PS5 System Software Public Beta Test (Feb 2026 Edition)

What happened?!
PS4 games IQ enhancer, available in the beta for Pro.
I don't have a Pro, but can confirm what he said is real.
How to turn on the Enhance Image Quality for PS4 Games feature on PS5 Pro consoles

Go to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output.
Select Enhance Image Quality for PS4 Games.

Enhance Image Quality setting requires a screen that supports 2160p or 1440p (60Hz) output.
Turn this off if you experience unexpected behavior during gameplay.
This setting is available only for PS4 games being played on consoles from the CFI-7000 model group.

(This is new, right?).

I thought this was old?
 
No idea, I don't have a Pro, it might be lol.
Wasn't that part of the leak thing along with PSSR2?
The Enhance PS4 image quality was part of the default PS5 Pro software which basically did nothing, more of contrast enhancer.
They would of put in the notes if it was an actual feature for people to test, they wouldn't hide it.
The Beta has zero Pro features, just emojis.
But thanks for heads up 💪

this was available since PS5 pro launch.

Maybe.

I think we will be doing live testing of the forced-on PSSR 2 toggle. Probably will get a Beta 5 update that turns the toggle on in the coming days for PS5 Pro users, we test it over the course of March and April, submit feedback if we find outlier scenarios, they attempt to correct said outliers, and then the feature goes fully live on May 1st.
 
Since this beta goes until April, they might add the PSSR toggle a bit early via the "system features update", enabling the option to be selected without a new full update.

Yeah, that beta without this PSSR switch will be useless (for just emojis lol).

Didn't they say in the blog that the feature arrives on March?
 
Yeah, though it wasn't clear whether it's the public beta or not. I expect the former, but the latter opens it to everyone so I'm excited in either scenario.
I think that if that feature would be only available through a beta they'd have done that perfectly clear in what they knew it was going to be their most visited post ever.

I would be surprised if they skip the beta and launch directly in late March. I mean what is the point of the beta then?

Oh I thought it was the thing you were talking about in the other thread :messenger_weary: :messenger_crying:



PS4 IQ enchace option exists from before.

Since this beta goes until April, they might add the PSSR toggle a bit early via the "system features update", enabling the option to be selected without a new full update.

Sony added it in first beta OFW few days ago, since codes started to arrive. And just i noticed PSSR 2 toogle option in Display option, 2nd beta OFW downloaded and it was ready for installation. Then it was removed. Sony, fuckers! Didn't managed to test some games. Arghh
 
I commented that you were proven wrong again. Thats all

No one was 100% sure this will be implemented (including Cerny in 2024). And Sony is not known for doing things like that, that's why Xbox has system wide refresh rate and LFC but PS5 does not. They leave a lot of things in the hands of developers, and that is a disaster because many devs are retarded.

I'm glad I was proven wrong with this.
 
Thanks, I missed it being quoted by J Required J Required already

It's good to be wrong sometimes. Now, let's see if this "some supported games" means all games with PSSR1 or just some of them (like there are some exceptions to "force VRR" games for some reason).
Wasn't saying you were wrong.
Just showing what I noticed.
