Sony has announced that an upgraded version of PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) will roll out globally to PS5 Pro players in the coming weeks, promising sharper visuals and smoother performance across supported titles.

What is PSSR for the PS5 Pro?

PSSR is an AI-powered upscaling library that analyzes game images pixel by pixel to boost resolution while maintaining frame rate. Over 50 titles already use PSSR, but this new version introduces a reworked neural network and algorithm developed in collaboration with AMD’s Project Amethyst and refined through FSR 4 technology.

What Game Utilizes the Upgraded PSSR?

The first game to showcase the upgraded PSSR is Resident Evil Requiem, launching today. Capcom highlighted how the new upscaler enhances intricate details like individual strands of hair and realistic lighting effects, deepening immersion in the survival horror experience.

When is the Upgraded PSSR Coming to PS5 Pro?

Sony confirmed that a system software update will arrive in March, allowing players to enable “Enhance PSSR Image Quality” in settings. Once activated, existing PS5 Pro games that support PSSR may display noticeably crisper graphics.
