Sony’s new PS5 Pro beta update automatically enables PSSR 2.0 for every game
Notebookcheck • • technology
Key Points:
- Sony is updating its PS5 system software beta to enable the PSSR 2.0 upscaler by default for all PS5 Pro games, enhancing visual fidelity and reducing frame rate drops automatically.
- Previously, users had to manually activate the “Enhance PSSR Image Quality” setting, which many may not have known about, but now PSSR 2.0 runs across all games without user intervention.
- PSSR 2.0, introduced in March 2026 alongside Resident Evil: Requiem, improves upon the original PSSR feature that launched in November 2024 but had issues like ghosting and blurriness in high-fidelity titles.
- The technology behind PSSR 2.0 is closely linked to AMD’s FSR 4 INT8 machine learning algorithm, developed in partnership with AMD under the codename Amethyst.
- Players can still disable PSSR 2.0 if they prefer original game visuals, but the feature is currently only available to PS5 Pro Beta Program participants, with no confirmed date for full public release.
