Sony and AMD Want To Get FSR 4 On PS5 Pro By 2026

Sony will give the PS5 Pro crisper graphics — by backporting FSR 4
Many new PS5 Pro games already use an AI upscaler called “PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution” (PSSR) on their AMD-based chips. PSSR can turn 720p images into 4K ones on the fly while adding extra particle effects, and we’ve been relatively impressed by its quality compared to, say, FSR 3.
PS5 Pro games will soon get something 'very similar' to FSR 4 for what Sony is calling 'the next evolution of PSSR'
PlayStation's lead console architect Mark Cerny has said PS5 Pro games will soon feature "something very similar" to FSR 4.

FSR 4, meanwhile, suffers from the same drawback as DLSS in that it’s hardware-dependent, which means it only works on RDNA 4 architecture, which the PS5 Pro is not. Cerny think
The PS5 Pro will soon get an AMD-powered performance boost
Sony is set to enhance the PlayStation 5 Pro ‘s visual performance by integrating AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) upscaling technology. This advancement stems from a collaboration between Sony and AMD, known as Project Amethyst, aiming to elevate the console’s graphical fidelity.
PlayStation plans to update the PS5 Pro with FSR 4-like technology in the near future
While the PS5 Pro uses PSSR, PlayStation plans to level-up that technology with something closer to AMD's FSR 4 next year.
Something ‘very similar’ to FSR 4 is coming to PS5 Pro in 2026
“Our target is to have something very similar to FSR 4’s upscaler available on PS5 Pro for 2026 titles as the next evolution of PSSR; it should take the same inputs and produce essentially the same outputs. Doing that implementation is rather ambitious and time-consuming, which is why you haven’t already seen this new upscaler on PS5 Pro.”
Mark Cerny: FSR 4 for PS5 Pro is the "next evolution of PSSR"
Based on prior interviews, the Amethyst project is understood to be an extensive venture - one that looks set to extend beyond the lifespan of PS5 Pro, presumably into the next generation console era. It looks like we should expect more convergence in design, as opposed to the Pro's custom ML solution, designed by Sony itself.
PlayStation's Mark Cerny says a version of FSR 4 could be implemented on the PS5 Pro
AMD just debuted its new FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) upscaling tech on the latest Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 Ti GPUs, and it sounds like it might not be limited PCs. According to a new Digital Foundry interview with Mark Cerny,
