Sony keeps polishing the details of its next console and has just confirmed news that many will like: the PlayStation 5 Pro will receive in 2026 the Fidelityfx Super Resolution 4 complete integration 4 (FSR 4), The latest image climbing technology developed by AMD. But we are not talking about a limited or trimmed adaptation. According to Mark CernyChief Architect of the PlayStation System, the version that will arrive at the console will be exactly the same as PC players from its launch in March. As is.

This improvement is part of a Joint project between Sony and AMD Baptized as “Project Amethyst”.

FSR 4 on PS5 Pro: clarity without losing a single frame

Beyond the technical, the really striking of this alliance between AMD and Sony is how they have worked side by side. They have not limited themselves to sharing ideas: They have opened their processes, have aligned their quality control systems and have even created a mixed team dedicated exclusively to polishing the console climbing technology. Thanks to this teamwork, and to the fact that no limits or restrictions have been put to the advances they have discovered, development has been surprisingly fast.

The arrival of FSR 4 to the PS5 Pro will be totally freeas part of a system update that will arrive at some point in 2026. Players will notice a clear improvement in image sharpness, especially in demanding titles, without having to sacrifice performance or fluidity. And as the climb engine will be identical to that of PC, studies can work on a unified base, which can mean less effort to optimize between platforms and a more solid experience in general.

In addition, all the learning that AMD has taken from the Amethyst project will also join its Next RDNA 5/UDNA Architecture GPUwhich are already on their way. As neither of the two parties has limited the use of this technology, it is expected that external developers and even other hardware manufacturers can apply the same improvements in their systems.
