It’s worth pointing out that Dragon’s Dogma 2 now utilises Sony’s upgraded PSSR upscaler. which has no doubt helped in making the game run as smoothly as possible on PS5 Pro, without sacrificing visual clarity.
And if you don’t have a display capable of VRR and high refresh rates, you can still hit a buttery smooth 60fps with ray tracing on the Pro. You basically can’t go wrong on the more expensive console.
While the title’s frame rate woes never rendered it unplayable, they could be frustratingly frequent, and in busy areas, they could make the adventure appear extremely choppy.
Previous updates did improve performance in general, but you could tell that underlying issues with Capcom’s RE Engine were holding the experience back.
So when the developer managed to straighten out Monster Hunter Wilds’ performance issues, I did wonder whether Dragon’s Dogma 2 would eventually get the same treatment.
In short, then, Capcom’s engineers have worked a minor miracle here, even if it has taken two and half years to get to this point. Better late than never!
The important thing is that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is now fully prepped for the launch of its Dark Arisen expansion in October.
