Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Looks Worse On PS5 Pro With PSSR Than Base Console

Expert Verified By

Story Highlight
  • PSSR was previously reported to be causing visual glitches in many games. 
  • Now, Digital Foundry has revealed that technology, while looking promising,g isn’t perfect as it makes Black Ops 6 look worse on the pro console than the base one.
  • This might cause some concerns among the fans, but PSSR is Sony’s first-ever AI-driven upscaling technology for a console.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was recently enhanced for the PS5 Pro, so fans were wondering how much of an upgrade the game will get due to the new technology PSSR.

However, as per the analysis of experts, the title looks better on the previous version than it does on PS5 Pro with PSSR, even though there is a huge difference in hardware. 

Why it matters: PSSR has proven to be quite troublesome in many games as it was causing visual glitches. This means that the technology is still not completely ready, even with the pro console out already for a while. 

A recent video from Digital Foundry discussing PSSR problems revealed how it can make certain games look worse than they do on the base console. Black Ops 6 is the latest example of how technology is negatively affecting a game.

Alexander Battaglia, a PC specialist at Digital Foundry, revealed during the video that Call of Duty Black Ops 6 previous version looks better than on PS5 Pro with PSSR, which shows the AI-driven upscaler is still in beta.

In a case like that, it is a little odd to see the old version looking better in aspects even though, once again, the hardware is way better on PS5 Pro on the GPU side of things, which matters the most.

PSSR Needs A Lot of Improvements

So, the PSSR, while being better than FSR in some aspects, seems to be causing trouble in many games. Given how the technology is still new, as is the first time Sony has ever released it for its console, such problems aren’t that surprising. 

However, these problems are likely to cause controversy due to the massive price tag of the PS5 Pro.
