While console's super-resolution technologies still aren't on par with its PC counterparts, Sony is narrowing the gap with the launch of PSSR 2 (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution). Now available to all PS5 Pro owners, this second-generation looks quite the advancement, promising users less shimmering and ghosting and improved visual quality.

While Nvidia is currently iterating on DLSS 4.5 and 5 and AMD is teasing the AI-driven FSR Diamond, Sony's internal solution is now being deployed across twelve titles. This initial wave includes games such as Silent Hill 2 Remake, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

The full list of games can be found below:

• Silent Hill 2 Remake
• Silent Hill f
• Dragon Age: The Veilguard
• Monster Hunter Wilds
• Dragon's Dogma 2
• Crimson Desert
• Rise of the Ronin
• Nioh 3
• Control
• Alan Wake 2
• Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2
• Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
• Cyberpunk 2077 (upcoming)
• Assassin's Creed Shadows (upcoming)

Digital Foundry has already provided the first deep-dive analysis of the technology, with Oliver Mackenzie noting that the leap from the first iteration to PSSR 2 is substantial, describing it as a “big improvement” that significantly improves the value proposition of the PS5 Pro hardware. While he was careful to mention that PSSR 2 still lacks some of the advanced features found in top-tier PC upscalers, the consensus is that for a living-room experience, the “ghosting” and “shimmering” issues that occasionally plagued early PSSR 1 titles have been drastically reduced.

KitGuru says: PSSR 2 alone might not be enough to justify getting a PS5 Pro, but it sure looks like something worth adding to the list of advantages.

After laying dormant for a decade, the Silent Hill franchise is officially back and bigger than ever. With the most recent release ‘Silent Hill f’ continuing to find new audiences, Bloober Team’s excellent Silent Hill 2 Remake has reached a massive milestone – officially surpassing 5 million total players.

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, the official Silent Hill page revealed that over 5 million people have played the latest remake from Bloober Team, writing: “The fog's reach grows ever greater, and a timeless story continues to find new minds to echo through. SILENT HILL 2 celebrates 5 million units worldwide!”

As always, 5 million players does not equate to 5 million copies sold, with Konami stating that this latest figure includes “units shipped, store downloads and subscription services.”

This is worthy of note as Silent Hill 2 Remake was added to PlayStation Plus Extra back in October of last year (on the 21st to be specific) just days after confirming that the title had SOLD 2.5 million copies.

Regardless of whether it was through direct purchases or PlayStation Plus however, Silent Hill is in a strong place right now. It will be interesting to see whether the remake eventually outsells the entire rest of the franchise’s previous output.
