- Insider claims the FSR update for PS5 Pro is expected during Q1 2026.
- The update is part of Sony and AMD’s partnership working on Project Amethyst.
- FSR update will give a huge performance boost to the PS5 Pro and will produce much better-looking images.
Even though the PS6 rumors have started pouring in rapidly, the next generation of Sony consoles is still years away. In the meantime, the gaming giant also expects to squeeze every last bit of potential from the PS5 consoles.
The PS5 Pro specifically was confirmed to get a huge boost with FSR support, which replaces the current PSSR technology. Now, an insider has confirmed that the update is scheduled for Q1 2026, which is right around the corner.
Why it matters: On release, the PS5 was heavily criticized by fans due to its underwhelming power and the inability to deliver a true high-end experience. The FSR update is set to change that by providing a huge performance boost.
In his latest YouTube video, Moore’s Law answered the lingering question of when the FSR 4 update is coming to RDNA 3 GPUs. He stated AMD is prioritizing the PS5 Pro first, which he referred to as having an RDNA 3.75 design.
The leaker further stated that the work has progressed quite a bit, with more developers working on bringing FSR 4 to RDNA 3 GPUs. After AMD completes the FSR 4 update for the PS5 Pro, it will move to the RDNA 3 and 3.5 GPUs for desktops and laptops.
The reason why this has taken so long is that AMD engineers had to rewrite the FSR 4 code for RDNA 3 GPUs. Moore’s Law is quite accurate on these types of leaks since he was the first one to disclose the PSSR technology.
Sony and AMD have entered a partnership for Project Amethyst that will benefit both companies. The first fruit of this partnership will be the FSR update and will extend to the next generation of RDNA 5 (UDNA) GPUs, all the way to the PS6.
With regards to how the FSR update will play out for the PS5 Pro, we’re still in the dark. However, Mark Cerny has stated that it produces much better image quality in comparison to PSSR.
