Mark Cerny, lead architect of PlayStation 5, has disclosed that Sony’s partnership with AMD will incorporate certain features from FSR 4 into PSSR (PlayStation Streaming Service). In an interview with Eurogamer, Cerny explained the synergy between Sony and AMD, and how advancements in AMD’s machine learning have led to enhancements in FSR 4 that could potentially be applied to the future PS5 Pro as well.
For 2025, our goal is collaborating with developers to incorporate the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) into their games; simultaneously, we’ve already begun introducing the latest neural network on the PS5 Pro. This was mentioned by Cerny, discussing the image upscaling technology in the PS5 Pro.
As a passionate fan, I’m excited about the news that Sony, according to Mark Cerny, is aiming to enhance the PlayStation SSR (Solid State Storage) to match the quality seen with AMD’s latest FSR 4 upscaling technology. Although it won’t be an identical implementation of the technology on the console, Cerny suggests that Sony can refine it to a point where providing similar inputs would yield comparable outcomes.
According to Cerny, our goal is to bring a technology similar to FSR 4’s upscaler to the PS5 Pro for games released in 2026. This technology represents the next step in PSSR evolution and will process inputs in much the same way as FSR 4 while delivering comparable outputs. However, implementing this technology is quite challenging and time-consuming, which is why it hasn’t been introduced on PS5 Pro yet.
Additionally, Cerny clarified that the FSR 4 feature specifically isn’t planned for the PS5 Pro. Instead, the partnership between Sony and AMD is focused on leveraging comparable machine learning technologies to enhance the Performance Streaming Spatial Resolution (PSSR) capabilities.
That’s our goal, and we think we can make it happen,” he went on to say. “The maximum performance of the PS5 Pro, measured in 8-bit TOPS, stands at 300 without sparsity, which is impressive when compared to the latest AMD GPUs. We don’t find sparsity beneficial for this specific upscaling method.
In the latest version of AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), machine learning technology is employed to generate significantly enhanced upscaled images compared to previous versions. Notably, FSR 4 was launched alongside AMD’s new lineup of graphics cards and can only be accessed on these newly released GPUs, unlike the usual backward compatibility of FSR.
It’s been made clear by AMD that their collaboration with Sony, named Project Amethyst, will center around FSR 4 to some extent. Although specifics weren’t disclosed initially, it has been known for a while that Sony contributed to the development of FSR 4 by assisting in training its machine learning models.
To experience AMD’s FSR 4 firsthand, your best bet at the moment is by utilizing one of their recently launched GPUs – the Radeon RX 9070 and the RX 9070 XT. These GPUs have just been released, aiming to challenge Nvidia’s current mid-range options: the GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti, respectively.
This year, AMD is planning to add more affordable graphics cards to its new product range – the Radeon RX 9060 and the RX 9060 XT, which they will release later on.
