PlayStation 5 Pro 'Enhance PSSR Image Quality' Toggle Will Not Be Updated for Newer Upscaler Versions, Says Mark Cerny
Key Points:
- PlayStation 5 Lead System Architect Mark Cerny confirmed that the PS5 Pro Enhance PSSR Image Quality toggle will not receive updates with new versions of the upscaling technology to maintain a consistent standard for the community.
- This decision means that games supporting only the initial version of the upscaler will not benefit from future automated improvements unless developers release manual updates.
- If a future PSSR 3.0 version is released, games using PSSR 2.0 will not automatically upgrade through the toggle without dedicated patches or a reversal of this policy by Sony.
- The recent launch of PSSR 2.0 has already brought significant image quality enhancements to several major titles, indicating promising advancements for the technology’s future.
- The PSSR tech is expected to evolve further, potentially including frame generation, and will likely play a key role in the upcoming PlayStation 6.
