If the report is true, PlayStation 5 Pro consoles could get a major boost in FPS and resolution clarity for free.<\/p>\n<p>PS5 Pro Feature Reportedly Leaked<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"526\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pssr-ps5-pro-feature.jpg\" alt=\"PSSR PS5 Pro Feature\" class=\"wp-image-1934258\"  \/>Screenshot: PlayStation<\/p>\n<p>When PlayStation 5 Pro launched in 2024, one of the big promises of the console was PSSR. The new anti-aliasing feature would reportedly allow games to more easily hit 4K and 60FPS. However, the AA option has been pretty disappointing, as many games have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/some-games-are-taking-the-pssr-on-ps5-pro-look-worse-than-base-model\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">had issues implementing<\/a> it. However, according to a new leak from Moore\u2019s Law Is Dead, the PS5 Pro is reportedly going to get an update in 2026 that adds PSSR2, which is a major upgrade to the feature.<\/p>\n<p>In his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g38VR-GJp7o&amp;t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">December 5 video<\/a>, the tech expert revealed the leak came from a PS5 developer. \u201cSomething called \u2018Multi-Frame Super Resolution 2\u2019 or \u2018MFSR2\u2019 is now referenced in some documents we have access to (internally, PSSR is called \u2018MFSR1\u2019). MFSR2 apparently uses an updated algorithm that \u2018reduces the need for some pieces of input data,\u2019 decreases the amount of memory used, and \u2018shortens GPU processing times\u2019 while delivering (allegedly) better image quality. It uses an entirely new AP,I too. This is not some \u20180.5\u2019 upgrade, it\u2019s huge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"526\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pssr2-ps5-pro-feature.jpg\" alt=\"PSSR2 PS5 Pro Feature\" class=\"wp-image-1934257\"  \/>Screenshot: PlayStation<\/p>\n<p>However, the most interesting part of this leak is that PSSR2 reportedly fixes a lot of issues that are currently present in the PS5 anti-aliasing option. \u201cSo, it seems clear that PS5 Pro will get an improved \u2018PSSR2\u2019 in addition to FSR 4 support in 2026. It\u2019s a BIG upgrade, and they will reduce how often games have PSSR issues!\u201d Now, even if you are skeptical of PSSR, news about PlayStation 5 getting FSR 4 support is a pretty big deal in itself!<\/p>\n<p>PS5 Pro PSSR2 Is Apparently a \u201cMassive Overhaul\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"526\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/playstation-5-pro-trailer.jpg\" alt=\"PlayStation 5 Pro Trailer\" class=\"wp-image-1934259\"  \/>Screenshot: PlayStation<\/p>\n<p>According to Moore\u2019s Law Is Dead, the PSSR2 update is going to be a pretty substantial upgrade. In fact, the tech insider actually compared the jump in quality to what we\u2019ll see when FSR 3 gets upgraded to FSR 4 on December 10, 2025. Which, if you are a tech enthusiast, you know is one of the most anticipated updates in the PC gaming space.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPSSR2 is going to be like FSR 3 to FSR 4. I want to be clear, that is what they are saying behind the scenes. This should be like the quality increase (PSSR to PSSR2), like FSR 3 to FSR 4. It\u2019s not just like a checkbox thing. The devs actually have to patch their game and use a new API. It is a COMPLETE overhaul of PSSR.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Future PlayStation Consoles May Get PSSR3 and Beyond<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tPlay video<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1764962171_866_hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Play\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the final point Moore\u2019s Law Is Dead makes is that PSSR is here to stay. According to the insider, PlayStation doesn\u2019t want to have to rely on AMD\u2019s FSR for upcoming titles. So moving forward, we are likely to see PSSR3 and beyond implemented on PS6 and future devices. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSony are happy that AMD are going to be adding FSR 4 to PS5 Pro support next year. But they want their own thing. They want to match or beat FSR 4 as well, I\u2019m being told.\u201d If all of this is true, it means that Sony is looking to compete with AMD\u2019s anti-aliasing technology. Still, at least it seems that PS5 Pro users will have a choice between the two AA options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new leak claims that the PS5 Pro will get a new performance-enhancing feature in 2026.
