PlayStation's latest update automatically enables PSSR 2.0 for PS5 Pro owners across supported games, eliminating the need to manually toggle the upscaling feature.

PSSR 2.0, Sony's proprietary upscaling technology, is now the standard setting for PS5 Pro users. The update removes friction from the user experience by activating the feature automatically for compatible titles. Previously, players had to navigate settings menus to enable PSSR 2.0 manually. The new default streamlines this process, delivering enhanced visual quality without additional user intervention. PSSR 2.0 uses machine learning to upscale games from lower resolutions while maintaining image quality and performance. The technology targets improved visual fidelity across the PS5 Pro's library. Users retain the ability to disable PSSR 2.0 if preferred, though Sony's positioning of it as the default suggests confidence in the technology's performance across supported games. The update applies to existing titles with PSSR 2.0 support and future releases.
