\"'It's<\/a><\/p>\n

Sony\u2019s not been shy about the fact that it\u2019s actively working on improvements to the PS5 Pro, and specifically its PSSR<\/strong><\/a> upscaling technology.<\/p>\n

Support for the system has been mixed since the supercharged system\u2019s release in 2024: some games benefit greatly from the enhanced hardware, while others have undoubtedly underwhelmed.<\/p>\n

Hardware snoop Moore\u2019s Law Is Dead<\/a> spoke to an anonymous developer about what fans can expect from future upgrades, and the improvements are said to be \u201chuge\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Without getting too deeply into the weeds, as part of its work on Project Amethyst with AMD<\/a> \u2013 which is also laying the groundwork for the PS6 \u2013 the platform holder plans to introduce a new version of PSSR next year which will greatly improve image quality.<\/p>\n

This will resolve higher quality images without the need for certain parts of input data, suggesting to us that it\u2019ll still produce a clean image from an imperfect source. It\u2019ll also, as a result, decrease the amount of memory required to run and reduce GPU processing times.<\/p>\n

So, in short, it\u2019ll produce a cleaner image quicker with less memory \u2013 all things, we can agree, sound like positives overall.<\/p>\n

Sony also seems to be aware that some games have been suffering with artifacting issues, and so it\u2019s built a tool which can help developers detect those issues quicker. The theory being, we suppose, that if the problems are easier to find they can be fixed must faster.<\/p>\n

The downside to all this is it sounds like existing games will need to be patched to take advantage of the new features, so you\u2019ll be relying on the support of your favourite developers yet again.<\/p>\n

However, if it\u2019s able to get the tech into the hands of Rockstar as early as possible, then there\u2019s every chance GTA 6<\/a> may ship with these features at launch. And that\u2019s going to sell a lot of PS5 Pro consoles, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
