- According to YouTuber and industry insider Moore’s Law Is Dead, a major update for PSSR is imminent, bringing substantial improvements to resolution scaling.
- The updated version of PSSR is expected to offer 4K resolution at 120 FPS, as well as 8K at 60 FPS.
- Additions will also include support for resolutions like 1440p and 1080p.
In thrilling news for the gaming community, Sony is reportedly in the process of developing a revolutionary update for the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) specifically for the PS5 Pro, which is set to significantly enhance resolution scaling capabilities.
This insider information comes from the known YouTuber Moore’s Law Is Dead, recognized for his accurate leaks regarding PS5 Pro specifications. He indicates that Sony is working on a new iteration of its AI-enhanced upscaling technology.
Mark Cerny, the chief architect behind PlayStation systems, has already confirmed a PSSR update scheduled for 2026. However, Moore’s findings suggest that this could be a significant enhancement, tentatively referred to as “PSSR 2,” even though he remains uncertain about Sony’s final naming choices.
“I have my doubts regarding how Sony will position its branding,” Moore remarked. “From what I know, there have been multiple behind-the-scenes updates to PSSR.”
The anticipated PSSR 2 update promises to deliver outstanding performance specifications, enabling 4K gaming at 120 FPS alongside 8K gaming at 60 FPS. It will also encompass lower resolutions like 1440p and 1080p, both capable of reaching 120 FPS.
Moreover, this update may enable upscaling from even lower resolutions, including 720p, 540p, and 360p, giving developers greater flexibility for enhanced performance settings.
Moore highlighted that Sony is aware that the visual quality achieved with PSSR tends to degrade significantly when upscaling from resolutions beneath 864p, and the company is eager to address this shortcoming.
Additionally, Moore’s Law Is Dead mentioned that there could be advancements related to MFSR—an internal term for PSSR—focusing on achieving higher frame rates. This advancement could make it a competitive alternative to TAA for improving image quality.
He emphasized, “They’re aiming to develop this technology as a replacement for TAA in nearly all titles enhanced for the PS5 Pro, ensuring that gamers experience superior image quality even when they choose not to enable PSSR for elevated frame rates.”
