Overview
- IO Interactive and PlayStation confirmed the PS5 Pro version will ship with PSSR2 upscaling and all enhancements active on day one.
- PSSR2, Sony’s in‑house upscaler for PS5 Pro, is said to deliver cleaner, more stable images with sharper fine detail like hair, fabric, and dense foliage.
- Technical director Henrik Schlichter said the upgrade meaningfully improves clarity and reduces shimmering, flicker, and other reconstruction noise.
- Principal render engineer Jon Rocatis said the team integrated the upgraded PSSR in about a day with no per‑scene tuning required.
- Players on base PS5 will use AMD’s FSR 3.1.5 upscaling, which reports suggest will not match the image quality seen on PS5 Pro, and outlets list late‑May launch dates that differ, so buyers should check official store pages.
