PS5 Pro gains universal PSSR 2 upscaling toggle in new firmware

Sony has begun rolling out a PS5 system update for PS5 Pro that adds a PSSR 2 upscaler toggle, plus a universal option in Settings > Screen and Video to apply the improved upscaling to other games. Some titles will be patched to support PSSR2 (e.g., Silent Hill F, Final Fantasy Rebirth), and users can disable the toggle if unhappy. The rollout aims to unlock the Pro’s mid-gen potential and reflects Sony’s ongoing AMD collaboration (Project Amethyst) for current and future PlayStation hardware.

PS5 Pro’s PSSR 2 Toggle Goes Universal, Early Impressions Are Positive

Sony’s PS5 Pro firmware adds a universal PSSR 2 upscaling toggle that applies to all compatible games, with titles like Resident Evil Village, RE4 Remake and Silent Hill F updated to support it. The toggle can be disabled if issues arise, and early fan impressions on ResetEra are very positive, noting crisper textures and improved image quality. Not every game uses PSSR 2 yet, but as patches roll out and independent analyses arrive, the Pro upgrade is delivering meaningful visual gains across supported titles.

Switch 2’s Handheld Boost Mode brings TV-like visuals to original Switch games

Nintendo’s Switch 2 firmware 22.0.0 adds Handheld Boost Mode, letting original Switch titles run as if on a TV to boost visuals in handheld mode (up to 1080p). Enable it in Settings > System > Nintendo Switch Software Handling; results vary by game, some features may be unavailable, and it may affect touchscreen use, treat Joy-Con 2 as a Pro controller, and drain the battery faster. No official list of supported games is provided.

Elite Square In-Depth Review: Assessing Its Position

The Elite Square aims to be a versatile, cross-compatible smart bike frame but faces challenges due to industry standards, limiting third-party trainer support. While it offers excellent build quality, quiet operation, and good compatibility with Elite trainers, its third-party trainer support is currently limited, with improvements expected by March 2026. It remains a compelling option for existing Elite users and those seeking multi-platform compatibility, especially in Europe.
