Sony Unveils Enhanced PS5 Pro Upscaling Tech, Boosting Graphics in Major Game Titles
  • Sony has released an updated version of its PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaling technology for a broader set of PS5 Pro–supported games, aiming to improve image quality and performance.

  • The rollout follows the confirmation that the upgraded PSSR would be available after the Resident Evil Requiem update, which was the first game to utilize the upgraded tech on PS5 Pro.

  • Sony states the upgraded PSSR provides enhanced image stability, crisper fine details, and more consistent performance across supported titles, with most new PS5 Pro titles expected to launch with PSSR support.

  • BioWare notes that The Veilguard benefits from improved image quality while maintaining stable frame rates in Fidelity and Performance modes, boosting visual polish in Thedas.

  • Konami praises Silent Hill f for smoother gameplay and greater detail, highlighting improvements in textures such as grass and shadows that deepen immersion.

  • The upgrade reduces shimmering, flickering and other artifacts, delivering crisper and more consistent in-game graphics without reducing framerate.

  • Sony cautions results may vary by title and that PSSR improvements may also benefit AMD’s future FSR updates when they roll out.

  • The rollout covers titles including Silent Hill f, Monster Hunter Wilds, Dragon's Dogma 2, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Control, Alan Wake 2, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Nioh 3, and Rise of the Ronin, with more games to follow.

  • Initial rollout includes Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Silent Hill 2, and more, with many additional games to receive PSSR support in the update.

  • Other confirmed or upcoming PSSR-enabled games include Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Alan Wake 2, Control, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Nioh 3, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Dragon’s Dogma 2.

  • The upgraded PSSR is part of AMD and Sony’s Project Amethyst, which uses AI-based upscaling to render at a lower resolution and upscale per frame without sacrificing performance.

  • Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Cyberpunk 2077 will receive patches to add PSSR in the coming weeks, and Crimson Desert will adopt the tech on its March 19 launch; players can toggle the feature on or off for supported PS5 Pro titles where available.
