PlayStation's lead console architect Mark Cerny has said PS5 Pro games will soon feature "something very similar" to FSR 4.

PlayStation lead system architect Mark Cerny says that in 2026, the PS5 Pro will be getting upscaling tech equivalent to AMD's FSR 4.

Many new PS5 Pro games already use an AI upscaler called “PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution” (PSSR) on their AMD-based chips. PSSR can turn 720p images into 4K ones on the fly while adding extra particle effects, and we’ve been relatively impressed by its quality compared to, say, FSR 3.

The PS5 Pro could be getting similar tech to AMD’s new version of FSR next year. AMD released the next generation of their graphics cards, the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT, last week. They’re built around their new RDNA 4 architecture, which includes hardware support for a new version of FidelityFX Super Resolution, called FSR 4.

The PlayStation 5 Pro's main promise is better, more stable graphics—there's a reason why it costs a lot more than the regular Slim model of the console. Now, though, Sony is thinking about party tricks to raise the bar even further,
