Next Big PS5 Exclusive Confirms Huge PS5 Pro Upgrade
Key Points:
- The upcoming PS5 exclusive game "Saros," releasing on April 30, will support the PS5 Pro's upgraded AI upscaling technology, PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution 2 (PSSR 2), promising enhanced image quality and higher frame rates.
- PSSR 2 is an advanced version of the PS5 Pro's original AI upscaling feature, which significantly improves game visuals by reducing artifacts and boosting resolution, but has seen limited adoption by developers until now.
- Developed by Housemarque, known for the critically acclaimed 2021 game Returnal, Saros is highly anticipated and represents one of the few titles this year to fully utilize PS5 Pro enhancements.
- The PS5 Pro has struggled with limited developer support and hardware upgrades since its launch, making Saros’ support for PSSR 2 a notable exception and a potential turning point for the console's appeal.
- With only about 33% of PlayStation’s 2024 releases enhanced for PS5 Pro, Saros stands out as a key title showcasing the benefits of the console's premium features.
