“If we get a solid 60fpsBloodborne,I’ll buy the PS5 Pro on day one, " exclaimed TyrionLannister2012.
Reddit user tokyobassist offered a different take on the popular FromSoftware title suggesting that Sony may have other plans. “IfBloodbornewas possible Sony would have shown it [during the PS5 Pro reveal), but they didn’t so it won’t. I think it wants to remake it, so we gotta hope that it doesn’t suck.”
