Sony Is Rumored to Be Adding “DLSS -Like” Technology to the PlayStation 5 Pro for Improved Framerates at Higher Resolutions

An industry insider known for credible early leaks has said that Sony is developing its version of DLSS for the next PlayStation 5 console. It is no secret that Sony is believed to be releasing the PlayStation 5 Pro in fall 2024 but adding dedicated proprietary supersampling technology to it could be a game changer. Jeff Grubb (Giant Bomb/Jeff Grubb's Game Mess, Venture Beat), said during a recent podcast that not only has he obtained confirmation about the forthcoming console's fall 2024 release but Sony is now rumored to be working on a "DLSS-like" solution that will be introduced with it. Grubb dropped this bomb after covering Naughty Dog's cancellation of The Last of Us online which was also revealed yesterday.

Yea.. what the fudge is this article talking about. It's AMD GPU's and CPU's. It's FSR. I don't understand why they don't just say FSR.

I wouldn't be surprised if that gets included as part of the name but this does sound to be something different. I seem to remember that FSR and Xess can utilize hardware by AMD and Intel and then also work on other hardware, but it sounds like Sony/AMD is making something proprietary here.

Custom APU opens doors to custom options.

So hardware tensor cores?

FSR already works on the 9th-gen consoles. Is Sony making their own sh1t here? Will be it AI-based like DLSS and XeSS? Maybe Sony isn't pleased with FSR's results (and who can blame them?). I'm surprised more console games don't use XeSS, it produces better image quality than FSR in my experience (although that wasn't true when XeSS first came out).

I agree, XeSS is better than FSR and pretty close to DLSS from what I've seen.
