ARC Raiders
Arc Raiders utilizes Temporal Super Resolution (TSR) on the base PS5 to render its complex environments. On PS5 Pro, update 1.26 replaces standard upscaling with an upgraded version of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). This ML-driven upscaler delivers a cleaner, more stable image with reduced temporal shimmering, clearer motion, and significantly reduced ghosting on particle and weather effects without impacting performance. While both platforms maintain their core rendering setups, the PS5 Pro patch offers a noticeable image quality uplift.
