- PlayStation console architect Mark Cerny says new PSSR technology is much faster than the original
- Cerny says the new PSSR “is something like 100 microseconds faster”
- It adds that the update allowed Sony to implement the “Improve PSSR image quality” option and “force the update of all PSSR-compatible 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, improved clarity in fine details, and more consistent performance across all supported titles.”
In a recent interview with Digital Foundry, Cerny shared that the new technology is about “100 microseconds faster” than the original and allowed Sony to introduce an improved image quality option to “force the update of all PSSR-compatible games.”

“I was a little unsure if there might be a user option to upgrade all PSSR-compatible titles to the new PSSR, the key issue is that for that option to make sense, the new PSSR would have to be faster than the original,” Cerny said.
“We made that our goal and finally managed to achieve it: the new PSSR is something like 100 microseconds faster than the original. Which in turn allowed us to implement the ‘Improve PSSR image quality’ option to force all PSSR-compatible games to refresh. If you use it, frame drops should become a little rarer.”
Sony launched the enhancement technology for the first time for the PS5 Pro version of Resident Evil Requiemand the update is now available for other games like silent hill f, Wild monster hunter, Dragon Dogma 2, Dragon Age: Veil Guard, Control, Alan Wake 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and more.
“The updated PSSR represents another step in our commitment to evolving the PS5 Pro experience,” Sony said at the time. “Going forward, most new PS5 Pro titles will launch with support for this improved PSSR, ensuring players continue to see improvements in image quality and performance.”
Other games like crimson desert, Cyberpunk 2077and Assassin’s Creed Shadows They are also expected to receive the same update soon.
