While console's super-resolution technologies still aren't on par with its PC counterparts, Sony is narrowing the gap with the launch of PSSR 2 (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution). Now available to all PS5 Pro owners, this second-generation looks quite the advancement, promising users less shimmering and ghosting and improved visual quality.
While Nvidia is currently iterating on DLSS 4.5 and 5 and AMD is teasing the AI-driven FSR Diamond, Sony's internal solution is now being deployed across twelve titles. This initial wave includes games such as Silent Hill 2 Remake, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
The full list of games can be found below:
- Silent Hill 2 Remake
- Silent Hill f
- Dragon Age: The Veilguard
- Monster Hunter Wilds
- Dragon's Dogma 2
- Crimson Desert
- Rise of the Ronin
- Nioh 3
- Control
- Alan Wake 2
- Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
- Cyberpunk 2077 (upcoming)
- Assassin's Creed Shadows (upcoming)
Digital Foundry has already provided the first deep-dive analysis of the technology, with Oliver Mackenzie noting that the leap from the first iteration to PSSR 2 is substantial, describing it as a “big improvement” that significantly improves the value proposition of the PS5 Pro hardware. While he was careful to mention that PSSR 2 still lacks some of the advanced features found in top-tier PC upscalers, the consensus is that for a living-room experience, the “ghosting” and “shimmering” issues that occasionally plagued early PSSR 1 titles have been drastically reduced.

KitGuru says: PSSR 2 alone might not be enough to justify getting a PS5 Pro, but it sure looks like something worth adding to the list of advantages.
