- PlayStation console architect Mark Cerny says new PSSR technology is much faster than the original
- Cerny claims the new PSSR “is something like 100 microseconds faster”
- He adds that the update allowed Sony to implement the “Improve PSSR image quality” option and “force upgrade of all PSSR supported games.”
PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro console architect Mark Cerny has revealed that Sony’s updated PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) AI upscaling technology is faster than its original incarnation.
Earlier this month, Sony began rolling out the new version of PSSR to a wide range of PS5 Pro enhanced games, delivering “improved image stability, enhanced clarity in fine details, and more consistent performance across supported titles.”
Speaking in a recent interview with Digital Foundry, Cerny said the new technology is about “100 microseconds faster” than the original and has allowed Sony to introduce an improved image quality option to “force the upgrade of all PSSR-supported games.”

“I was a little unsure as to whether there might be a user option to upgrade all PSSR supported titles to the new PSSR, with the key issue being that for this option to make sense the new PSSR would have to be faster than the original,” Cerny said.
“We made this our goal and ultimately managed to achieve it: the new PSSR is about 100 microseconds faster than the original. Which allowed us to implement the “Improve PSSR Image Quality” option to force the upgrade of all games supported by the PSSR. If you use it, frame drops should become a little rarer. “
Sony first released upscaling technology for the PS5 Pro version of Resident Evil Requiemand the update is now available for other games like Silent Hill Wild Monster Hunters, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Dragon Age: The Veilkeeper, Control, Alan wakes up 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and more.
“The upgraded PSSR represents another step in our commitment to evolving the PS5 Pro experience,” Sony said at the time. “Moving forward, most new PS5 Pro titles will launch with support for this improved PSSR, ensuring players will continue to see improvements in image quality and performance.”
Other games like Crimson Desert, Cyberpunk 2077And Shadows of Assassin’s Creed should also receive the same update soon.
