Sony’s Upgraded PSSR Upscaling Lands on PS5 Pro

Sony has begun rolling out an upgraded version of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) as part of a PS5 Pro system update available today. The company had hinted that a refresh was coming, and this release focuses on refining the algorithm and neural networks that drive its AI-based upscaling.

At a high level, PSSR analyzes pixels and reconstructs images to present clearer visuals even when a game runs at a lower internal resolution. With this update, Sony says image reconstruction is more precise and motion stability has improved, giving developers more headroom to balance performance and fidelity on PS5 Pro hardware.

The upgrade isn’t universal — only supported titles will be able to use the enhanced PSSR. For PS5 Pro owners, toggling the improved mode is simple: there’s an option in the Screen and Video settings menu to enable enhanced PSSR image quality for all supported games.

Several notable titles and Sony partners are already on board. The list includes modern and remastered heavyweights such as Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill f, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Control, Alan Wake 2, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Nioh 3, Rise of the Ronin, Monster Hunter Wilds and Dragon’s Dogma 2, alongside Resident Evil Requiem.

For readers who want deep technical comparisons, Digital Foundry has already tested the new PSSR against the previous implementation across multiple games, highlighting where improvements are most visible. If you’re weighing an upgrade to PS5 Pro for image quality, this refreshed upscaling tech is a key part of that proposition.
