Sony and AMD are upgrading PS5 Pro visuals with a new AI-driven upscaling tech called PSSR, derived from FSR 4, promising higher resolution, smoother frame rates, and reduced ghosting. Resident Evil Requiem will be the first game to support the update, a system-level enhancement expected to benefit multiple upcoming titles as Sony positions the PS5 Pro as a living platform ahead of a PS6 release.
Sony is rolling out a global update to the PS5 Pro’s PSSR upscaler, enabling existing and future games to render at lower resolutions and upscale for crisper visuals and improved lighting, with modes like 60fps at 1080p with ray tracing or 120fps without RT. Resident Evil Requiem already showcases the gains, and other titles such as Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Battlefield 6, and 007: First Light may receive PSSR enhancements as Sony deepens its AMD FSR Redstone collaboration. At a $750 price, the update could extend the PS5 generation and keep the Pro feeling relevant against PC upgrades.
Sony confirms a second‑gen PSSR AI upscaler for PS5 Pro, based on AMD’s FSR4, used in Resident Evil Requiem to upscale from just above 1080p to 4K at 60fps; it can be toggled system‑wide and may roll out to other titles. In tests it competes with DLSS4 and FSR4 in many scenarios, though results vary by game and there can be RT denoising quirks tied to Capcom’s pipeline. Overall, it marks a significant step forward for ML upscaling on PS5 Pro and could become a broader system‑level improvement across the library.
Marathon will use PS5 Pro’s Enhanced PSR (PSSR) to render at about 5K internally and downsample to 4K, delivering crisper neon‑lit visuals for the shooter’s fast‑paced action as Bungie’s game heads toward a March 5, 2026 release.
A new rumor claims Sony plans a major PSSR upgrade for the PS5 Pro by March, introducing an FSR4-like upscaler and AI-driven image quality improvements that could boost visuals and frame rates, including for backwards-compatible PS4 titles; no official confirmation yet, so treat as speculative.
Rumors say PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution 2.0 will arrive in early 2026 for PS5 Pro, delivering an FSR-4‑level upscaling boost with improved image quality and higher frame rates; the upgrade, discussed by PS5 architect Mark Cerny last year, is linked to AMD’s FSR Redstone revamp, but Sony’s official release window remains unconfirmed.
Obsidian has temporarily replaced Sony's PSSR upscaling technology with TSR in a patch for The Outer Worlds 2 on PS5 Pro to improve visual issues and stability, while also fixing various bugs and progression problems, though no performance improvements have been announced.
Silent Hill F on PS5 Pro faces performance issues, including shimmering caused by the AI upscaling technique PSSR and micro-stutters, which require a fix from Konami to improve the gaming experience.
No Man's Sky is the first PS VR2 game to utilize PS5 Pro's PSSR AI upscaling, enhancing image clarity and detail in VR, thanks to a close collaboration with Sony. The update also introduces a new 'Corvette' ship for multiplayer exploration. This development marks a significant step in leveraging PS5 Pro's capabilities for high-fidelity VR gaming.
Some PlayStation 5 Pro owners are experiencing worse graphics performance in certain 'PS5 Pro Enhanced' games like Silent Hill 2 and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor compared to the base PS5. The issue seems linked to the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling technology, which causes a shimmering effect in Performance mode. Digital Foundry highlights severe image quality problems in Jedi: Survivor, suggesting the upscaling algorithm may be at fault. Players are frustrated by the lack of communication from Sony and game developers regarding potential fixes.
Gaijin Entertainment's Graphics Programmer, Gergo Horvath, discusses enhancements for the PS5 Pro, noting that its improvements over the PS5 are less significant than the leap from PS4 to PS4 Pro. The PS5 Pro's standout feature is its Machine Learning Architecture, enabling PSSR, which rivals NVIDIA DLSS and Intel XeSS in quality. Games like Enlisted and War Thunder benefit from dynamic resolution and upscaling, achieving 4K@120FPS. Despite hardware improvements, Horvath suggests pricing fairness is subjective, based on user experience rather than specs alone.
The PS5 Pro significantly enhances the performance of Naraka: Bladepoint, running the game twice as fast as the base PS5, according to Yongcheng Liu, Console Version Producer at NetEase. The console's PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) offers visual quality comparable to NVIDIA's DLSS, with minor differences. The PS5 Pro supports various modes, including native 4K and high frame rates, providing players with more options. Despite the high pricing, developers see the hardware upgrade as beneficial for integrating advanced graphics technologies.
Sony's rumored PS5 Pro is said to feature an improved GPU, better ray tracing capabilities, a faster CPU, and additional memory, but the real game changer is the proprietary upscaling technology called PlayStation Spectral Resolution (PSSR), which could upscale a 1080p image to 4K with minimal memory overhead. This technology could potentially be backported to existing PS5 games, promising significant improvements for Sony's new hardware.
