Sony Confirms PlayStation 5 Pro PSSR Upgrades for Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Even Former Xbox Console Exclusive Hellblade 2

Sony has confirmed an array of games set to benefit from PlayStation 5 Pro's upgraded PSSR visual boost, which launches more broadly via a new system software update available later today. Supported titles include a range of third-party blockbusters, including Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin's Creed Shadows and Silent Hill 2. Notably, the visually impressive Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 — a game that was previously an Xbox console exclusive — will also support the upgraded PSSR, refining the game's appearance even further for PS5 Pro. PSSR, or PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, uses AI capabilities to analyze and upscale the console's base output for a better and more stable visuals. Sony first announced the upgraded version of PSSR last month, and confirmed it would be available from launch for the excellent Resident Evil Requiem. Now, Sony has announced a list of further games set to benefit from the enhanced PSSR boost, both now and in the near future.
