PS5 Pro Upscaler Gets Global Update to Sharpen Visuals

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.

PS5 Pro Sets the Benchmark for Resident Evil Requiem’s Visual Mastery

Digital Foundry’s verdict is that Resident Evil Requiem looks stunning on all modern consoles, but the PS5 Pro version delivers the definitive experience thanks to near-native 4K visuals achieved via temporal upscaling, robust ray tracing, and the game’s hair strand tech; base PS5/Xbox Series X are similar with slightly lower image quality, Series S drops hair work and runs at a lower resolution, and the 120Hz mode disables RT/upscaling, highlighting Pro as the standout choice.

NVIDIA GeForce NOW Expands with New Games and Features

The Outer Worlds 2, powered by Unreal Engine 5, supports NVIDIA DLSS 4 and Ray Tracing on PC. Benchmarks on an NVIDIA RTX 5090 reveal that Ray Tracing improves visuals but causes significant performance drops and noisy shadows, making it less recommended. DLSS 4, especially with Frame Gen, helps achieve playable frame rates at 4K, with the best performance using DLSS 4 Performance Mode. Overall, DLSS 4 offers good visual quality and performance, while Ray Tracing's drawbacks suggest disabling it for smoother gameplay.
