The one feature that defines the PS5 Pro is the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaler. While the first version of the AI-powered upscaling technology left something to be desired in games like the Silent Hill 2 remake, where the upscaler didn't work properly with Unreal Engine 5's light rendering, the enhanced PSSR 2.0 is elevating gaming on the system. However, some games that haven't been updated still only support the first version of the upscaler, relying on the system's "Enhance PSSR Image Quality" toggle to improve image quality. Although this toggle will eventually be deprecated once future versions of the […]

The game that Phil Spencer (correctly) identified would not be the thing to make them trade-in their PS5s for an Xbox Series X, and the one that former Bethesda executive Pete Hines had to apologize to players over its perceived Xbox exclusivity, Starfield, has finally, and inevitably, made its way to PlayStation consoles with its arrival on PS5 today. The space-faring epic arrived today alongside a couple of major updates for the game, including its Terran Armada DLC expansion, and the Free Lanes update, the latter of which is available to all Starfield owners as a free update, while the […]

If you can believe it, Cyberpunk 2077 is about to get yet another visual improvement, at least for players who power their console gaming with a PS5 Pro. Developer CD Projekt RED's infamous RPG is getting a new update tomorrow, April 8, 2026, specifically around allowing the game to take full advantage of the professional-grade PlayStation, and the additional power that comes with it over a base PS5. A new PlayStation Blog post digs into the numerous enhancements that PS5 Pro owners will be able to take advantage of, including support for PSSR (and yes, it is PSSR 2.0 support), […]

Following the recent release of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) 2.0, owners of a PlayStation 5 Pro console may be wondering exactly which of the games they own support the new upscaler. You'll find the full list, updated as much as possible to the latest games, below. For now, there's only a relatively small number of games that use the new algorithm natively. However, the good news is that there is a system-level toggle that can upgrade PSSR 1.0 games to version 2.0, improving image quality. Notably, PS5 Pro System Architect Mark Cerny has stated that 'the current strategy is […]

PlayStation's initial foray into developing its own upscaling technology with PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) was, unfortunately for PlayStation, very hit and miss. It's never a good thing when the new technology that is supposed to make games look better, on the latest and greatest hardware, look worse than it does without that tech on the old hardware. Thankfully, though, it seems like PSSR 2, the upgraded and enhanced version of the upscaler is capable of delivering "overall, a much better image," across multiple titles, according to Digital Foundry's Oliver Mackenzie. Despite it still having some remaining issues. That comes […]

The PlayStation 5 Pro Enhance PSSR Image Quality toggle will not be updated in the future even when new versions of the upscaling tech are released, PlayStation 5 Lead System Architect Mark Cerny confirmed in a new interview with Digital Foundry (as reported on Reddit by Dream Corridor). Cerny cited the need to set a standard for the community regarding the feature as the primary reason for this decision. "The current strategy is that it will be fixed, i.e. even if there are updated network parameters for the most recent PS5 Pro games, those parameters will not be applied when […]

Sony has just announced that the highly anticipated new version of the PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) upscaler for PlayStation 5 Pro is ready and will roll out next month, with CAPCOM's Resident Evil Requiem (out today and already doing well on Steam) as the first game to implement it. The announcement came with a statement from CAPCOM's Masaru Ijuin (Senior Manager, Engine Development Support Section, R&D Foundational Technology Department), who said: The upgraded PSSR has allowed us to elevate our expressiveness by successfully processing these details and textural particularities, which are traditionally difficult to upscale because of their intricacy.

While it left something to be desired at launch, the PlayStation 5 Pro PSSR upscaler is still very notable tech as it is the first AI-powered upscaler to be available on a home console. In the months since the system's release, the upscaler has been consistently improved to deliver better image quality, and a future version could introduce some significant changes that would prevent frame rate drops in essentially every game. As spotted by Tech4Gamers, Sony Interactive Entertainment filed a new patent on February 4 detailing some new features that could be part of the upcoming PSSR 2.0. Chief among […]
