Disclaimer: SWJ uses PSSR1 natively, so this page still displays PSSR1 metrics. However, as of September 26, the 'Enhance PSSR Image Quality' toggle (which forces PSSR2 upscaling) is activated by default. PSSR2 was made the default because it resolves a sharper, more stable image and removes PSSR1's film grain-like noise. Digital Foundry also reviewed SWJ with PSSR2 and confirmed these improvements (especially foliage, despite its new dot patterns), so PSSR2 is recommended.
Pro now uses the latest PSSR1 version. While far less noisy/unstable/shimmery than the older ugly/pulsing implementation seen at Pro's launch, these issues still remain and look worse than base PS5's FSR. Especially with foliage and RT reflections (all issues are fixed with PSSR2, though the RT can look overly sharp in motion). PSSR1 does beat FSR in motion clarity though, though looks softer in stills (again, fixed with PSSR2). Finally, Pro performance mode also brings back RT that's not in the base PS5 version, but the implementation is still worse than either PS5's quality mode.
