As said, the new software update offers system-wide supersampling, and while this should improve image quality on PS4 Pro for non-4k displays, Sony already warned that it could lower framerates in some instances.

Supersampling mode allows you to get picture quality comparable with 4K even when connecting PS4 Pro to a TV with a resolution of 2K or below

The effect depends on the game – not every improvement will be noticeable. In some games, you can also reduce the frame rate per second.

As covered earlier, the update also introduces the option to use custom wallpapers through USB and offers various library UI improvements alongside Time Play Management.

Sony released the 5.50 beta software earlier this year.
