PS5 Pro’s AI Upscaling Upgrade Could Be Closer Than Expected

The PlayStation 5 Pro may soon receive a major boost to its AI upscaling tech, according to new rumors circulating in the PlayStation community. Leaks suggest Sony could announce an upgraded version of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR 2.0) as early as Q1, building on promises made by lead system architect Mark Cerny that the console would see meaningful graphical improvements in 2026.

If accurate, the update could raise frame rates for games currently capped below 100 FPS, improve resolutions for backward-compatible PS4 titles, and introduce image-quality gains similar to AMD’s latest upscaling tech. For a console that launched at a premium price and struggled to justify its cost to some players, a substantial AI-driven visual leap could reshape the PS5 Pro’s value proposition.
