Disclaimer: H1 uses PSSR1 natively, so this page still displays PSSR1 metrics. However, as of September 26, the 'Enhance PSSR Image Quality' toggle (which forces PSSR2 upscaling) is activated by default. PSSR2 was made the default because it resolves a sharper, more stable image and removes PSSR1's film grain-like noise. If you experience image quality issues though, deactivate the toggle in PS5 system settings to see if PSSR1 produces better results.
Hellblade came to Series X in 2021 and had 3 modes - 4K/30fps with RT reflections (enrich visuals), 4K/60fps with no RT (resolution), and 1080p/120fps with no RT (performance). This is essentially what came to base PS5, meaning Pro is a big improvement in all modes - especially enrich visuals mode with its 2x framerate and introduction of RTAO. Pro can also use PSSR except in performance mode, which can improve some LOD quality, but the image is otherwise very similar.
