Digital Foundry (DF) has released their analysis of Assassin's Creed Mirage on the PS5 Pro, and they're impressed.  DF calls it a potentially "transformative" upgrade, possibly the most significant seen on the platform so far.

Key improvements highlighted in their analysis include:

• Ray Tracing Global Illumination (RTGI) and Frame Rate: The PS5 Pro version achieves a targeted 60 frames per second (FPS) with RTGI enabled. This is a significant jump compared to the standard PS5 and Xbox Series X, which reportedly achieve 30-40 FPS with ray tracing.
• Enhanced Visuals: While the base resolution might not see a drastic increase over the standard PS5 version, the addition of RTGI creates a noticeable difference in the overall visual experience, making it a "game-changer" according to DF.
• Resolution Boost in Quality Mode:  Quality Mode on the PS5 Pro offers a resolution increase, although specific details aren't yet available.
• Ray Traced Reflections: The PS5 Pro introduces ray traced reflections in Quality Mode, adding another layer of visual fidelity.
• 120Hz Balanced Mode:  For smoother gameplay, Balanced Mode targets 40 FPS with 120Hz output and also boasts a higher resolution on the PS5 Pro.

The incorporation of RTGI represents a significant step forward in visual fidelity.  This technology allows for more realistic and dynamic lighting, profoundly impacting the game's atmosphere and overall presentation.

DF's analysis points to a substantial performance improvement on the PS5 Pro, particularly with the inclusion of ray tracing.  The ability to maintain a consistent 60 FPS with RTGI is a testament to the console's capabilities and the optimization work done by the developers.

The enhanced resolution and addition of ray traced reflections in Quality Mode further solidify the PS5 Pro as the premium way to experience Assassin's Creed Mirage.

Players who prioritize smooth gameplay can opt for Balanced Mode, enjoying a higher refresh rate of 120Hz with a resolution boost compared to the standard PS5.
