Sony Debuts Overhauled PS5 Pro Upscaler With Resident Evil Requiem, Broader Rollout in March

Built under Sony’s Project Amethyst with AMD, the revised AI upscaler will be selectable via a new console setting.

Overview

  • Sony confirmed the upgraded PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution is live in Resident Evil Requiem on PS5 Pro today.
  • A March system software update will add an “Enhance PSSR Image Quality” toggle, enabling the new model across supported games without individual patches.
  • Mark Cerny said the algorithm and neural network derive from the Project Amethyst collaboration, incorporating FSR4‑era techniques refined for six months.
  • Early analysis from Digital Foundry reports sharper reconstruction, reduced ghosting, and convincing 4K output at 60fps with ray tracing, with minor aliasing and engine denoising noise still visible.
  • The refresh targets inconsistencies seen in earlier PSSR implementations, with Sony indicating more existing titles will adopt the improved upscaler in March.
