True for the system firmware update. However, I don't think there is any reason why the dedicated game patches can't go live earlier today. A native PSSR 2 integration doesn't require the firmware (as proven by RE9) and since they already spilled the beans in the blog, it'd be nice to get some patches today. Of course, they may be all waiting for tomorrow's firmware update but I'm anxious to see it in action (like many of you)

Fuck yeah. I have waited for some of these to be fully implemented and looks like that's paid off.
This looks like a great improvement overall. Wonder how Alan wake 2 fares?
Cyberpunk update as well. Damn right I can do another playthrough of that!!!!

Big leap, and a first time for consoles to do something like this right? Similar to the upscaler updates that are shown on AMD and NVidia's PC cards.
First of many i'd bet, and probably a selling point for PS6 (PSSR3 i mean)
Great news considering we're in the upscaling/AI age

Tuesdays are the most common day that games tend patch or add updates, content releases, etc., so this is normal.True for the system firmware update.

Improved PSSR can also be enabled for existing supported games via PS5 Pro's optional system setting.
Sid Shuman (he/him)Senior Director, Sony Interactive Entertainment Content Communications
Today's PS5 system software update introduces broad support for the upgraded version of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), delivering enhanced image stability, improved clarity in fine details, and more consistent performance across supported titles.
PSSR is an AI library that analyzes each frame pixel by pixel as it upscales game visuals. With this latest evolution, image reconstruction is more precise, motion stability is improved, and developers have greater flexibility to balance performance and fidelity on PS5 Pro.
Several partners are already integrating the upgraded PSSR into their titles and have shared their impressions of the results.

Konami Digital Entertainment
First, we're happy to share that two of Konami's titles, SILENT HILL 2 and SILENT HILL f, are upgrading to use this new technology to great effect. Here's what the team behind SILENT HILL f had to say:
Electronic Arts
The benefits of the upgraded PSSR extend across genres, including large-scale RPG experiences such as Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Remedy Entertainment
Remedy Entertainment is bringing the upgraded PSSR to both Control and Alan Wake 2, highlighting noticeable improvements in image stability and motion clarity across both titles.
Ninja Theory
Ninja Theory has adopted the upgraded PSSR for Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, leveraging the latest upscaling advancements to further refine the game's visual presentation on PS5 Pro.

Nioh 3 featuring new PSSR upscaling
Koei Tecmo Games
Koei Tecmo is bringing the upgraded PSSR to both Nioh 3 and Rise of the Ronin, further enhancing environmental detail and image clarity across its visually dynamic action titles on PS5 Pro.
Capcom
In addition to the recently launched Resident Evil Requiem, Capcom has also adopted the upgraded PSSR in Monster Hunter Wilds and Dragon's Dogma 2, further refining image clarity and stability across both titles. Visit our previous blog post to read Capcom's comments on their use of the upgraded PSSR in Resident Evil Requiem.
More games supported soon
The upgraded PSSR is fully integrated with the latest PS5 system software update, which begins rolling out in phases starting on March 16 at 10:00 PM Pacific Time. The update will gradually become available to all users over the coming days, and you can also manually check for and install the update via the PS5 system settings.
In addition to the titles above, Crimson Desert is also adopting the new PSSR when it launches on March 19th. And furthermore, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Cyberpunk 2077 will also receive a patch in the coming weeks to support the new PSSR!
If you'd like to see how some of your other games work with the new PSSR, you can apply it to all PS5 Pro games that support PSSR today. While results may vary by title, many games may see improvements in clarity and image stability. If it results in any unexpected visual effects, you can turn it off at any time.

The upgraded PSSR represents another step in our commitment to evolving the PS5 Pro experience. Moving forward, most new PS5 Pro titles will launch with support for this enhanced PSSR, ensuring players continue to see improvements in image quality and performance.
Also, please note that the algorithm and neural network used in the new PSSR stem from our Project Amethyst partnership with AMD. This upgraded PSSR represents the very latest innovations in our co-developed technology; stay tuned for AMD's next FSR update that will bring these advancements to even more players around the world!
We look forward to seeing how developers further leverage this technology in the months ahead.

Smartest thing Sony has done is experimenting with ML in a Pro console, they built knowlege, created close partnership and will make sure PS6 will be legendary

We're PSSR2 now!But we're PDT not PST!
Seems unlikely they will launch PS6 next year with PS5 pro just getting warmed up with pssr 2.

The PSSR2 work is just work that needs to be done for PS6 to be what it needs to be.

It's on MisterXDTV's list as having PSSR so that would be one that will benefit from the update.

I was looking at my pro and wondering why I couldn't see this. This is 8am tomorrow morning for me so guess us UK/EU folks have to wait till the 17th.

Now this is the kind of improvements we like to see here on the professional

Are you talking about patches for games?
According to Sony, and I think Remedy mentioned it too, they don't need to patch the games for the update to take effect, it's done automatically.

I think people should be glad that performance is the same. They improved quality massively using the same resources.

I'm curious to see what the new PSSR can do to that poorly optimised High on Life 2.

It is an AI bot, Sid iS Human…Embarassing but expected. Sony is still infected with the woke virus
Very good upgrade, by the way PSSR2 looks great. I'll give them credit for that.

Yeah we need frame generation with pssr2 all modern games shooters and fast action need 120fps to improve latency on controllers!

It will never happen but I wish we could have per-game settings.
It would be nice to be able to control VRR, HDR, PSSR, 120Hz on a game by game basis so if one game locks out Balanced 40fps mode because you have VRR, you can turn off VRR for that one game but leave it on for the rest. Same with HDR. Some games have poor implementations of HDR, so it would be nice to turn it off just for that one game. Same with PSSR. Some games may have issues with the override setting.

Just watched the video. It really gives off that Dave Hill effect which makes everyone look like wax sculptures. I don't like it. It's bad looking.
Jensen seems high today.
