The latest Ghost of Yotei update, version 1.100, is making waves with its impressive enhancements on the PlayStation 5 Pro. By enabling 120 Hz VRR across all display modes, players can expect a smoother and more dynamic gaming experience.
Performance Boost with VRR
The performance improvements brought by the 1.100 patch are highlighted in a captivating comparison video shared by RajmanGaming HD. This video showcases the game running with and without VRR enabled across various display modes, including Ray Tracing Pro, Balanced Ray Tracing, Ray Tracing, Performance, Balanced, and Quality. **The findings reveal that enabling VRR and an uncapped framerate results in higher framerates across all display modes, truly unleashing the potential of the PlayStation 5 Pro.**
| Display Mode | VRR OFF / Capped Framerate | VRR ON / Uncapped Framerate |
|---|---|---|
| Ray Tracing Pro | 40 FPS | 60 FPS (Average) |
| Balanced Ray Tracing | 40 FPS | 60 FPS (Average) |
| Ray Tracing | 30 FPS | 40 FPS |
| Performance | 60 FPS | Up to 95 FPS |
| Balanced | 40 FPS | Up to 60 FPS |
| Quality | 30 FPS | 40 FPS |
This update also brings 120 Hz VRR support to the base PlayStation 5. However, a detailed performance comparison for this system is yet to be conducted, leaving the extent of untapped potential under capped framerates unknown.

The Ghost of Yotei 1.100 patch isn’t just about performance; it enriches the gameplay experience with a slew of new features.
