F1 24 – PS5 Pro Hands-On – Ray Tracing and PSSR Upgrades Tested

At Sony’s PS5 Pro hands-on event, Codemasters’ F1 24 deeply impressed us with its range of visual upgrades. After the event, we had the opportunity to visit the developers and capture the PS5 Pro version of the game running on development hardware. With an enhanced RT-heavy quality mode and an impressive 120FPS performance alternative, and a ‘resolution’ mode designed for 8K displays, F1 24 is one of the most robust, fully featured PS5 Pro upgrades we’ve seen yet.
