New PS4 Pro Improvements for The Witness Revealed
A PS4 Pro patch for The Witness was announced earlier this year, but now we have some finalized details on what that patch will provide those who buy the upgraded, more powerful console.
Players will now have two different modes to choose from when playing on a 4K display, creator Jonathan Blow wrote on the game's website. The first mode runs at 60 FPS with a 1440p resolution upscaled to 4K. It features 2x MSAA rendering of the game's world, while text and UI is rendered at 4K. The second mode is set at a 4K resolution with 2x MSAA rendering but runs at 30 FPS.
"We added option (b) because a lot of people seem to want it, and it does look really good!" Blow exclaimed.
The improvements players get from playing on a 1080p display are unchanged from the 1080p, 60 FPS, and 4x MSAA details that were announced in September. Regardless, Blow says this is noticeably higher than the regular PS4's version of the game, which runs at 900p, 60 FPS, and 2x MSAA.
Lastly, Blow confirmed that The Witness will feature HDR support on all models of PS4. There's currently no release date for the patch, but Blow says it's coming "in November sometime."
Other games receiving PS4 Pro patches include Infamous: Second Son, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Modern Warfare Remastered, and Horizon: Zero Dawn, in addition to many others. You can see GameSpot's roundup of all the games getting PS4 Pro patches here.
