In a new step that enhances the future of graphics in video games, AMD in collaboration with Sony announced that FSR4 (FidelityFX Super Resolution 4) technology will be fully available to PlayStation 5 Pro developers in 2026, as part of a joint project known as Project Amethyst.
Mark Cerny, Lead System Architect at Sony, confirmed that this technology, developed in collaboration with AMD, is not a simplified version but represents the full version of the intelligent upscaling algorithm that the platform will rely on to improve graphics quality and increase performance in the next generation of PS5 Pro games.
A Step Towards an AI-Powered Graphical Future:
Cerny explained that FSR4 will replace the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) system, which was launched with the PS5 Pro release in late 2024. It will offer higher performance through dedicated support for workloads associated with machine learning technologies.
He indicated that this initiative is not a proprietary technology, but rather part of a broader vision to advance the industry. It will be available to all AMD customers without restrictions, emphasizing that Sony aims to provide a robust engineering foundation for the next generation of home consoles.
RDNA 5: Deep Collaboration Redefining Graphics Architecture
In the same context, Cerny revealed that significant parts of AMD’s upcoming RDNA5 architecture were developed in collaboration with Sony, reflecting the depth of this technical partnership, which goes beyond what was achieved in the development phases of the PS5 and PS5 Pro.
This partnership aims to create AI-powered graphics solutions, including technologies like Frame Generation and Ray Regeneration, in an effort to deliver more realistic and dynamic visual experiences.
Distinction from AMD’s Partnership with Microsoft:
This announcement comes just days after AMD announced a new partnership with Microsoft focused on developing upcoming Xbox devices, including portable devices like the ROG Ally. However, AMD’s partnership with Sony appears to be more focused on innovation in graphics quality and image processing using AI technologies.
Conclusion:
With the upcoming launch of FSR4 technology on PS5 Pro, it appears that Sony and AMD are preparing the next-generation platform to deliver a superior visual experience based on AI. This move may redefine the landscape of game development in the near future.
