@Scottyy and once again Framerate is not really influenced by the PSSR upscaler. PSSR 2 is better, means that devs are able to lower the native res a bit more eventually.
A game like GTA is heavily CPU bounded, something that PSSR won’t change.
But overall PSSR 2 won’t bring any noticeable fps boosts to games in some magically way.
@MrPeanutbutterz There’s no need to hustle around a pre-order. It’s nothing special or anything that will be sold out. Wait for the reviews next week and then let’s see. A game of this size will of course get tons of additional patches over the upcoming months. No need to rush here.
@revansgc userbase still too low, probably more tech enthusiasts that aren’t so much into these colorful accessories. I don’t know. Most likely AliExpress will offer theses ones also for the pro.
@1970sGamer true but also the ps blog said that there will be the system toggle and some games will be updated. We’re going to see both. Devs can still apply some changes to their games to make them work „better“ with PSSR2. Would be also possible to probably lower the res a little bit increase details, do some further work on some assets.
@OldGamer999 Bro honestly hasn’t this been captured by several comments and articles so far? Doesn’t get it to see the same questions over and over again.
@Oram77 Konami will find a way. Don’t use PSSR for example. Switch back to FSR 1.0 in their engines No release date given. Only „March“. I would guess there is still testing going on by the devs studios how their games react and look with the „forced“ system toggle. Hopefully we get the system update next week. Stunning time.
@RedRiot193 ah come on atmosphere and visuals are really great. In terms of the strange X-Files story it’s also not my favourite but it’s still an amazing game.
I would strongly agree here. RT can be pretty impressive but it doesn’t have to make a game look better everytime. Even with static lightning we saw and still see amazing results. RT, especially on consoles, is heavy and often cause visual issues. Often it’s not worth it.
@Oram77 would def definitely agree here but it would be also interesting to see how PSSR2 performs in terms of image quality against a title where PSSR1 was almost flawless. Wouldn’t expect a huge change in this game but it would be interesting to see.
@SodaPop6548 their focus was on the ps version. It’s pretty obvious that the version they have currently on the consoles isn’t good enough - otherwise we would already have seen footage of it. They trying to optimise it as much as they can but it wouldn’t have hopes for stunning specs and performance of this heavy game. Let’s wait the reviews of the final product on the consoles.
Think the intro scene in this game at the church during night in the beginning is still visually absolutely impressive. Good game overall. Can remember when it got a huge patch back then on ps4 with around 12-18 Gb. Huge patch during this time, more or less a standard size or nothing special these days
The image shown as header of the article is really misleading because it has barely anything to do with the new PSSR version at all. It’s a different lighting due to RT and mostly not the most favourable shot of the base ps5 version.
Don’t like this approach because there is already so much misunderstand of all this stuff by many people. Doesn’t get better with these misleading examples.
@nomither6 you are probably one of these PC guys owning a lower end PC that’s below the base ps5 and spends his leisure time online to flex against consoles xD
@badbob001 disabling it wouldn’t make sense because devs using these upscalers in their games. It’s the same as you would demand for an FSR toggle in the base ps5 games. It’s not that easy as you might think.
@nomither6 these Hardware comments are so dumb all the time. Ps6 is than what a ps5 should have been in your opinion? Not every game running in 4K/120 then and then it’s again a disappointing? Bro come on.
Also curious to see how Jedi Survivor looks with the new PSSR. And how PSSR will now compare to UE5s own upscaling. So far this was most often much better as PSSR in these games - Hellblade 2 as the only exception. Can’t wait for all these comparisons by DF and others.
@Scottyy the framerate itself isn’t that much related to an upscaler like PSSR. There is no frame generation part of this upscaler.
An upscaler gives you room to let your game render with a lower internet resolution (1080p or a little bit lower) and save on additional costs for anti aliasing. The upscaler itself needs of course some processing power as well but not as much as a native 4K rendering.
With saving these performance costs it gives the devs more room for higher framerate and more details.
@Angelus3K sadly it’s not there in the beta. I hope it will be accessible in one of the next beta updates. Would love to try this out as soon as possible.
@Rich33 yes, with the toggle you can apply PSSR 2 to all existing PSSR titles. But still some devs might will fuehrer update their games to apply some changes to their games to let them run better with the new PSSR.
@LiamCroft it’s already used in the new resident evil. The toggle to activate it in older PSSR games will be added with a system software update on march. There is currently a beta firmware test for the ps5 (pro) but the toggle isn’t included as it seems.
@cainhurst94 same thing here that we already are at a pretty good visual quality for games. These more in depth features of the pro console aren’t that easy to show and most often not so interesting for the average gamer, which is also ok in my opinion.

Re: Sony Confirms Big PS5 Pro Upgrade Is Out in March, Better PSSR Upscaler
@Scottyy yeah true but you can’t go too low in terms of resolution. 1080p is a good value. Probably, depending on the game, ~900p is suitable too.
Re: Sony Confirms Big PS5 Pro Upgrade Is Out in March, Better PSSR Upscaler
@kmtrain83 perfect solution. you got it - PSSR is just for hairs. Every game without hairs won’t benefit from this upscaler. Ps5 pro is still a scam!
Re: Sony Confirms Big PS5 Pro Upgrade Is Out in March, Better PSSR Upscaler
@OldGamer999 Same just upgraded recently to a 65 inch Tv. Also got an Atmos Soundsystem. Can’t wait for GTA.
Re: Sony Confirms Big PS5 Pro Upgrade Is Out in March, Better PSSR Upscaler
@GhostOfSparta82K as already said, the upscaler has barely anything to do with framerates.

Re: Sony Confirms Big PS5 Pro Upgrade Is Out in March, Better PSSR Upscaler
@Rich33 exactly this!
Still curious which older games might get an additional patch.
Re: Sony Confirms Big PS5 Pro Upgrade Is Out in March, Better PSSR Upscaler
In the current system software beta the toggle isn’t included, sadly
Re: Sony Confirms Big PS5 Pro Upgrade Is Out in March, Better PSSR Upscaler
@LiamCroft it’s already used in the new resident evil. The toggle to activate it in older PSSR games will be added with a system software update on march.
There is currently a beta firmware test for the ps5 (pro) but the toggle isn’t included as it seems.
Re: Sony Confirms Big PS5 Pro Upgrade Is Out in March, Better PSSR Upscaler
