The PlayStation 5 Pro is likely to support AI upscaling in some form, judging from a leaked Marvel's Wolverine slide that's been making the rounds online.
The slide, which is part of the huge Insomniac Games leak from last month, details some of the tech the game will feature or that's being investigated. Alongside film-quality facial animation, better destruction, real-time damage and regeneration, real-time global illumination, dynamic weather and foliage, deformable surfaces, and improved locomotion, the game starring one of Marvel Comics' most beloved heroes is also going to feature AI upscaling powered by machine learning, and a 60 frames per second base framerate in performance ray tracing mode. As the PlayStation 5 doesn't feature any dedicated hardware to support AI upscaling, it is extremely likely it will only be supported on the PlayStation 5 Pro. It's also most definitely not referring to AMD FSR support, as the tech is not powered by machine learning, unlike NVIDIA DLSS.
This isn't the first time it has been suggested that the PlayStation 5 Pro will support AI upscaling, as a recent leak revealed how the console will have dedicated hardware for it. While the leak may not be entirely accurate, it is believable regarding the console's CPU, as the rumored Zen 2 CPU makes the most sense, given how other chips would bring the manufacturing costs high.
The PlayStation 5 Pro has yet to be revealed by Sony. We will keep you updated on the system as soon as more come in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
