Like Nvidia's DLSS, Sony's PlayStation Super Spectral Resolution (PSSR) on the PS5 Pro uses AI to upscale games to provide sharper image clarity on a 4K TV for one of the best games consoles. There have been some visual issues with previously released games, but Ubisoft now seems convinced about PSSR.

It's been reported that Ubisoft is now preparing to release a patch for Assassins Creed Shadows to provide PSSR support. But not all fans are sure they want it.

Ubisoft told Eurogamer, that it didn’t implement PSSR support in Assassin’s Creed Shadows at launch as it got better results from its own proprietary upscaler. But it said that after working with Sony to address issues, it now thinks that PSSR will outperform its own solution.

“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,” the developer said.
