Fans may have different reviews of Assassin's Creed: Shadow, but it is undeniable that its performance on the PS5 Pro is undoubtedly one of the most impressive games of the year.This game has fully demonstrated the powerful performance of the PS5 Pro, and has excellent visual effects in exchange for reasonable performance.

Ubisoft recently added the option to enable PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) for the PS5 Pro version of "Assassin's Creed" to significantly improve image quality.It can be said that Assassin's Creed: Shadow is probably one of the best application cases of Sony's super-resolution technology.

Digital Foundry has analyzed the latest update of Assassin's Creed: Shadow (1.0.2), which introduced PSSR and ray tracing reflection for balanced mode, which were previously limited to image quality mode.The result is clearer image quality, higher overall stability, and reduced jagging.The image appears softer and clearer when expressing vegetation, which is very consistent with the artistic style set by Ubisoft for the Japanese background.

Due to the dense vegetation in the game, moving the lens will cause visual drag, and this phenomenon is significantly reduced after enabling PSSR.The dragging problem caused by particle effects almost disappeared in PSSR mode, but is more obvious in TAAU mode.

Overall, the effect after enabling PSSR is shown in the picture in the article, which performs better.Assassin's Creed Shadow has very little visual noise compared to other games that use PSSR, a known issue that PSSR is common in other games.

However, PSSR has high requirements for the GPU of the PS5 Pro, which will lead to performance degradation.In performance mode, the minimum resolution of the PS5 Pro can be reduced to 864p, which is the lowest resolution of the PSSR.

Overall, "Assassin's Creed" has the best graphics and performance in the balance mode with PSSR enabled.
