GamingPS5 ProSony’s latest PS5 firmware update is rolling out now to the platform's beta programme, bringing a major quality-of-life feature for PS5 Pro consoles15:26, 10 Aug 2026Updated 15:28, 10 Aug 2026A new PS5 firmware update rolled out to beta testers has been hailed as a "total gain" for PS5 Pro owners. Participants in the PS5 Pro beta programme have now benefitted from a number of new features but one has especially caught the eye.‌The top addition for beta testers is an automatic toggle on for the Enhance PSSR Image Quality. It means that the newer AI-enabled upscaling tech, PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution 2.0, is activated as default as soon as beta participants turn their PS5 Pro console on.‌Sony has even promised that the enhanced PSSR will create a "sharper and clearer visual experience" for games that supported the previous version of PSSR. It was previously set up so that gamers had to manually toggle the setting on.‌As reported by Eurogamer, PSSR was first introduced at PS5 Pro's launch but faced backlash until it was improved a few months later. However, many titles depended on developers releasing a patch to take advantage of PSSR 2.0.Now PSSR 2.0's toggle is set to on by default, although players can still turn it off if they wish. To do so, gamers must navigate to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output > Enhance PSSR Image Quality.Sony said: "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." The move was praised by fans on Reddit.One Redditor wrote: "Makes sense to default the toggle to on. It’s a total gain to have it on."Another said: "Yes it was kind of dumb to default it to off in the first place." A third added: "Should have been like that from the start."Article continues belowThere are more features for beta testers to enjoy with the latest firmware update. Gamers can now turn off the PS5 Pro's Bluetooth antenna entirely.This is mainly designed with eSports in mind, aiming to eliminate any problems pairing controllers with the right console when several consoles are in close proximity. However, this disables Rest Mode and the HDMI Link feature that automatically turns on a TV or monitor when the PS5 Pro powers on.Finally, Sony claims the firmware update "improves system software performance and stability".Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌PS5 ProPS5SonyPlayStation
