Leaks Point to PS5 Pro ‘PSSR 2.0’ in Q1 With FSR4-Like Upscaling and Frame-Rate Gains

Sony has not confirmed the reports, after PSSR 1.0 drew criticism for inconsistent results.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets cite Japanese X user @Gust_FAN saying the PSSR 2.0 firmware could arrive between January and March 2026.
  • Leaks describe an upscaler comparable to AMD’s FSR4 intended to improve image clarity on PS5 Pro.
  • Reported performance benefits include higher frame rates for titles that currently hover around 70–80 FPS.
  • Older, lower-resolution PlayStation games are said to get automatic upscaling to higher resolutions on PS5 Pro.
  • The claims also mention new developer debugging tools, with earlier reporting linked to Moore’s Law Is Dead, and all details remain unconfirmed by Sony.
