Here are the first games optimized for PlayStation 4 Pro

Some new, some old. All improved.

With only a week until the PlayStation 4 Pro launches, Sony wants to make sure everyone knows exactly what they're going to get when the powerful console arrives. The company is starting with a list of over 30 games that have been optimized to take advantage of the Pro's 8-core x86-64 "Jaguar" AMD CPU and 4.2 teraflop AMD Radeon GPU. Some are new games, which were released with Pro assets already included, but developers of some more established titles have also worked hard to add new aesthetics and experiences.

Newer titles include Battlefield 1, Bound, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, FIFA 17, Hitman, Mafia III, Rise Of The Tomb Raider, Robinson: The Journey, Titanfall 2 and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.

Sony also lists: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Driveclub VR, Firewatch, Helldivers, Hustle Kings, inFAMOUS First Light, inFAMOUS Second Son, Knack, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, NBA 2K17, Paragon, PlayStation VR Worlds, Ratchet & Clank, Rez Infinite and RIGS Mechanized Combat League.

The list is rounded off by Smite, Super Stardust Ultra, The Elders Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, The Elders Scrolls Online: Skyrim Special Edition, The Last Of Us Remastered, The Last Of Us: Left Behind, The Playroom VR, Tumble, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, Viking Squad, World Of Tanks and XCOM 2.

Sony says that another 45 games, including Watch Dogs 2, The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy XV, will get the same treatment by the end of the year. Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, For Honor and Sony's own titles -- Gran Turismo Sport and Horizon Zero Dawn -- will, as you'd expect, all be PlayStation 4 Pro ready when they eventually come to market in 2017.
