F1 24 is set to get some impressive visual upgrades for the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro. Although Sony's marketing for the PS5 Pro has so far largely revolved around first-party games, F1 24 developer Codemasters has outlined some exciting upgrades for the third-party game, such as additional ray tracing features, a higher frame rate, and 8K support.

As the latest installment in EA Sports' annual racing series, F1 24 was already launched in May 2024 for PS4/PS5, Xbox One/Series X/S and PC. Performance analyzes showed this F1 24 it runs pretty well on current-gen machines, offering 60fps gameplay as a base level, with PS5 and Xbox Series X players even having the option to dial it up to 120fps. A set of ray tracing features, namely shadows, ambient occlusion, reflections, and dynamic diffuse global illumination (DDGI) are also included F1 24albeit with a big concession.


Much like Gran Turismo 7's ray tracing restrictions, most F1 24Ray-tracing features are disabled during gameplay and are only visible in menus, pre-race sequences, and playback. However, with the debut of the PS5 Pro and its vastly improved ray tracing hardware, these limitations will no longer be present in the F1 24 when running on a more powerful system. Digital Foundry's Oliver MacKenzie, who recently got his hands on the PS5 Pro, revealed in a new IGN analysis that F1 24 will greatly benefit from the added performance of the console.

  • 8K 60fps mode using PSSR


MacKenzie noted that F1 24The ray tracing features are a “generational leap” for the PS5 Pro, with the Quality game mode adding ray-tracing to ambient occlusion, reflections and RT transparency on color highlights during gameplay. There's good news for gamers who prefer to play at higher frame rates, as the rendering resolution of the 120fps mode has been adjusted to native 4K, allowing for significantly better image quality. finally F1 24 will take advantage of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution to offer stunning 8K 60fps modeentering the ranks Gran Turismo 7 as one of the few games with 8K support on PS5 Pro.


There has been a lot of skepticism about whether the PS5 Pro's performance will live up to its hefty $700 price tag, but the previews clearly show that the developers have been able to extract some very impressive results from the console. A few games that tax the base PS5's GPU heavily, such as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirththey saw a huge improvement on the PS5 Pro. However, it will be interesting to see how the PS5 Pro fares Dragon's Dogma 2and more such games where the CPU is more of an issue than the GPU.
