The changes are quite minor though, causing some consternation for observers.
It’s now pretty much taken as fact thatSonyhas aPlayStation 5 Proconsole in the works, with the main question being whether we’ll be able to get our hands on it in 2024 or early 2025.
The console is expected to offer a welcome graphical uplift compared to the standardPS5, and might also include boosted capabilities where tech like ray tracing is concerned.
Now though, keen-eyed dataminers have spotted details in the files attached to the latest major update forNo Man’s Skythat might tell us more. The game recently received one of its typically expansive patches, adding new graphical settings and biodiversity to its huge procedurally-generated universe.
In those files, people have found an all-new graphical preset that can’t currently be activated, though – one that’s designated as being for hardware with the codename “Trinity”.

This seems to confirm that new hardware is imminent, but it’s a little confusing – the graphical changes are more minimal than you might hope. Very few of the presets have actually changed, with only one value going from “High” to “Ultra” compared to the normal PS5 settings.
The biggest difference comes in resolution, which would be bumped from 1300p to 1730p with a higher dynamic resolution factor that would likely make the game look sharper. But, it still wouldn’t be running at native 4K.

Of course, this being simply some datamined information in a patch, never intended to be noticed, there’s also every chance that it’s not even final.
The developers ofNo Man’s Skyhave already said they plan another big update soon, and if that comes before the PS5 Pro arrives (as it probably will), they’ll have another chance to tweak these settings to get ready for it.
So, whether you find this dispiriting or simply interesting might be a matter of perspective. Either way, the PS5 Pro seems to be getting closer.
