A comparison video of the Onimusha: Way of the Sword demo shows minimal visual differences between the standard PS5 and PS5 Pro. The Pro version's main advantage is more stable frame rates in quality mode, hovering around 40-55fps compared to the standard model's mid-to-late 30fps. Performance mode maintains over 60fps on both consoles.
A technical analysis of the Onimusha: Way of the Sword demo finds the PS5 Pro version offers little visual improvement over the standard PS5. The ElAnalistaDeBits comparison video shows image quality and texture differences are hard to spot at a glance, with only subtle lighting-related variations in water transparency and shadow outlines. The real gap is in frame rate stability: the standard model's quality mode runs in the mid-to-late 30fps range, while the Pro version holds 40-55fps. Enabling ray tracing lowers both. In performance mode, both consoles stay above 60fps during combat, with the Pro recording slightly higher numbers. Capcom plans to release the game on September 25 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows.
