The $700 PlayStation 5 Pro already delivers sharper, smoother, and more stable graphics than the standard PS5<\/strong>. But in 2026<\/strong>, Sony plans to take visual fidelity even further by integrating a new AI-powered upscaling technique<\/strong>, based on AMD\u2019s FSR 4<\/strong>, which has already debuted in AMD\u2019s latest RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PlayStation\u2019s lead architect, Mark Cerny<\/strong>, confirmed the company\u2019s vision, stating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cOur target is to have something very similar to FSR 4\u2019s upscaler available on PS5 Pro for 2026 titles as the next evolution of PSSR.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Many PS5 Pro<\/strong> games already use PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR)<\/strong>, an AI-based upscaler<\/strong> that can convert 720p images to 4K<\/strong> while enhancing visual elements like particle effects<\/strong>. Compared to AMD\u2019s FSR 3<\/strong>, PSSR has shown impressive results, but Sony isn\u2019t stopping there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a newly revealed collaboration with AMD<\/strong>, Sony played a role in developing FSR 4<\/strong>, which leverages a neural network-based upscaler<\/strong> for even sharper, more detailed images. Now, Sony plans to bring this technology to the PS5 Pro<\/strong>, improving the console\u2019s upscaling quality<\/strong> beyond what PSSR currently offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sony\u2019s partnership with AMD, known as Project Amethyst, was first publicly announced in December 2023 as a multiyear collaboration<\/strong>. However, according to Cerny, this partnership actually started earlier and FSR 4 is its first major achievement<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe neural network (and training recipe) in FSR 4\u2019s upscaler are the first results of the Amethyst collaboration\u2026 a more advanced approach that can exceed the crispness of PSSR.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

While FSR 4 won\u2019t immediately replace PSSR<\/strong>, Sony is actively working on integrating it into the PS5 Pro\u2019s ecosystem<\/strong>. Developers are still encouraged to use PSSR for now<\/strong>, as it will take time to fully implement FSR 4\u2019s AI-powered upscaling<\/strong> into the console and future titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sony\u2019s collaboration with AMD under Project Amethyst might extend beyond the PS5 Pro. Cerny hints that this machine learning technology<\/strong> could be used across multiple devices<\/strong>, allowing developers to seamlessly transition their code from one platform to another<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cNow to be clear, this technology has uses beyond PlayStation, and it\u2019s about supporting broad work in machine learning across a variety of devices.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This suggests that future Sony products, possibly including handhelds, VR devices, or even cloud gaming platforms<\/strong>, could benefit from these AI advancements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
