The PlayStation 5 Pro’s compatibility with AMD’s FSR 4 is turning out to be more complicated than expected. A recent insider revelation suggests that the PlayStation 5 Pro won’t run the same AMD FSR 4 model used by RDNA 4 GPUs. According to KeplerL2, a prominent AMD insider who shared insights on the NeoGAF forums, the system’s hardware was designed before AMD switched FSR to a machine-learning model. As a result, the PlayStation 5 Pro lacks FP8 support, which may make it challenging to run the full version of AMD’s FSR 4 upscaling technology. While PlayStation fans had hoped that games featuring AI-powered upscalers would automatically support FSR 4 on the PS5 Pro, it seems that developers may need to update their games for compatibility once the technology arrives in 2026. The PS5 Pro is also set to include PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), but its integration has been inconsistent across various games, and with this additional hurdle, the future of FSR 4 on the console is uncertain.
In addition to FSR 4, the PS5 Pro promises improvements that will enhance the gaming experience, from better performance to stunning graphics. For more details on the PS5 Pro’s features and its potential, you can check out Kai’s detailed review of the console.
