Overview

• Sony will deliver the full-fat upgrade of its PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution system to PS5 Pro in 2026 as a drop-in replacement for the existing upscaler.
• The enhanced upscaler is co-developed with AMD under Project Amethyst and is already released on PC as FidelityFX Super Resolution 4.
• Development was completed in about nine months, outpacing initial expectations for the collaboration.
• PSSR’s initial rollout drew criticism for reduced visual fidelity in games like Silent Hill 2 and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, prompting Sony to pursue the overhaul.
• Sony plans to make the co-developed upscaling technology freely available to all AMD customers to encourage broader industry adoption.
