Arc Raiders Gets PS5 Pro PSSR Upscaling on April 28

When Arc Raiders rolled out update 1.26 on April 28, PlayStation 5 Pro owners gained access to the newly refined version of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). This machine‑learning driven upscaling engine scrutinizes each pixel to deliver a crisper, higher‑resolution output.

The enhanced PSSR introduces a suite of tangible gains that will be immediately apparent to PS5 Pro users, especially in the richly detailed, high‑pressure environments that Arc Raiders is celebrated for.

Sharper, steadier visuals with reduced flicker and shimmer: The upgraded PSSR consistently delivers clear imagery across all settings, preserving fine details while significantly cutting visual artifacts such as flickering and shimmering. This results in a cleaner, more uniform picture, particularly in complex scenes.

Improved motion fidelity: The new PSSR excels at reconstructing moving geometry with greater accuracy than traditional upscaling methods. Whether it’s wind‑blown foliage or high‑speed Arc drones slicing across the screen, fine details remain crisp and well‑preserved during motion.

Arc Raiders has tackled one of the most stubborn visual nuisances in modern gaming—ghosting on translucent effects. By refining the PSSR engine, the developers have dramatically smoothed out the motion blur that once plagued particle systems and moving semi‑transparent elements. A prime illustration is the rain system, which now appears far cleaner and more realistic.

“With the upgraded PSSR, we can deliver higher image quality and stability, cutting visual noise in-game without any performance loss,” the team noted. “This lets players enjoy the game’s world with fewer distractions.”

The new PSSR required only minimal fine‑tuning of the game’s assets, yet the results remained consistent across Arc Raiders’ diverse environments—from sprawling outdoor vistas to chaotic firefights filled with particles and dynamic lighting.

“The improved PSSR brings substantial gains in image quality, especially in challenging scenarios with many small details in motion,” the developers added. “It’s impressive to see how well it performs across the wide variety of complex scenes we have in Arc Raiders.”

The latest PSSR upgrade for the PS5 Pro will drop into the system on April 28, bundled with the 1.26 update for Arc Raiders. Players using the standard PS5 model will still enjoy the familiar TSR upscaling, which remains unaffected by this new patch.

We’re eager to see how the community reacts to these visual upgrades, and we’ll keep scouting for fresh technologies that can push image quality even further in the future.
