Rumor – PS5 Pro Set For Major FSR 4 Powered Upgrade To PSSR In Early 2026
The PS5 Pro is already a powerhouse, but Sony is making it look even better. An already announced major update will bring AMD’s FSR 4 technology to the console to essentially update the current version of PSSR. It will enhance the PS5 Pro’s PSSR upscaling. Mark Cerny calls this the “next evolution” of PlayStation’s visual tech. Players can expect sharper details, cleaner images, and a noticeable boost to the experience.
PSSR, or PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, is Sony’s custom upscaling solution. Together with FSR 4, it improves clarity and performance without pushing the Pro beyond its limits. This upgrade isn’t about catching up. It’s about enhancing a system that’s already top-tier, giving owners even more reason to enjoy it.
Sony hasn’t confirmed a release date. However, well-known leaker Moore’s Law Is Dead suggests it could arrive in the first quarter of 2026. While still a rumor, Moore’s Law Is Dead has accurately predicted hardware news before. If true, developers could get early access. Games could support the improvements right away.
Even if the timeline shifts, Sony’s confirmation shows long-term support. With FSR 4 taking PSSR up another level, the PS5 Pro will deliver visuals beyond its original mid-cycle capability. Players chasing the sharpest experience have even more reason to be excited.
