We’re slowly beginning to see PS5 Pro show its true colours.

While the launch slate was strong, some sceptics complained that the $700 system wasn’t offering an obvious upgrade. But with Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft has tapped into the hardware’s horsepower, and offered a “generational upgrade”.

But the French firm’s not done with Sony’s supercharged system yet: it’s already committed to adding PSSR support in the future, and in an interview with Digital Foundry, it’s explained a little more about its thought process.

“In terms of PSSR, we analysed PSSR and TAA at the time of shipping Shadows and found better results with our TAA solution,” the studio explained.

“However, PSSR is a new upscaler and after an in-depth collaboration with Sony over the past few months, many issues have been addressed, mostly around moving vegetation and water: problems that other titles have faced.

“We’re now confident that the image quality with PSSR will always be better than with TAA.”

For those who don’t know, PSSR is Sony’s AI-based upscaler which allows it to resolve a crisp 4K image from a lower base resolution.

This allows developers to spend computational resources elsewhere, boosting framerates or visual settings without needing to worry about rendering native resolutions.
