Eight years post-launch, No Man’s Sky has received a significant update, version 5.0, revealing intriguing hints about the potential arrival of the PS5 Pro.

Unveiling Trinity

The recent update for No Man’s Sky has stirred excitement among gamers, thanks to some clever code digging by Twistedvoxel. Buried within the game’s new version is the term “Trinity,” a known codename for the PS5 Pro. This mention appears in the game’s graphical settings under “GraphicsDetailPresetTrinity” and “GraphicsDetailPresetPS5,” leading many to speculate that this might be an early sign of the upcoming enhanced console.

Visual Enhancements

The graphical settings hint at several visual improvements the PS5 Pro could bring. The resolution is expected to leap from 1300p to 1800p, with graphic details set to Ultra instead of High. For gamers who cherish visual fidelity, this means sharper images and more detailed environments, enhancing the immersive experience of games like No Man’s Sky.

A Powerhouse of Graphics

Rumors about the PS5 Pro suggest it will feature a new GPU based on the RDNA 3 architecture, boasting three times the power of the current PS5’s GPU with 36 TFLOPS. While the CPU will remain the same as the standard PS5, it will run at higher frequencies, offering a noticeable performance boost. This setup is reminiscent of the jump from the PS4 to the PS4 Pro, promising improved resolution and potentially enabling ray-tracing without compromising frame rates through a technique akin to Nvidia’s DLSS, dubbed PlayStation Spectral Sampling Resolution (PSSR).

Anticipation Builds

Seeing the PS5 Pro’s codename appear in No Man’s Sky’s update raises questions about the console’s release timing. Unless Hello Games is significantly ahead of the curve, this could indicate that the PS5 Pro’s launch is imminent. The latest buzz suggests we might see an official presentation of the new console around the holiday season.

For those who remember the transition from the PS4 to the PS4 Pro, this feels like a familiar yet thrilling wait. With promises of higher resolutions and more powerful graphics capabilities, the PS5 Pro is shaping up to be a substantial upgrade, much anticipated by the gaming community. Stay tuned, as this holiday season could bring some exciting news for PlayStation fans.
