PS5 Pro Elevates Cyberpunk 2077 to a Glossier Night City

The PS5 Pro patch for Cyberpunk 2077 adds three graphics modes (Ray Tracing Pro, Ray Tracing, and Performance) plus Sony’s PSSR2 upscaling, delivering notably sharper lighting and depth across Night City. Ray Tracing Pro maxes RT for a visually stunning but framerate-constrained experience (about 30fps on 60Hz, ~40fps on 120Hz); Ray Tracing offers 60fps with less intensive lighting; and Performance disables RT for the smoothest play, up to ~90fps on 120Hz. Overall, the update markedly improves visuals on PS5 Pro and is described as a must-play on that platform.

PS5 Pro's PSSR 2 Upscaler Proves Faster, Enabling Global Image-Upgrades

Sony’s PS5 Pro uses a faster PSSR 2 upscaler that delivers better image quality while cutting processing time, enabling a universal upgrade toggle for all PSSR-supported titles. Mark Cerny says PSSR 2 is about 100 microseconds faster than the original, and Digital Foundry’s tests (including Monster Hunter World) show similar performance with improved visuals, a promising sign for future PlayStation hardware like the PS6.

Sony's AI-driven frame generation headed to PlayStation platforms, Cerny confirms

Mark Cerny confirms that ML-based frame generation via the PSSR/FSR framework is heading to PlayStation platforms, but Sony will not roll out new updates this year. The exact target hardware (PS5 Pro or future generations) and rollout details remain to be discussed in upcoming interviews, with the work tied to Sony-AMD collaboration and Project Amethyst.

PS5 Pro Gets a Targeted Visual Boost With PSSR 2

A software update adds PSSR 2 upscaling to the PS5 Pro, boosting visuals on a select set of games (notably with ray tracing in Resident Evil Requiem) and improving motion fidelity for titles reconfigured to use the tech. However, gains are uneven and largely depend on developers updating games for PSSR 2. At $750 (excluding the $80 disc drive), the PS5 Pro remains the best piecemeal option for high-fidelity console gaming, while many titles don’t fully leverage the updater.

PS5 Pro Upscaler PSSR 2 Delivers Near-Native 4K in Alan Wake 2

An extended Alan Wake 2 analysis praises PS5 Pro's PSSR 2 upscaler, noting crisper lines and improved textures in Performance Mode that bring the image close to native 4K, with fewer gains in Quality Mode due to higher resolution. The patch auto-updates games and marks a strong early success for PSSR 2, boosting confidence in PS5 Pro support and hinting at how future hardware like PS6 could benefit.

Upgraded PS5 Pro PSSR Delivers Near-4K Clarity in Alan Wake 2

Digital Foundry finds Sony's upgraded PSSR delivers a dramatic, 4K-like image for Alan Wake 2 on PS5 Pro: in 60fps mode with 864p native, the improved upscaler cleans up grain, stabilizes motion, and sharpens textures, though tiny pepper-like artifacts persist and some very high-frequency details still show subtle flaws; the 30fps mode gains are smaller, but the upgrade significantly outperforms the first-gen PSSR and bodes well for PS5 Pro and future hardware.

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 boosts visuals with a big AI upscaling update tonight

Sony is rolling out an upgraded PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) AI upscaler to PS5 Pro games with the latest system update, expanding support to titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Silent Hill 2, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and more. Digital Foundry testing says the update reduces shimmering artifacts and delivers crisper, more consistent graphics, thanks to AMD/Sony’s Project Amethyst work and a backport of FSR 4-style tech. The upgrade arrives in phases starting March 17 at 1 AM ET, with additional titles and patches (including Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Cyberpunk 2077) to follow in coming weeks; players can toggle PSSR on or off per title.
