\"'Onwards<\/a> Image: Push Square<\/p>\n

Mark Cerny doesn\u2019t post on X<\/a> (or Twitter<\/a>) very much, but when he drops by to tell us about his latest Platinum Trophy<\/a>, it feels authentic.<\/p>\n

This exchange with AMD\u2019s Jack Huynh, however, reads like poorly disguised PR.<\/p>\n

Alongside an image showing four different screenshots \u2013 with each game\u2019s logo carefully overlaid in the corners \u2013 Cerny said he \u201cjust tried FSR upscaling 4.1 in a few PC games\u201d.<\/p>\n

He explained<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s based on the same neural network as the upgraded PSSR we released for PS5 Pro and it looks stunning! Wonderful working with Jack Huynh and the AMD team as we collaborate on AI graphics tech. Big win for Project Amethyst.\u201d<\/p>\n

Project Amethyst is the joint collaboration between PlayStation and AMD<\/a> which is informing the future of the former\u2019s PSSR technology and the latter\u2019s FSR upscaler.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s expected that the work being done here will eventually be incorporated into PS6.<\/p>\n

Within five minutes, Huynh immediately responded to Cerny\u2019s message.<\/p>\n

He said<\/a>: \u201cThanks so much, Mark Cerny! Thrilled to see AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 delivering stunning results in PC games, built on the same neural network foundation as the upgraded PSSR for PS5 Pro. Project Amethyst has been an absolute pleasure and a true co-engineering success with you and the PlayStation team. Grateful for the partnership, onward to more graphics breakthroughs!\u201d<\/p>\n

This reads like total marketing to us, perhaps in response to Nvidia\u2019s recent DLSS 5 blunder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The way the messages are so carefully written, to acknowledge both FSR and PSSR, gives us the impression that the pair published these in order to remind everyone about Project Amethyst.<\/p>\n

To be fair, the collaboration does look like it\u2019s been a success so far.<\/p>\n

AMD had a lot of work to do to catch up to DLSS, but it\u2019s largely closed the gap with the latest versions of its FSR upscaler. Similarly, PSSR 2 has been getting rave reviews so far<\/a>, and has helped the PS5 Pro sell out more recently<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All of this bodes well for the PS6, of course, which is expected to use the very latest version of PlayStation and AMD\u2019s technology.<\/p>\n
