Assassin’s Creed Shadows to Add PSSR 2 on PS5 Pro April 7

Ubisoft touts clearer motion, sharper foliage, cleaner ray-traced effects across all modes.

Overview

  • Ubisoft confirmed PSSR 2 support for Assassin’s Creed Shadows on PS5 Pro with the next Title Update 1.1.9.
  • PSSR 2 is Sony’s AI upscaler that raises image clarity in Performance, Balanced, and Quality modes while easing the usual trade-off between frame rate and resolution.
  • Ubisoft says motion looks smoother with fewer flickers in fast scenes, a common pain point for older upscalers.
  • Fine detail in grass and branches holds together better, and ray‑traced shadows and reflections show less grain, with particle effects like smoke and fog looking cleaner.
  • Developers report only minor code changes to integrate the upgrade, and early coverage says the results bring PS5 Pro closer to PC upscaling tools.
