Although on the surface developers have seemingly embraced Sony's new console, if you look into the games that have been updated with new features and actually analyse the Pro patches themselves, the results aren't always as strong as the flashy marketing would have you believe.

In fact, sometimes these updates have even made the games themselves worse. Although it was sold with a claim that it had built-in Pro support, Bethesda's Prey wasn't updated with a patch until after it had hit shelves, and it actually made the game more unstable.

Sure, there was a slight improvement when it came to visuals, but the impact it had on performance provided a counterbalance to any of the upgrades it added. It's just one example, but it's part of a larger whole that proves developers are still getting to grips with developing for Sony's new platform.
