PS5 Pro Beta Update Automatically Enables PSSR 2.0 for Enhanced Visuals
Sony has released a new PS5 Pro beta system update that automatically enables the "Enhance PSSR Image Quality" option by default. This change forces games designed for the original PSSR to utilize the upgraded PSSR 2.0 for sharper and clearer visuals. This update accelerates the adoption of PSSR 2.0, ensuring players get the best possible AI-upscaled graphics without needing manual configuration or individual game patches. It showcases Sony's commitment to refining its proprietary upscaling technology to better compete with PC-based solutions like DLSS. The feature is exclusive to the PS5 Pro and can be manually disabled in the console's screen and video settings. Additionally, the beta update introduces a Bluetooth setting designed for esports venues that disables standby mode and HDMI Link when Bluetooth is turned off.
## BACKGROUND
PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) is Sony's proprietary AI-driven upscaling technology introduced with the PS5 Pro to boost frame rates and resolution. While the initial version of PSSR received mixed reviews for its image quality in certain titles, Sony released PSSR 2.0 in early 2026 to deliver superior image reconstruction.
