If you picked up Prey on PlayStation 4, you might have noticed a logo on the box promising PlayStation 4 Pro support. If you dug around though, you would’ve found, like the team at Digital Foundry, that said support was no where to be found. For Prey, owning a PlayStation 4 Pro added nothing to the experience – until now.

Thanks to Prey‘s 1.04 update, the game now sports some meaningful enhancements for those playing on Sony’s beefed-up console. On the Pro, you’ll now see enhanced shadows and textures, screen-space reflection, further draw distances, and more. The game should look noticeably – though maybe not significantly – better on PlayStation 4 Pro. Here’s a comparison video from YouTube channel Candyland showing off the differences:

The big problem here, of course, is that Prey came out on May 5. It’s only just now, almost a month later, that we’re seeing this support despite the fact that the game featured that PlayStation 4 Pro logo on the box. This should satisfy those owners, but it shouldn’t come so long after the fact.

Here’s the full list

In addition to the PlayStation 4 Pro support, the patch takes care of some various other issues that could halt progression with the game. The full list of fixes is below.

Use a chess clock to keep track of move and play times

These chess clocks feature dual clocks for players to control their own timers, and loud alarms so everyone knows when time is up. These clocks can be used for other 2-person games, like checkers, that may benefit from a game timer.
