Pure Pool Pro runs at native 4K 120FPS on standard PS5, blistering native 8K 60FPS on PS5 Pro

The upcoming billiards simulator Pure Pool Pro has been confirmed to run at native 8K 60FPS without the use of PSSR upscaling on the PlayStation 5 Pro. Check it out in all of its 33 million pixels below:

Pure Pool Pro will run at native 8K 60FPS on the PS5 Pro console, and at native 4K 120FPS on the standard PS5, all without PSSR upscaling. Ripstone Games' boss George Holland explains: "We know this sounds like a tall claim, but the nature of the pool being fixed around the table, our relatively lightweight proprietary engine, and our initial pre-alpha testing before any optimisations leads us to believe it's achievable".

Holland continued, adding that because of the pool being fixed around the billiard table, the relatively lightweight proprietary engine, and in the studio's initial pre-alpha testing (this is before any optimization is done), the team believes that Pure Pool Pro will run at native 8K 60FPS on the PS5 Pro without upscaling.

Pure Pool Pro joins four other games that run at 8K on the PlayStation 5 Pro, with The Touryst, No Man's Sky, Gran Turismo 7, and F1 24. However, games like Gran Turismo 7 and No Man's Sky don't run natively at 8K on the PS5 Pro, tapping PSSR upscaling in order to get there, so they're using the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution technology to render at around 4K, and upscale using the reconstructing technology from 4K to 8K.

Games that run at 8K on the PS5 Pro:

• Pure Pool Pro
• The Touryst
• No Man's Sky
• Gran Turismo 7
• F1 24
