- Sony introduced a completely new AI upscaling technology with its latest mid-gen refresh.
- Many initially praised the technology, but it became controversial because it caused graphical glitches in many games.
- That said, the War Thunder producer revealed that even in the initial stage, it is as good as the DLSS and XeSS.
Sony recently released its controversial PlayStation 5 Pro with a new technology known as PSSR. The technology’s hype was increased a lot before its release, with many tech experts claiming that it is better than AMD’s FSR.
However, shortly after many games received a patch for the pro console, the PSSR started causing problems. Many concluded that the technology is still in beta as it has been causing way too many graphics issues in the patched games.
That said, the developers have had a positive experience with it. We recently interviewed the War Thunder producer, and he said that the technology is on par with DLSS and XeSS.
Why it matters: Sony debuted its in-house technology with the PS5 Pro, which received much praise but has now become a lot more controversial.
In a recent interview with Tech4Gamers, War Thunder producer Vyacheslav Bulannikov revealed that during development and playtesting, the PSSR was found to be on par with the popular DLSS and XeSS.

It should be noted that this was Sony’s first AI upscaling technology so it is great to see it going toe-to-toe with the technology of Nvidia.
The producer also finds it quite interesting that the first version of Sony’s upscaling technology has managed to go against other mature options in the market.
These technologies are constantly improving, so I find it impressive that the first version of PSSR is already head-to-head with other, more mature solutions.
Many have already considered Sony’s tech to be in beta, so it is bound to get way better. However, this will increase competition and motivate AMD and Nvidia to work even harder to boost their AI technologies.
The competition in this market is going to get even more intense, which is ultimately a good thing for gamers.
