Astro Bot gets a PS5 Pro update bringing PSSR, new levels and some subtle tweaks


What does the Astro Bot update for PS5 Pro look like? Digital Foundry has investigated, discovering evidence of PSSR and more subtle tweaks alongside new levels

That mix of fortunes is more or less par for the course when it comes to PS5 Pro upgrades, with some titles and scenes particularly suiting the technique (eg Final Fantasy Rebirth) and others not so much (eg Star Wars Jedi: Survivor). Ultimately, the new version with PSSR does look better most of the time, with less aliasing and a sharper resolve, with the noise that we spotted in some scenes being somewhat hard to make out a traditional TV viewing distance. Overall, it's great to see that Astro Bot continues to receive attention post-launch, and of course the addition of PSSR makes a lot of sense given that this is one of the biggest selling points of the PlayStation 5 Professional.
