Official PS5 PSSR Upgrades Analysis By Digital Foundry

[Gwenievre]

The Last of Us Part 2 sees Naughty Dog embellish its already impressive PS5 port with a new 'Pro' mode, taking the existing performance option and stripping out its TAA solution in favour of 4K PSSR upscaling. Digital Foundry has unfettered access to the whole game, allowing us to really put the technology through its paces - and here are our results.

'm assuming over time, developers will more efficiently utilize PSSR in games, but the question I haven't been able to find any answer about yet is - can we expect PSSR itself to receive updates over time on the PS5 Pro, or will true upgrades be limited to the hardware and therefore only present themselves in future consoles i.e. PS6?

Obviously future consoles will have inevitable upgrades, that goes without saying, I'm strictly only asking about what we can expect on the PS5 Pro.

Hopefully, like with DLSS, the quality can increase with updates down the line, and this is just the worst version of PSSR we'll see.
