Marathon on PS5 Pro runs at a native 5K resolution

Following a roughly 6 months delay, Bungie’s extraction shooter Marathon is finally set to officially launch on the 5th of March. While questions remain regarding how the live-service title will be received, PS5 Pro users are seemingly in for quite the visual treat, with Sony confirming that the PS5 Pro version of Marathon will run at an internal resolution of 5K.

Following the official announcement of Marathon’s new release date (that being the 5th of March), PlayStation have now started to share a bunch of ancillary details pertaining to the upcoming extraction shooter.

While some games struggle to render at a native 1080p even on the PS5 Pro, Marathon looks to be operating with plenty of spare power, with the team confirming via its store page that:

“PS5 Pro Enhanced PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) blends 5K internal rendering into a clean, stable 4K image so your Runner’s view stays sharp, even when the action gets hectic.”

Typically, PSSR is used to upscale games to a higher perceived resolution, but in this case, the technology is actually downsampling the internal resolution from 5K to 4K; which will make Marathon’s sleek visual design even cleaner looking.

Unfortunately, there has been no word on whether the game will offer a 120fps mode, with the store page only confirming “a sharp, smooth 60 FPS” for now.

Regardless, it is interesting to see PSSR used to downsample from higher resolutions, as opposed to being a bit of a clutch to eke out some extra frames. Hopefully Bungie has plans to introduce some sort of high framerate option.

KitGuru says: Are you looking forward to Marathon? Has Bungie done enough to convince you? Is a locked 60fps enough for you? Let us know down below.
