Assassin's Creed Shadows already delivers one of the biggest PS5 to Pro upgrades - but now the enhanced version is even more enhanced, thanks to RT improvements to the balanced mode and the addition of PSSR upscaling which looks to be worthy boost over the standard TAAU. Performance though? It's not quite what it was.
