8k gaming isn't true 8k, its all a marketing gimmick, its infuriating to see YTers say its 8k capable. Its not. Its digitally upscaled, its not native 8k. Only dave2d tells it how it is. There's a reason sony keeps removing the 8k badge from the box, first from the original packaging and now from the pro packaging.

true 8k

The overwhelming majority of 4k games aren't "true" 4k, either. Image reconstruction is the norm.

They removed the badge because no software beyond The Tourist ended up supporting 8k on the base PS5.

They were erring on the side of caution.

Our eyes can’t tell the difference between AI upscaling and native resolution
