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.
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.
PS5 Pro sales jumped thanks to PSSR 2, led by Resident Evil Requiem, as Sony announced a March system update adding a universal PSSR 2 toggle to improve images and let developers focus on other effects. US stockouts on PS Direct reflect rising demand, with analysts praising PSSR 2’s potential and suggesting continued upgrades for future games like Crimson Desert.
Sony's PS5 Pro gains a significant PSSR 2.0 upscaling upgrade, with a system-wide toggle due in March that will allow any PSSR-enabled game to benefit without patches. Early testing in Resident Evil Requiem shows the new upscaler performing close to or better than PC counterparts like FSR4 and DLSS 4.5, addressing prior PSSR issues and suggesting broad future support across current and upcoming titles, potentially extending the PS5 Pro's relevance through the PS6 era.
The PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler aims to deliver 4K/120 FPS and 8K/60 FPS gameplay, but won't achieve this on the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro due to hardware limitations. It currently supports 4K resolution and targets 4K/60 FPS and 8K/30 FPS, with future goals of 4K/120 FPS and 8K/60 FPS. The upscaler enables improved performance for certain games, including 1440p/60 FPS and ray tracing at an unspecified resolution.
