Lords of the Fallen details PlayStation 5 Pro enhancements

Something to look forward to ahead of the sequel.

Lords of the Fallen made its debut on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S a year ago, and now it has plans for Sony’s upgraded console. Publisher CI Games and developer Hexworks confirmed plans for PlayStation 5 Pro enhancements, which aim to give the action RPG even more of a visual boost.

On PS5 Pro, Lords of the Fallen promises “a 40% increase in pixel density over the base PlayStation 5 console.” Visuals in Performance Mode have been upscaled from 1440p to 4K60, locking the action in at 60 frames per second while increasing the clarity of details in the distance. Character and environmental textures have also been refined.

Those who prefer to play on Quality Mode can look forward to a native 4K30 experience, “showcasing intricate visuals across the dual realms of Axiom and Umbral at a stable 30 FPS.”

Since it hit consoles and PC, Lords of the Fallen has had a number of post-launch updates and content releases, including the Clash of Champions boss rush mode that arrived back in May. Hexworks isn’t done with it at this point, even without the Pro enhancements taken into consideration. 

There are further updates and enhancements on the way across all platforms. While we don’t know much about the specifics just yet, many of them are apparently based on player feedback, so it should be interesting to see what they have in store for everyone.

There’s also that sequel that was referenced in CI Games’ roadmap. Whether or not it ends up hitting the 2026 window with the promised “elevated production values,” for now we can get a taste of some visual improvements when PS5 Pro launches in November.
