If you own the Sony PlayStation 5 Pro, you may soon spot improved AI upscaling on some of its best games.
An upgraded version of Sony's PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) feature first arrived in Resident Evil Requiem last month, and now the brand has confirmed that 14 more games are getting the update over the coming weeks.
PSSR is an AI-powered upscaling tech similar to AMD’s FSR4 or Nvidia DLSS, but it's not strictly the same. Sony describes this new version of PSSR as “delivering enhanced image stability, improved clarity in fine details, and more consistent performance across supported titles.”
You’ll get access to the new PSSR features through a PS5 Pro system software update, which began rolling out on March 17. Sony says it’ll be available to all players in the coming days, so keep an eye out for an update on your console.
New supported games include Alan Wake 2, Control, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Monster Hunter Wilds, Nioh 3, Rise of the Ronin, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Silent Hill 2, and Silent Hill f.
There are three more games coming soon, with a patch expected for Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Cyberpunk 2077 in the “coming weeks." The upcoming game Crimson Desert, launching on March 19, will also support the tech from launch.
Digital Foundry tested an exclusive look at four of the upgraded titles, and found they delivery on Sony's promises. Digital Foundry said, “With the launch version of PSSR, the quality of the image quality upgrade varied on a per-title basis and could look worse than the original base PS5 game. That is no longer the case and that's simply great news.”
