Is Assassin's Creed Shadows with PSSR on PS5 Pro a game changer? We tested it across all display modes


Assassin's Creed Shadows has had its first major patch on consoles, bringing PSSR to the PS5 Pro version. How does it compare to the launch patch?

Otherwise, PSSR does hit image clarity somewhat, with a softer resolve overall - a change that's plain to see in side-by-side comparisons, especially ones that are magnified for analysis, but probably something that you just get used to in a normal gaming scenario from a typical viewing distance. One other major change is that Ubisoft disabled the 30fps lock in the hideout area, so it now runs at 60fps on PS5 Pro in performance mode with TAAU active, and a bit below that with PSSR. | Image credit: Digital Foundry Weirdly, there seems to be an HDR issue with PSSR for some reason, with certain elements of the game's lighting exhibiting coloured halos that resemble a banding artefact.
