Speaking to Digital Foundry, Cerny was full of praise for AMD's FSR 4 release, saying that the upscaler surpasses the work Sony has done with its PS5 Pro-exclusive solution, PSSR. "And results are excellent, it's a more advanced approach that can exceed the crispness of PSSR," Cerny explained. "I'm very proud of the work of the joint team!"

PS5 lead architect Mark Cerny has shared that the PS5 Pro system will receive an upgrade to its PSSR feature next year that should allow it to produce similar results to the FSR 4 upscaling technology from AMD.

The PlayStation 5 Pro is already an incredibly powerful console, but players can expect it to get a major graphical boost in 2026.

Many new PS5 Pro games already use an AI upscaler called “PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution” (PSSR) on their AMD-based chips. PSSR can turn 720p images into 4K ones on the fly while adding extra particle effects, and we’ve been relatively impressed by its quality compared to, say, FSR 3.

The PS5 Pro could be getting similar tech to AMD’s new version of FSR next year. AMD released the next generation of their graphics cards, the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT, last week. They’re built around their new RDNA 4 architecture, which includes hardware support for a new version of FidelityFX Super Resolution, called FSR 4.
