For games that have yet to receive an official update to support the upgraded upscaler, support can also be unofficially applied to all games that already support PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution via the “Enhance PSSR Image Quality” toggle in the PlayStation 5 Pro system settings. While results may vary by title, many games may see improvements in clarity and image stability. If it results in any unexpected visual effects, it can be turned off at any time.
Here are a few comments and examples of the upgraded PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution from third-party studios:
Electronic Arts
“We’re happy to share that Dragon Age: The Veilguard now supports the new [PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution] on [PlayStation 5] Pro, further enhancing the visual experience for our players. With the new [PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution], we’re delivering a meaningful improvement in image quality while still maintaining stable framerates in Fidelity and Performance modes. Your adventures in Thedas will now feel smoother and more visually refined.”
—Maciej Kurowski, BioWare Studio Technical Director
“With the [PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution] update, we are able to show the features that make up the vast open field, especially edges of natural objects such as trees, plants and flowers, even sharper than before. In addition, the fast-paced action scenes of Nioh 3 are rendered while maintaining the high-definition details, so we hope everyone will try this enhanced immersive experience of Nioh 3.”
—Kohei Shibata, Producer of Nioh 3 / Koei Tecmo Games
“With the latest [PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution] update, Silent Hill f now delivers an even smoother gameplay experience than before. Fine details—from swaying blades of grass to shadows cast across the ground—are rendered with greater clarity, deepening immersion in the fog-shrouded Japan of the 1960s. Whether you’ve already played the game or are experiencing it for the first time, we invite you to enjoy finding the ‘beauty in terror’ with the newly evolved [PlayStation 5] Pro.”

In particular, we have been impressed by the quality of particle effects with this latest update, helping to bring key gameplay moments to life through enhanced visuals. At Ninja Theory our mission is to craft life-changing art with game-changing tech. Finding smart optimizations like this to sink players deeper into our worlds, characters and stories is core to how we make games.”

Remedy Entertainment
“It is great to see PlayStation being able to push even further what is possible on the PlayStation 5 Pro hardware. The great thing is that these improvements will be available to all PlayStation 5 Pro owners. The upgraded [PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution] improves image upscaling quality and stability. The improvements allow efficient stochastic sampling without sacrificing image stability. The new [PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution] responds quickly to visibility changes in games, keeping motion clear while improving temporal stability. Control and, especially, Alan Wake II benefit from these improvements on the Pro, resulting in better, more stable image quality.”

“Compared to the original [PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution], fine details such as character’s hair are naturally restored, and the image processing is more stable due to less flickering and afterimage feeling. Overall, we feel it allows us to create a more immersive gameplay experience with improved graphical quality and stability.”
