PS5 Pro is getting a big upgrade soon thanks to Sony and AMD's partnership

Expect even better graphics on PS5 Pro in the future

The new upscaler, co-developed with AMD, and first announced as "Project Amethyst" in March 2025, should arrive as a "drop-in replacement for the current PSSR" in an update next year, according to an interview with Tom's Guide. Sony is working with developers on the best way to implement it and to release an update to PS5 Pro owners to take advantage of the new upscaler, so it makes sense to expect an announcement at some point in the future. The PS5 Pro first launched back in November 2024 as a souped-up PS5 with over 50 games receiving updates to help improve graphics and performance, although certain titles such as Alan Wake 2 and Silent Hill 2 were singled out by fans for the PSSR upscaler allegedly making them look worse than the base console.
