PS5 Pro PSSR 2.0 Drops Today (Full List of Games Revealed Here)
Sony just pushed out the PS5 system software update that flips on the long-promised PSSR 2.0, and it is live right now for every Pro owner.
This is not some vague "coming soon" promise.
The upgraded AI upscaler that analyzes every pixel frame by frame is rolling out globally, and a handful of big games are already using it to deliver noticeably crisper details, rock-solid motion, and better overall stability without tanking frame rates.

Mark Cerny, the lead architect behind both PS5 and PS5 Pro, laid it out back in late February when the upgrade was first teased.
"We’ve been hard at work on a new version of PSSR, which takes a very different approach to not only the neural network but also the overall algorithm."
Resident Evil Requiem launched with the new tech baked in from day one and proved the point immediately.
Now the March 16 update makes it available system-wide.
Here is the exact list of games confirmed today to run the upgraded PSSR 2.0, straight from Sony's official announcement:
- - Silent Hill 2
- - Silent Hill f
- - Dragon Age: The Veilguard
- - Control
- - Alan Wake 2
- - Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II
- - Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
- - Nioh 3
- - Rise of the Ronin
- - Monster Hunter Wilds
- - Dragon’s Dogma 2
- - Crimson Desert (live on launch March 19)
Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Cyberpunk 2077 are getting dedicated patches in the next few weeks to join them.
That last one matters.
CD Projekt Red spent years saying no to a PS5 Pro patch.
Now they are on board.
Tells you everything about how strong this upgrade actually is.
But how to access PS5 Pro PSSR 2.0?
Head to your PS5 Pro settings under Video Output, toggle on “Enhance PSSR Image Quality,” and every game that already supported the original PSSR instantly gets the new version.
No waiting for developers, no extra downloads for most titles.
Sony did not force every studio to rebuild their games from scratch. They fixed the upscaler at the hardware level and handed owners a toggle that makes dozens of existing Pro-enhanced titles look better tonight.
It is the closest thing to a console-wide visual patch we have ever seen, and it quietly turns the PS5 Pro from a "nice to have" into something that actually ages your library upward instead of leaving it stuck in 2024 visuals.
The original PSSR was solid but had visible artifacts in motion and fine details that popped at the wrong moments.
Version 2.0, built on the same Project Amethyst work Sony did with AMD, smooths all of that out.
Frame rates hold steadier in fidelity modes, hair and particle effects stop flickering, and the image just sits there looking locked in.
PS5 Pro Players who bought a Pro expecting it to carry their backlog for years are finally getting the payoff without paying extra or waiting on patches.
Cyberpunk 2077 jumping in after all this time is the clearest sign yet that third-party studios see the writing on the wall.
If even the most stubborn holdout is patching now, the rest will follow.
And Sony already said most new Pro titles will ship with this version from day one.
Fire up the settings menu, flip the switch, and load whatever you have installed now with PSSR 2.0.
Your PS5 Pro just became the console Sony promised at launch, and the rest of the industry is scrambling to keep up.
