KEY POINTS

- •This update enhances games like Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and Silent Hill 2 to reduce visual artifacts.

On March 16, 2026, Sony unveiled its PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upgrade for the PS5 Pro, targeting beloved titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and even that haunting Silent Hill 2. Thanks to a tag-team effort with AMD via Project Amethyst, fans can now enjoy visuals that shimmer less and flicker almost politely—Digital Foundry says it's 'the kind of upgrade we were looking for,' implying previous graphics were auditioning for a rave. This first official enhancement aims to replace visual artifacts with in-game graphics so crisp you might actually notice your character’s nose hairs instead of glitchy flames.
