Summary

  • Space Marine 2, surprise released in December 2022, received a free upgrade for PlayStation 5 Pro owners this week.
  • The goal of the upgrade is primarily to boost the game’s performance, which has been a point of criticism for the game, particularly in its pursuit of a consistent 60fps performance.
  • The new upgrade hasn’t been universally successful in this aim, with some players reporting improvements and others a performance drop, but the game still looks and runs better on Pro systems than it did previously.
  • The upgrade highlights the value of Sony’s PlayStation 5 Profiler tool, which allows developers to more finely adjust how a game behaves on various PS5 hardware setups.
