That is not my experience of how DLSS works, most of the time a new version has less ghosting issues and a clearer image, no matter the game?

I believe there were a few cases in which DLSS had a quality regression for a certain games. In any case, DirectSR will eliminate the need for developers to update their game to use a new DLSS version. DLSS versions will instead be tied to the driver.
Fortnite on PS5 Pro: Epic deploys dramatically improved, hardware-accelerated ray tracing
Fortnite on PS5 Pro gets vastly improved ray tracing and improved resolution when compared against the standard PS5.

I think the biggest difference is PS5 Pro's hardware raytracing mostly makes the avatar look like a dude.

I will see myself out.

Alex, I don't understand this, at all. Sony stated 45% rendering improvement with 2 to 3x better RT. And we have seen some games with up to 70% higher resolution. Framerate is getting a smaller boost depending of CPU or bandwidth bottlenecks, as expected notably in boosted games not using the full hardware.
But a 50% resolution increase + added HW RT is aligning perfectly with the specs of the Pro, in a game not at all CPU bound (as it's about locked 120fps with a low resolution), specifically when this one doesn't use the (for now) costly PSSR.
Do we know the version of UE running this?

On pc the exe is 5.5 which probably isn’t the full 5.5 feature set since this mini season came out before 5.5 released. It’s basically season 2 remastered. Chapter 6 season 1 releases on Sunday, which will have much more complex map and definitely be full 5.5.
5.5 did include the hw rt improvements to hit 60 Hz on console.
Edit:
Also the trailer for the new season leaked and it features Godzilla walking around on the map in some form.

No, that's an experimental feature. I imagine it could eventually hit fortnite before the general engine release, but I'd expect that to be at least a year from now.
Up to 45% in general rendering would include the mooted RT increases, which again, are almost certainly just specific aspects of the RT pipeline as opposed to a global speedup of the entire process. The reason you see varying resolution differentials is because performance and resolution can scale very differently depending on how a game is architected.

Stuff like this is going to be important for the future I think. With all the handheld and form factor portable PCs out there.. and the potential for both Sony and MS to have handheld consoles which play their libraries of games, it will help with battery life. Games could have a "low power" mode which makes smart choices about how to save energy in the least impactful way depending on the devices they're running on.TSR is so good they dropped the resolutions on base consoles to save energyThey should have used higher epic settings instead of invisible resolution upgrade on PRO..

I feel like Alex just issued me a challenge. lol
Watching footage from Light of Motiram makes me think of Valheim more than anything, which seems like a great business decision because I don't think Valheim ever got ported to Playstation(?) and development after their initial EA launch has been incredibly slow. Using Horizon's art theme seems like a reasonable choice if you're looking to bootstrap development and set yourself apart visually from other indie survival/crafting/exploration games.
