Get ready for a massive upgrade, folks! The PS5 Pro is set to undergo some incredible improvements in 2026, and it's an exciting prospect for gamers everywhere.
Sony has been transparent about its efforts to enhance the PS5 Pro, particularly its PSSR upscaling technology. Since its release in 2024, the supercharged system has received mixed reviews. While some games shine with enhanced hardware, others have left players feeling underwhelmed.
But here's where it gets controversial: an anonymous developer, in conversation with Hardware Snoop Moore's Law Is Dead, has revealed that future upgrades will be 'huge'. As part of Sony's collaboration with AMD on Project Amethyst, which also paves the way for the PS6, a new version of PSSR is planned for next year. This upgrade promises to significantly enhance image quality.
The new PSSR will deliver higher-quality images without relying on certain input data, suggesting it can produce a clean image even from imperfect sources. As a result, it will reduce memory usage and GPU processing times. In short, it's a win-win: cleaner images, faster processing, and less memory consumption.
And this is the part most people miss: Sony is also addressing artifacting issues in some games. They've developed a tool to help developers quickly detect and fix these problems, ensuring a smoother gaming experience.
However, there's a catch. Existing games will likely need patches to access these new features, so we're once again relying on our favorite developers for support. But if Sony can get this technology into the hands of Rockstar early, there's a good chance GTA 6 could launch with these features, which would undoubtedly boost PS5 Pro sales.
So, what do you think? Are you excited about the potential of the PS5 Pro's upcoming improvements? Or do you have concerns about the reliance on developers for patches? Let us know in the comments! We'd love to hear your thoughts on this gaming evolution.
