Star Wars Jedi: Survivor gets a PSSR upgrade on PS5 Pro - and image quality is much improved

PSSR improves Star Wars Jedi: Survivor image on PS5 Pro, addressing critical issues.

: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was updated on the PS5 Pro with the latest PSSR technology, enhancing image quality and addressing major visual issues. While the strobing and pulsing effects in performance mode have been significantly improved, some PSSR issues like noise and vignetting remain. In quality mode, upgrades increased the resolution's credibility, though problems with ray-traced global illumination persist. Sony continues to work on PSSR, hinting at future enhancements through collaborations and advancements like FSR 4.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on PS5 Pro received an upgrade using the PSSR machine learning-based upscaling, which brought noteworthy improvements, especially in image quality. The performance mode has seen a reduction in pulsing and strobing effects, notable in the game's notorious river run, yet some persistent PSSR-related issues like noise on opaque geometry and an unwanted vignetting effect are still present.

In terms of quality mode, although there's a noticeable downgrade with a 30fps target, the enhancements make the 4K output from PSSR more convincing, albeit still behind DLSS standards. Some issues, like 'black holes' in ray-traced global illumination, weren't fixed and appear as frequently as before.

The update hints that PSSR is still a first-generation product, expecting further evolution and improvements over time. There's speculation about Sony's collaboration with AMD through the Amythest project, particularly given the impressive FSR 4 demonstrated at CES 2025, suggesting continued advancement in upscaling technologies for future enhancements.
