Sony has confirmed an array of games set to benefit from PlayStation 5 Pro’s upgraded PSSR visual boost, which launches more broadly via a new system software update available later today.
Supported titles include a range of third-party blockbusters, including Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Silent Hill 2.
Notably, the visually impressive Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 — a game that was previously an Xbox console exclusive — will also support the upgraded PSSR, refining the game’s appearance even further for PS5 Pro.
PSSR, or PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, uses AI capabilities to analyze and upscale the console’s base output for a better and more stable visuals. Sony first announced the upgraded version of PSSR last month, and confirmed it would be available from launch for the excellent Resident Evil Requiem.
Now, Sony has announced a list of further games set to benefit from the enhanced PSSR boost, both now and in the near future. These include:
- Silent Hill 2
- Silent Hill f
- Dragon Age: The Veilguard
- Control
- Alan Wake 2
- Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2
- Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
- Nioh 3
- Rise of the Ronin
- Monster Hunter Wilds
- Dragon’s Dogma 2
- Crimson Desert
- Assassin’s Creed Shadows
- Cyberpunk 2077
Exactly when these upgrades will arrive is going to depend from game to game, though Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red said today that its “technological update for the PS5 version of the game is coming in the not-too-distant future” and to keep an eye out for more details “in the coming weeks.”
In a post on social media, video game technical wizards Digital Foundry showed a side-by-side comparison of how the upgraded PSSR improves Silent Hill f, which you can see below.
