PS5 Pro Faces Criticism Over Image Quality in Key Titles

New console's upscaling technology struggles with visual artifacts, prompting developer responses.

The PS5 Pro, launched at $700, is encountering image quality issues across several games, including Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Silent Hill 2.
Sony's PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling technology is reportedly causing a 'shimmering' effect, particularly in games with ray tracing or complex graphics.
Developers like Bloober Team and EA have acknowledged the problems and are working on patches to address the visual flaws.
Digital Foundry's analysis highlights that the PS5 Pro's performance in some games is inferior to the base PS5, raising concerns about the console's value.
Some PS5 Pro owners are calling for the option to disable the enhanced modes, allowing games to run in their original PS5 settings.
