Improved PSSR can also be enabled for existing supported games via PS5 Pro’s optional system setting.
Today’s PS5 system software update introduces broad support for the upgraded version of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), delivering enhanced image stability, improved clarity in fine details, and more consistent performance across supported titles.
PSSR is an AI library that analyzes each frame pixel by pixel as it upscales game visuals. With this latest evolution, image reconstruction is more precise, motion stability is improved, and developers have greater flexibility to balance performance and fidelity on PS5 Pro.
Several partners are already integrating the upgraded PSSR into their titles and have shared their impressions of the results.
First, we’re happy to share that two of Konami’s titles, SILENT HILL 2 and SILENT HILL f, are upgrading to use this new technology to great effect. Here’s what the team behind SILENT HILL f had to say:
“With the latest PSSR update, SILENT HILL f now delivers an even smoother gameplay experience than before.
Fine details – from swaying blades of grass to shadows cast across the ground – are rendered with greater clarity, deepening immersion in the fog-shrouded Japan of the 1960s.
Whether you’ve already played the game or are experiencing it for the first time, we invite you to enjoy finding the “beauty in terror” with the newly evolved PS5 Pro.”

The benefits of the upgraded PSSR extend across genres, including large-scale RPG experiences such as Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
“We’re happy to share that Dragon Age: The Veilguard now supports the new PSSR on PS5 Pro, further enhancing the visual experience for our players.With the new PSSR, we’re delivering a meaningful improvement in image quality while still maintaining stable framerates in Fidelity and Performance modes. Your adventures in Thedas will now feel smoother and more visually refined.”

Remedy Entertainment is bringing the upgraded PSSR to both Control and Alan Wake 2, highlighting noticeable improvements in image stability and motion clarity across both titles.
“It is great to see PlayStation being able to push even further what is possible on the PlayStation 5 Pro hardware. The great thing is that these improvements will be available to all PlayStation 5 Pro owners.The upgraded PSSR improves image upscaling quality and stability. The improvements allow efficient stochastic sampling without sacrificing image stability. The new PSSR responds quickly to visibility changes in games, keeping motion clear while improving temporal stability. Control and, especially, Alan Wake 2 benefit from these improvements on the Pro, resulting in better, more stable image quality.
