In a recent discussion, Mark Cerny shared insights into AMD’s RDNA 5 architecture, developed with Sony, which is already influencing the graphics capabilities of the anticipated PS5 Pro. With innovations like FSR 4 and PSSR set as seamless enhancements, the groundwork for a powerful performance boost is being laid.
Although Cerny didn’t specify an exact update, his remarks suggest Sony is prepping the PS5 Pro for a substantial upgrade, potentially aligning with blockbuster releases such as GTA 6.
Fans on Reddit have responded with a mix of excitement and skepticism about the rumored FSR 4 support for the PS5 Pro. Some hope for exclusive features like a 60 FPS mode for GTA 6, while others caution against expecting consistent 60 FPS due to similar CPU specifications with the base PS5. A savvy commenter noted that achieving around 40 FPS natively could allow the console to upscale to about 60 FPS through frame generation.
Interestingly, Cerny hinted that his work goes beyond just PlayStation tech, potentially benefiting the wider gaming industry. This has sparked speculation that similar enhancements might appear in future Xbox consoles.
If the speculation of a May 2026 update holds true, it could breathe new life into the PS5 Pro, transforming its current lukewarm reception. So far, users have noticed little difference in gameplay compared to the base PS5. This update might offer Sony a valuable opportunity to capture gamer interest if executed well. Meanwhile, fans hope Sony’s strategy to bridge gameplay experiences on PC, PS5, and Xbox remains their only inspiration from Microsoft.
