Sony touts how Days Gone will look on a PS4 Pro 4K HDR display

Sony’s Bend Studio is hard at work on Days Gone, a 2017 release for the PlayStation 4. But the company trotted out Days Gone and its designer Chris Reese to describe how much better the game will look on the upcoming PlayStation 4 Pro.

The PS4 Pro will debut with 4K video and high-dynamic range (HDR). The machine has a faster graphics processing unit (GPU) with more features from Advanced Micro Devices’ new Polaris graphics architecture, and it has a higher clock central processing unit (CPU). The GPU is twice as powerful as the one in the 2013 PS4.
