Mark Cerny Says PS5 Pro And PSSR Are A Preparation For Next-Gen Consoles

Expert Verified By

This Proves PS5 Pro Was A Test Console!

Story Highlight
  • Mark Cerny Says PS5 and PSSR are preparing them for next-gen consoles.
  • Machine learning and PSSR are expected to play a huge role in PlayStation 6.
  • PSSR currently needs a lot of polishing as it causes visual and performance glitches.

PlayStation 5 Pro has been quite underwhelming for the most part. There have been a few incremental upgrades but they don’t line up so well to be worth the upgrade. Even the PlayStation designer says that the PS5 Pro is a preparation for next-gen consoles. 

Why it matters? The new stuff with the PS5 Pro especially PSSR already feels very experimental at this point. It’s currently causing major issues with games like compromised visuals, performance issues, and more. 

Mark Cerny says that tech like machine learning and PSSR on PS5 Pro is preparing them for the next generation of consoles. By this, it seems like the PS5 Pro has been a big setup for the PS6, which will implement these things better. 

It’s been great digging into M.L. aspects of this and gaining some knowledge there because we know that’s the future were heading into.

However, while the PS5 Pro might not be too big of an update, it has its pros. Sony claimed it’s very easy to develop games for and a straightforward upgradability path. Also, there’s no denying that it’s currently the most powerful console of all time.

PSSR has been hit or miss in most cases, but the company has vowed to improve that as well. Sony has even stated that their upscaling tech will be at its best with the release of GTA 6. 

Anyhow, for now, PSSR isn’t the best but recently in an interview with Tech4Gamers War Thunder developer said it’s on par with DLSS and XeSS as it has a lot of untapped potential.
