That said, we do get a boost to foliage draw distance, bringing this element into line with the PC version's ultra preset. Shadow quality and general effects work is identical to the experience running on a standard PS4, and the core artwork remains untouched. Outside of the boost in pixel count, the PS4 Pro mode features little else in terms of visual enhancements. And in terms of image quality alone the Pro's 4K mode matches up nicely to the PC version running at the same resolution. Even so the resolution boost is a worthwhile upgrade for owners of 4K TVs, where avoiding a 1080p upscale is preferable. However, combining both temporal AA and UHD resolution produces a very smooth image, though sharpness is sacrificed as a result. Arguably, there's less of a need to use strong levels of anti-aliasing at ultra-high resolutions owing to the tight pixel density helping to conceal jaggies to a better degree than on a 1080p screen - the stair steps are much smaller and thus stand out less obviously.
The presentation may still appear on the softer side, but there's a nice uptick in visible fine details across distant scenery and textures, which are smoothed over to a greater degree at lower resolutions.īethesda also employs the same temporal AA solution with the game running in PS4 Pro's 4K mode, and when combined with the increase in pixel count, we get a highly refined image where edge artefacts are a non-issue. This is an area where the quadrupling in resolution on PS4 Pro using the 4K mode yields a welcome upgrade. The upside is that jaggies and other edge artefacts are practically eliminated, which creates a very clean presentation. Running on a standard PS4 at 1080p, Skyrim features a distinctly soft appearance that lacks the sharpness you'd expect to see when running 1:1 pixel-mapped on a full HD screen, caused by the game's temporal AA solution blurring the image to a noticeable degree.
It's fair to say that the boost in pixel count provides an immediate leap over the native 1080p base PS4 game, resolving more detail and definition across the game's rugged environments.
We can also confirm that resolution appears to be locked at that number with no dynamic scaling or any other similar technique. Skyrim Special Edition is one of the first games to support PlayStation 4 Pro, with the code already included on the game disc., and unlike the majority of Pro enhanced titles, Bethesda's popular RPG runs natively at 4K resolution - that's a 3840x2160 framebuffer without utilising checkerboard rendering or upscaling from a lower resolution.
