PlayStation 5 Pro Causing Visual Glitches In Some Games At 60 FPS

Expert Verified By

PSSR Is The Culprit Behind These Motion Shimmers!

Story Highlight
  • According to many user reports, PlayStation 5 Pro is causing visual glitches in some games at 60 FPS.
  • PSSR, the new AI-based upscale, is to blame for the aliasing artifacts introduced in PS5 Pro-enhanced titles.
  • Users are not experiencing these motion shimmers on 120 FPS and other settings where PSSR is not utilized.

PlayStation 5 Pro has been quite a controversial mid-gen upgrade in console history. Its exorbitant price was criticized, but many could not deny the massive upgrades it brought. Therefore, the new console is considered to be a refresh, which is meant only for a few who are willing to spend a pretty penny. However, some PS5 Pro owners are now experiencing quite an unexpected dilemma.

Many new user reports claim that PlayStation 5 Pro is causing visual glitches in some games at 60 FPS. The community has blamed these motion shimmers on Sony’s new upscaler—PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution)—acting up.  

Why it matters: PlayStation 5 Pro causes visual glitches to appear in some games at 60 FPS, which is causing a lot of concern among gamers. The aliasing artifacts can make graphics look quite full of shimmers due to PSSR.

Many users have reported that they are having trouble with visuals while playing some games at 60FPS when PSSR is enabled. The upscaling technology seems to be messing with textures and causing some graphical glitches in-game. 

However, if you are playing in 120FPS mode or not using PSSR technology, then there isn’t any issue. This proves that Sony’s new technology is the real culprit behind the visual glitches, which isn’t a pretty picture. 

All in all, it’s worth noting that every user is experiencing these motion shimmers at different levels, with some not having the problem at all. So, it is best to take these user accounts with a grain of salt. Sony will also likely improve PSSR in the future with system-wide updates.

Do you think Sony can fully end these motion shimmers currently plaguing some PS5 Pro games At 60 FPS? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
