PS5 Pro Update on Its Way to Black Myth: Wukong, Arriving Tomorrow

As an old-school gamer with a heart full of nostalgia and a wallet lighter than it used to be, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement at the prospect of Black Myth: Wukong‘s upcoming update. The promise of a challenge mode, in-game maps, and new armour pieces has me eagerly awaiting tomorrow, December 14th, 2024.

The update for Black Myth: Wukong, which includes a challenge mode, maps within the game, and new armor pieces, was announced earlier this week but has not been released yet. However, it has received a patch today that adds PS5 Pro support. We now know that the update will be live on December 14th, 2024, and it’s intended to enhance both the Quality and Balanced Modes in the game.

On PS5 Pro, you can expect the following once the patch has been downloaded:

PS5 Pro now supports PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). By enabling it, you can achieve a high-definition visual experience by selecting either Quality or Balanced Mode in Settings.
The system supports 120 Hz Output. When enabled in Balanced Mode, it maintains a stable 40 FPS output. If you encounter any visual anomalies, you can turn it off in PS5 Settings.
Various scenes and boss fights have been optimized for better game performance.
The stability of frame rates and visual clarity in both Balanced Mode and Quality Mode have been enhanced.
The input response has been improved in Performance Mode.

The patch notes make note of how you can “enable” PSSR, which suggests the feature is a toggle rather than something that’s mandated. With other titles like Silent Hill 2 and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora suffering from issues when PSSR is activated, this is a good sign that if Black Myth: Wukong has those problems too, you can turn it off straight away. Then, the framerate for both the Quality and Balanced Modes should be more stable while 120fps is supported for 4K TVs.
