PS5 Pro Owners to Receive PSSR 2.0 Update Within the Next Couple Months

Multiple industry insiders are reporting that PlayStation 5 Pro owners can expect a significant system update in the near future, bringing enhanced upscaling technology to Sony’s premium console.

What We Know

According to sources, the PSSR 2.0 (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution 2.0) update will roll out gradually between January and March, with some select users potentially already receiving access to the new technology.

The update promises to deliver substantial improvements in both performance and image quality. Early reports suggest that PSSR 2.0 is comparable to AMD’s FSR4 technology in terms of capabilities, though it’s been specifically optimized for the PS5 Pro’s hardware architecture.

Performance Gains

One of the most notable aspects of this update is its ability to boost performance even in titles that were already running at 70-80 fps. This suggests that the new upscaling technology is more efficient than its predecessor, allowing games to maintain higher frame rates while delivering improved visual fidelity.

The Catch

However, there’s an important caveat: game developers will need to individually optimize their titles to take advantage of PSSR 2.0. This means that players won’t see automatic improvements across their entire library. Only games that receive developer updates to support the new technology will benefit from the enhanced performance and image quality.

As the rollout progresses over the coming months, it will be interesting to see which developers prioritize PSSR 2.0 support and how significantly it impacts the gaming experience on PS5 Pro.
