Sony plans major graphics improvements for PlayStation 5 Pro gamers coming next year. The company works on brand new technology that makes games look sharper and run faster. This upgrade replaces the current system called PSSR that helps boost game pictures. Base PlayStation 5 owners cannot use this new feature because their machines lack the power needed. The enhanced graphics will only work on the Pro version of the console.
Sony teams up with AMD through a special project called Amethyst that started back in 2023. Mark Cerny leads the PlayStation 5 design and joins this partnership directly. Workers from Asia, Europe and America meet regularly to share their progress on the new graphics system. They finish work that normally takes years but complete it within nine months. The companies also create special testing teams to make sure each new version performs better than the last one.
AMD uses this same technology for their computer graphics cards called FSR 4. PC gamers already enjoy these improvements on their gaming rigs. The partnership helps AMD compete against Nvidia and their popular DLSS technology. Game developers can easily add this upgrade without major changes to their software. PlayStation 5 Pro owners will experience smoother gameplay and clearer images without buying new hardware.
