Bandai Namco RPG launches without PS5 Pro support

A major upcoming RPG from Bandai Namco will not feature PS5 Pro enhancements. This decision follows a trend of games skipping support for the upgraded console that began late last year. The announcement highlights ongoing concerns in the gaming industry.

The upcoming RPG from Bandai Namco, identified as Code Vein 2, is set to launch without any PS5 Pro support. According to reports, this marks another instance in a worrying pattern where developers opt out of enhancing titles for Sony's mid-generation console upgrade.

This trend emerged late in 2025, raising questions about the adoption of PS5 Pro features among major publishers. Bandai Namco's choice for this action RPG sequel suggests potential resource allocation priorities or technical challenges in implementing the enhancements.

While details on the game's release date remain sparse, the lack of PS5 Pro compatibility could impact player experiences on the hardware. Industry observers note this as part of broader discussions on console upgrade viability.
