\"'It's<\/a> Image: Digital Foundry<\/a><\/p>\n

PSSR<\/a>, or PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, is getting a behemoth upgrade<\/a> \u2013 and you can test it right now in Resident Evil Requiem<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sony\u2019s confirmed that a universal toggle<\/a> will be added to its supercharged system in March, potentially allowing all PSSR supported software to benefit from the upgrade \u2013 no patches required.<\/p>\n

And, as more games ship throughout the year, many of them will be supporting the upgraded upscaler \u2013 including, we assume, the likes of Marvel\u2019s Wolverine<\/a> and potentially even GTA 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While impressions are limited to Capcom\u2019s horror opus for now, the results are promising. Tech experts Digital Foundry<\/a> note this is the \u201creal deal\u201d in their reporting.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Early analysis shows the new version of PSSR stacking up relatively well against its PC-based counterparts, FSR4 and DLSS 4.5. There\u2019s some extremely minor aliasing in some instances, but Sony\u2019s solution compares favourably with both \u2013 especially on a 4K panel at a comfortable seating distance.<\/p>\n

Crucially, many of the issues with the original PSSR appear to have been resolved, and the hope is that the new universal toggle will solve \u2013 or, at least, improve \u2013 those issues reported in titles like Silent Hill F<\/a> and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater<\/a> in the past.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a promising start, then, and we\u2019ll allow Digital Foundry\u2019s Alex Battaglia to sum it up:<\/p>\n

\u201cPSSR 2.0 passes the \u2018it\u2019s more than good enough\u2019 test for me. Like, when I talk about the differences between it and FSR4 and DLSS 4.5, they\u2019re not actually that important. For me, it hits the \u2018it\u2019s good enough that I\u2019m playing the game and it\u2019s not bothering me anymore\u2019 unlike problem areas with FS3 or PSSR 1.0. This is good enough, I don\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Machine learning upscalers, like PSSR, always tend to improve with time \u2013 and hardware architect Mark Cerny did promise that would be the case with the PS5 Pro, too. Now we\u2019re seeing the results in action.<\/p>\n

The really promising news here is that it\u2019s almost certain PS6 will be taking advantage of the same kind of technology, so even if you don\u2019t plan to invest in the PS5 Pro, you\u2019ll be reaping the benefits when Sony\u2019s new hardware eventually arrives<\/a>.<\/p>\n
