Mark Cerny, the lead architect of the PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro, told Digital Foundry<\/a> that ML-based frame generation tech is coming to \u201cPlayStation platforms\u201d in the future, letting the game console use AI to imagine new frames between the ones it\u2019s actually rendering, which can create smoother perceived image quality while (typically) introducing some amount of lag. At least, that\u2019s how it works on PCs, where critics call them \u201cfake frames.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cerny previously suggested the PS6 wouldn\u2019t arrive before 2027<\/a> at the earliest, and that\u2019s also true of this ML-based frame generation. \u201cAll I can say is that we have no more releases planned for this year. And that I look forward to discussing this more in the future,\u201d he told Digital Foundry.<\/p>\n

But if the PS6 is delayed, Sony might want to try to get more out of the existing PS5 Pro in the meanwhile.<\/p>\n

This won\u2019t be the first implementation of frame gen on console. The PS5 already offers<\/a> AMD FSR3 frame generation in some games<\/a>, but FSR3 doesn\u2019t have the machine learning support. It\u2019s interpolating between real frames, rather than AI imagining what should be between them.<\/p>\n

Nvidia and AMD typically warn that frame generation isn\u2019t a solve for low frame rate, because you need a relatively stable frame rate to begin with for the technique to work. I don\u2019t typically use it on gaming handhelds, where I might only get 30 to 40fps to begin with on a title, and on my desktop where I can easily get 90fps on higher settings, I usually prefer leaving it off. There are some edge cases where I enjoy it, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mark Cerny, the lead architect of the PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro, told Digital Foundry that ML-based frame…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":550138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[15257,49,48,874,44,8713,64,61],"class_list":["post-550137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-amd","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-gaming","tag-news","tag-playstation","tag-tech","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=550137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/550138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=550137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=550137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=550137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
