Sony and AMD’s Project Amethyst collaboration is already boosting PS5 Pro visuals.
The PlayStation 5 Pro is getting a notable graphics upgrade, and it comes straight from Sony’s long-running partnership with AMD. As shared by Sony in an official blog post, the console’s image-upscaling technology is about to receive a major refresh.

Grateful for the shared vision with @cerny on Project Amethyst.
🎮 Through deep co-engineering between @PlayStation and @AMD, we’re seeing that vision power the PlayStation 5 Pro, delivering higher resolution, higher frame rates, and beautiful visual fidelity for gamers.
At the center of the news is an upgraded version of PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), Sony’s AI-driven upscaling technology. The new version has been co-developed with AMD and is derived from the company’s latest FSR 4 upscaling technology. Sony says the improved PSSR will roll out soon, with Resident Evil Requiem confirmed as the first game to support it. The update is said to bring sharper image quality, reduced ghosting, and better detail reconstruction compared to the original version.
A glimpse at the future of console graphics
The new PSSR update is not just a small tweak. Sony describes it as the result of months of additional refinement built on top of AMD’s FSR 4 technology. That matters because upscaling has become one of the most important tools in modern gaming, allowing consoles to deliver higher resolutions and smoother frame rates without requiring dramatically more powerful hardware. Instead of brute-force rendering every pixel, AI-assisted upscaling reconstructs high-resolution images from lower-resolution frames. The result is better performance while still delivering near-native visual quality.
For PS5 Pro owners, this upgrade could mean clearer visuals, better performance, and more future-proof graphics as new games begin adopting the updated PSSR technology. And because the upgrade is system-level, it has the potential to benefit multiple upcoming titles rather than being limited to a single release. As Sony and AMD continue to work together, the PS5 Pro may end up feeling more like a living platform that improves over time. With the PS6 reportedly pushed further down the road, it’s reassuring to see the PS5 Pro getting a meaningful performance boost in the meantime.

It’s not run-and-gun, but that’s exactly why Rainbow Six Mobile works for me
Rainbow Six Mobile’s tactical pacing makes it more fun than Call of Duty: Mobile and PUBG Mobile.
After playing Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege (now Siege X) on PC for nearly a decade, I’ve seen metas rise and fall, operators get nerfed to irrelevance, and some baffling changes from Ubisoft. But despite many controversial updates, R6S remains one of the most profitable games under the studio’s umbrella. So when Rainbow Six Mobile was announced, it didn’t seem like something I’d be interested in. Translating such a mechanic-rich experience to an accessible form seemed like a Herculean task.
Mobile shooters usually follow a familiar formula that involves sprinting towards the nearest enemies for a gunfight. While that’s a broad generalization, even battle royale titles like PUBG Mobile are built around quick engagements and constant stimulation. Siege, on the other hand, has always been about tension; from the seconds before you pull the trigger to the meticulous setup before rushing into the site, ‘shock-and-awe’ style. The game always felt tactical.
GTA 6 may feature unprecedented real-world realism, claims alleged ex-Rockstar Employee
GTA 6 claimed to be the most realistic open-world title again
The hype around Grand Theft Auto 6 continues to build, and an alleged former Rockstar Games employee has added to the high expectations with a fresh rumor. The new set of potential features suggests that GTA 6 might raise the bar on realism in ways that go beyond graphics alone.
GTA 6 NPCs are the biggest leap forward
New Xbox leadership commits to consoles and first-party games
In their first interview since taking over, Asha Sharma and Matt Booty says the hardware you own isn't going anywhere.
Xbox has new leadership, and they're making one thing clear right out of the gate. Your console isn't going anywhere. Asha Sharma took over as CEO on February 23, 2026, with Matt Booty stepping into the Chief Content Officer role as Phil Spencer heads toward retirement. In an interview with Windows Central, the pair addressed the speculation that has followed Xbox through months of declining sales and multi-platform releases.
Sharma knows fans have questions. The decision to put former exclusives on PlayStation left some wondering if Microsoft was quietly exiting the hardware business. She addressed that directly, acknowledging the real money and countless hours players have sunk into the ecosystem over the past 25 years. Her message was simple. The "return to Xbox" she keeps talking about starts with the box itself.
