Empire Of Ants is a new title coming from indie studio Tower Five with visuals that impress beyond what we see from most indie teams. It looks like a graphical powerhouse, with its unique microscopic setting focused on the smallest details.
So it’s really no surprise that, according to an interview from GamingBolt with the game’s director Renaud Charpentier, the PS5 Pro will be the best place for console players to get the most out of its visually-striking setting.
Charpentier discussed that for both the base PS5 console and Xbox Series X consoles, the game will run at a native resolution that’ll be somewhere between 1400-1600p that is then up-scaled to 4K and at 30 FPS.
However on PS5 Pro, the game will run at a native 1440p that is then up-scaled to 4K but instead running at 60 FPS, thanks to the benefits of the extra horsepower on PS5 Pro and software like PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR).
So even though any console you’ll play it on will be an up-scaled 4K, at least on PS5 Pro it’ll be at a higher frame rate and have a higher base-resolution.
It seems like Empire Of Ants is one of the first of potentially many games that’ll show just how much more you’ll get out of the PS5 Pro compared to the rest of the current-gen console suite.
Oh, and if you’re curious about the Xbox Series S version, it’ll reportedly run at a native 972p that’s then up-scaled to 1080p all at 30 FPS.
