- Digital Foundry tested PSSR 2 and says the PS5 Pro’s existence finally makes sense.
- It provides a huge visual overhaul and currently supports 12 games at launch.
- More titles will be added to the list with PS5 Pro now the definitive console for GTA 6.
The PS5 Pro was supposed to be a big step up from the PS5, especially since it featured PlayStation’s very own upscaling tech for the first time. However, that wasn’t the case, as the it ruined the quality and performance.
Almost a year since the launch of its first iteration, Sony has now made PSSR 2 official for the masses, and it is indeed a huge upgrade. So big that tech analysts say that it now justifies the existence of the PS5 Pro.
Why it matters: When the PS5 Pro came out, many didn’t recommend it based on the poor PSSR implementation and its higher price tag, which didn’t justify spending extra money for the Pro console.
Digital Foundry thoroughly tested PSSR 2 and reached the conclusion that the upscaling is now so great that the PS5 Pro actually makes sense. It was tested in multiple titles, and the results were impressive across the board.
Using Silent Hill f as an example, the fine detail, foliage, and Unreal Engine 5 issues were a mess with PSSR. In fact, TSR showed better results on the base PS5. Come PSSR 2, the visuals look stunning wth all issues now fixed.
This trend was similar for all the games that Digital Foundry tested, including Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Monster Hunter Wilds, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Alan Wake 2. The tech supports 12 games at launch, with more to follow.
If it wasn’t already, the PS5 Pro is now the best proposition to experience GTA 6 at launch. Sony and AMD must be working with them to bring PSSR 2 to the game, which will certainly provide unmatchable visuals.
