Table of Contents
The PlayStation 5 Pro is poised to receive a substantial upgrade to it’s graphical capabilities in 2026, thanks to a special version of AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 4. This enhancement, developed in close collaboration between Sony and AMD, aims to replace the current PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) with a more advanced AI scaling solution, promising better image quality and performance for gamers. The upgrade is not expected to be available for the standard PlayStation 5 due to architectural differences.
AMD FSR 4: A New Era for PS5 pro Graphics
AMD FSR 4 is anticipated to bring significant improvements over the existing PSSR, which has faced criticism for visual artifacts like image softening and flickering. The new technology leverages advanced AI scaling algorithms to deliver sharper, clearer images, enhancing the overall gaming experience. Mark Cerny, a leading figure in PlayStation development, has confirmed the ongoing collaboration with AMD to optimize FSR 4 for the PS5 pro [[ref]].
Did You Know? AMD FSR technology is open-source,allowing for broad implementation across various hardware platforms.
Addressing Current Limitations
The current PSSR implementation on the PlayStation 5 Pro has been noted for introducing unwanted visual effects, particularly a softening of the image and flickering on distant objects. While some games, such as *Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered* and *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, have demonstrated good PSSR quality, the overall consistency has been a concern. AMD FSR 4 is expected to mitigate these issues, providing a more consistent and visually pleasing upscaling solution.
