Sony Interactive Entertainment has released an updated version of PSSR as part of a system software update for PlayStation 5 Pro. This upgraded PSSR is already supported by titles such as Silent Hill f, Monster Hunter Wilds, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Crimson Desert.
PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) is an AI library that analyses every pixel in each frame to upscale game visuals. The latest version offers more precise image reconstruction and improved motion stability, giving developers greater flexibility to balance performance and fidelity on the PS5 Pro. Several game developers have already integrated the upgraded PSSR into their titles. It is being rolled out to Alan Wake 2, Control, Silent Hill F, Monster Hunter Wilds, Dragon's Dogma 2, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Nioh 3, and Senua's Saga: Hellblade II.
Crimson Desert, due to be released on 19 March, will also use the new PSSR version. Patches to support the new PSSR are also set to be released for Assassin's Creed Shadows and Cyberpunk 2077 in the coming weeks.
Sid Shuman, Senior Director, Sony Interactive Entertainment Content Communications: "If you’d like to see how some of your other games work with the new PSSR, you can apply it to all PS5 Pro games that support PSSR today. While results may vary by title, many games may see improvements in clarity and image stability. If it results in any unexpected visual effects, you can turn it off at any time. The upgraded PSSR represents another step in our commitment to evolving the PS5 Pro experience. Moving forward, most new PS5 Pro titles will launch with support for this enhanced PSSR, ensuring players continue to see improvements in image quality and performance."
The new PSSR's algorithm and neural network stem from the Project Amethyst partnership with AMD. Shuman: "This upgraded PSSR represents the very latest innovations in our co-developed technology; stay tuned for AMD’s next FSR update that will bring these advancements to even more players around the world!"
