Key Points:
- Sony has released a new PlayStation 5 firmware beta for members of its beta program, introducing key features primarily benefiting PS5 Pro owners.
- The update sets Sony's upgraded PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) 2.0 AI upscaling technology as the default for all games on PS5 Pro, replacing the previous version 1.0 unless manually disabled.
- PSSR 2.0, which debuted with Resident Evil Requiem, improves image quality over the initial PSSR but was previously only available for select games or via a forced toggle in firmware settings.
- The beta also introduces an option to completely disable Bluetooth on PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles in certain regions, which also turns off HDMI link and Rest Mode functionality.
- This Bluetooth disable feature is aimed at esports venues and environments with multiple consoles to reduce interference and simplify controller pairing.
