News:: PS4 Pro's new Boost Mode option can mean better performance for older games

We were excited enough to hear that Sony is at long last planning external hard drive support for PlayStation 4 with its impending 4.50 update, but there's another alluring reveal for PS4 Pro owners.

The company is beta testing a "Boost Mode" option that's said to offer "improved gameplay, including higher frame rates, for some games that were released before the introduction of PS4 Pro."

As you might know by now, developers have needed to make an extra effort to support Pro with their games, hence all those patches. Owning the console doesn't give you better-looking or smoothing-running games by default, and that's intentional as a means to keep things from going awry. But with this experimental mode, older titles that haven't been patched for PS4 Pro could see benefits.
