Sony has unveiled an upgraded version of its PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology, bringing enhanced AI-powered graphics upscaling to select titles on the PS5 Pro. This includes popular games like Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and Silent Hill 2.
The enhanced PSSR technology leverages AI to analyze and upscale frames, resulting in improved graphics quality without compromising frame rates. This advancement is a product of collaborative efforts between AMD and Sony through Project Amethyst, showcasing a novel approach to rendering games at higher quality on existing hardware.
The updated PSSR, similar to AMD’s FSR 4 upscaling tech for PCs, is set to roll out gradually with the latest PS5 system software update starting on March 17th. Sony has also hinted at synergies with AMD’s upcoming FSR update, promising further enhancements in the future.
Notable titles like Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Alan Wake 2, and Control are among the many games slated to support PSSR on the PS5 Pro post-update. Additionally, Sony plans to extend PSSR compatibility to titles like Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Crimson Desert in the near future, offering gamers improved visual fidelity and a more immersive gaming experience.
