With the official launch of the PS4 Pro less than a week away, we’ve started to hear how developers will use the increased horsepower available to improve existing titles. Sony has released a list of all the games that’ll formally support the PS4 Pro at launch, but we’ve got some specific information about how indie hit The Witness and the samurai-themed title Nioh will change when the improved PS4 hits store shelves. The Witness’ lead designer, Jonathan Blow, had already told fans to expect HDR support and that 4K (or 4K scaling) would be available without sacrificing frame rates, but now we know more about the specifics of the title.

The Witness will offer several options (HDR will be available in all cases, if you have an HDR-capable television):
If you own a PS4 Pro and connect it to a 1080p television, The Witness will render at 1080p at 60 FPS with 4x MSAA. The original version of the game ran at 900p and 2x MSAA, though it also had a 60 FPS target frame rate. That’s a significant upgrade from the PS4 version, both in terms of render target and overall MSAA level, and the difference between the two should be fairly easy to see.
