Rumour: New PS5 Pro Update Could Give Frame Rates and Resolutions a Massive Boost

According to recent speculation, it seems that Sony might be working on an upgrade for the PS5 that could potentially boost gaming performance dramatically.

The AI-powered upscaling software, known as PSSR and a fundamental part of the PS5 Pro’s features, appears to be central to these rumored improvements. As reported by Moore’s Law Is Dead on YouTube (as detailed by TechRadar), a significant overhaul of this PSSR technology is said to be underway at Sony.

Essentially, the transformation is so significant that the platform refers to it as if it’s a completely new version, almost like “PSSR 2”. The key point is that developers will have more flexibility to reduce their games’ resolutions, which in turn enhances performance. Meanwhile, an advanced iteration of PSSR ensures a better visual experience by compensating for the decrease in image quality.

Additionally, reports state that Sony, through PSSR (President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment), plans to achieve 4K resolution at 120 frames per second, as well as 8K resolution at 60 frames per second. If these claims are accurate, this would represent a significant leap in capabilities compared to what the PS5 Pro can currently manage.

In various PlayStation 5 titles so far, PSSR (PlayStation State of Play) has proven its ability to enhance the graphics significantly. For instance, Assassin’s Creed Shadows employs this technology to boost visual details noticeably without compromising a steady 60fps performance.

However, the Performance Shader Cache (PSSR) needs to be implemented correctly for noticeable improvements to occur. Consequently, an upgrade to the PS5 Pro won’t automatically result in significant performance enhancements across all games.

Nonetheless, it has consistently been apparent that the console serves as a trial ground for technology such as PSSR. It is quite evident that Sony is likely putting in considerable effort in the background, striving to advance their software, in preparation for the upcoming PS6.

Is there a possibility that we might witness a significant update for the PlayStation 5 Pro in the near future? Feel free to express your thoughts about AI upscaling technology in the comment area below.
