#PSSR AI upscaling

Sony’s PlayStation 5 Pro is making waves in the gaming industry with its newly introduced PSSR AI upscaling technology, which aims to provide a performance boost that could rival Nvidia’s DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling). While AMD’s FSR 3.1 (FidelityFX Super Resolution) struggles to catch up, the PS5 Pro’s PSSR could become a game-changer for the console’s graphics and performance capabilities. The PSSR (PlayStation Super Resolution) technology was revealed during a presentation by PlayStation’s Lead Designer Mark Cerny, and it has since sparked discussions among gamers and tech enthusiasts alike. Although the initial reception to the PS5 Pro was mixed—mainly due to its pricing, which starts at $699.99 (around £699 / AU$1,199.95)—the upscaling potential of PSSR has positioned it as a key selling point for the console.

Digital Foundry’s analysis of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart using PSSR at ‘Performance Mode’ found a noticeable improvement over FSR 3.1, which could give PlayStation an edge in providing a superior gaming experience on the PS5 Pro.
