional Reprojection" is a new graphics option that results in a clearer image and smoother gameplay, but can cause visual artifacts.
We haven't had a chance to try the 1.54 update yet. If you have any experience with it, please let us know in the comments.
