The PlayStation 5 Pro is one of the most powerful consoles on the market right now, and today, Sony has unveiled a selection of recent releases that will be taking advantage of the machine’s processing power. These games use the upgraded version of PSSR (which stands for “PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution”), which analyzes the pixels in each frame of gameplay and upscales the image to allow for finer detail. The upgraded PSSR made its debut with Resident Evil Requiem last month, but now it’s rolling out to eleven more games.
The video above is included in the PS Blog post. You’ll likely need to view the video on a high-resolution display to see the finer differences.
Today’s blog post, written by Sony Interactive Entertainment Content Communications’ senior director Sid Shuman, reads, “With this latest evolution, image reconstruction is more precise, motion stability is improved, and developers have greater flexibility to balance performance and fidelity on PS5 Pro.” The blog continues with a list of games taking advantage of the feature, along with quotes from each developer that worked on it, and sample screenshots.
Games added to the upgraded PSSR list today include Silent Hill f, Silent Hill 2 (2024), Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Control, Alan Wake 2, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Rise of the Ronin, Nioh 3, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Dragon’s Dogma 2. The upgrade will be a part of the next PS5 system software update, which began rolling out today at 10 a.m. Pacific time. Additionally, Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Cyberpunk 2077 will get the upgrade via patches to be released “in the coming weeks,” while Crimson Desert will launch with upgraded PSSR this Thursday, March 19.
While the above games are specifically built for the upgraded PSSR, the blog post also clarifies that you can try it with any game in your library by activating the feature in the Screen and Video section of the settings menu, though results will vary.
