Sony Interactive Entertainment has started rolling out details on the PS5 system software beta for August, with email invites now being sent out to users. Many of the changes with this latest firmware beta are related to the PS5 Pro, specifically PSSR 2.0.
As you may recall, the format implemented the option for ‘Enhance PSSR Image Quality‘ back in March; however, this beta now turns this option on by default. This means that any games that supported the original version of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution will now automatically benefit from PSSR 2.0.
You can check out the full patch notes below.
- We’ve turned on Enhance PSSR Image Quality as a default setting. When you update the system software, this setting automatically turns on. When you enable this feature, enhanced PSSR is used even for games that support the previous version of PSSR so you can enjoy a sharper and clearer visual experience.
- To turn off this setting, go to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output > Enhance PSSR Image Quality.
- This feature is available only on PS5 Pro.
- We’ve changed the following features for PS5 consoles and PS5 Pro consoles in certain countries or regions:
- If you go to Settings > Accessories > General > Advance Settings and select Turn Off Bluetooth, you’re no longer able to put your console into rest mode. Additionally, HDMI link is no longer supported when you select Turn Off Bluetooth.
- The Turn Off Bluetooth function is for managing controller connections at esports venues and similar locations. Do not use this feature for any other purpose.
- We’ve improved system software performance and stability.
The PS5 was released in November 2020 and was plagued by stock shortages for nearly two years, thanks largely to a shortage of components brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sony announced recently that the console has now passed the 95 million shipment milestone.
