- Mark Cerny confirms that frame generation would be coming to ‘PlayStation platforms.’
- With no releases planned for this year, the tech isn’t arriving for the PS5 Pro.
- PS6 releases in 2027, and expect more details soon.
Microsoft has already given us more than a glimpse of the next-gen Xbox ‘Project Helix’, which is more or less confirmed for a 2027 release. Sony is reportedly also planning the PS6 for next year, but Team Blue has yet to talk about their plans for their next generation of PlayStation console(s).
Fortunately, we may now have a glimpse of what technology the next-generation PlayStation could bring. The lead hardware developer at the gaming giant has now confirmed that the PS6 will feature ML-based frame generation in a new interview.
Why it matters: Frame generation is widely disliked by the community for increasing input lag and reducing motion clarity due to the AI-generated frames.
Digital Foundry sat down with Mark Cerny, and one of the key discussions in their interview was expanded information on Project Amethyst, the joint collaboration between AMD and Sony spanning hardware across both companies.
The lead architect for PS5 confirmed the new Enhanced PSSR is running on the same technology as the FSR Redstone upscaler. He also confirmed that FSR frame generation is co-engineered as part of Project Amethyst.
Further touching on these joint collaborations, he said the following:
An equivalent frame generation library should be seen at some point on PlayStation platforms.
Mark didn’t elaborate on what he meant by ‘PlayStation platforms,’ but it’s unlikely frame generation will come to the PS5 Pro, since he himself confirmed there will be no new releases this year. However, he will expand on this topic in the future.
PS6 is expected to release in 2027, and despite earlier concerns for the next-gen consoles being delayed, GTA 6 boss doesn’t think that the ongoing RAM conditions will change anything for Sony or Microsoft.
