Sony is reportedly preparing a big update for the PS5 and PS5 Pro with improvements to PSSR 2.0 upscaling
PC Guide • • technology
Key Points:
- Sony is testing PS5 system software update 14.0 in beta, which includes several system-level improvements, with the most significant upgrade targeted at PS5 Pro owners.
- The update will introduce PSSR 2.0, an enhanced AI-powered upscaling technology enabled by default on PS5 Pro, improving image quality by reducing artifacts and flickering without requiring game-specific patches.
- Standard PS5 consoles will receive firmware 14.0 but will not benefit from the upgraded PSSR features exclusive to the PS5 Pro.
- Firmware 14.0 will also change Bluetooth behavior, preventing the PS5 from entering Rest Mode or using HDMI Link when Bluetooth is disabled, a feature aimed at reducing wireless interference in settings like esports tournaments.
- Additional improvements in the update focus on interface performance, system stability, and console services, with the final release expected to roll out to all users in September.
