PlayStation plans to update the PS5 Pro with FSR 4-like technology in the near future


While the PS5 Pro uses PSSR, PlayStation plans to level-up that technology with something closer to AMD's FSR 4 next year.

The news comes from t ech site Digital Foundry’s interview with PlayStation technology guru and lead system architect Mark Cerny, who confirmed that PSSR will be evolving into a new form that more closely resembles FSR 4 next year as part of the Amethyst collaboration between Sony and AMD. “Our target is to have something very similar to FSR 4’s upscaler available on PS5 Pro for 2026 titles as the next evolution of PSSR,” Cerny says. The foundations of FSR, which uses machine learning to instantly upscale images bypassing any hardware performance and upscaling a 720p image to 4K and is a hybrid of CNN and transformer models, were birthed from the collaborative efforts of Sony and AMD and the PS5 Pro was seemingly built with this upgrade in mind.
