Recently, in an interview with Digital Foundry of Digital Foundry, PS5 chief architect Mark Cerny revealed that PS5 Pro will upgrade its super-resolution technology PSSR next year, allowing it to produce similar effects to AMD's FSR 4 upgrade technology.
Mark Cerny said in an interview that in 2025, Sony will focus on the current version of PSSR and let external developers implement the feature, but in 2026, their goal is to launch an upgraded version similar to FSR 4 on the PS5 Pro, which should take the same input and produce essentially the same output as the next evolution of PSSR.
The enhanced PSSR is also the first result of Sony's collaboration with AMD, which Mark Cerny calls “very outstanding”, saying: “It's a more advanced approach, with clarity that can surpass PSSR. I'm very proud of the work of the joint team!”
In addition, Mark Cerny also believes that although this requires strong computing power, the PS5 Pro architecture is capable of running FSR 4-like technologies."That's what we're aiming for, and we believe we can achieve it. The peak performance figure for the PS5 Pro is 300 8-bit TOPS (no sparsity), which is excellent compared to the recently released AMD GPU."
