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.
