- Saros will include PSSR 2 on PlayStation 5 Pro
- The PS5 Pro version will also offer an increased base rendering resolution at 60 fps
- Cutscenes will apparently run at 30fps on PS5 and PS5 Pro
This has been confirmed by developer Housemarque Saros will offer Sony’s updated PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) upscaling technology on the PS5 Pro, but apparently stated cutscenes will run at 30fps.
In a new PlayStation Blog post detailing the upcoming game’s PS5 and PS5 Pro features, such as immersive 3D audio, DualSense haptic feedback and fast load times, creative director Gregory Louden said the team has upgraded to PSSR 2 following its release last month.
Louden said the update “delivers an even sharper picture; you’re almost indistinguishable from native 4K when exploring Carcosa.”

“Since 1995, our goal at Housemarque has been to push the hardware and with Saros we are continuing this drive thanks to this PSSR update,” the director said.
Technical director Seppo Halonen also touched on the game’s increased base rendering resolution on PS5 Pro, meaning Saros “will have an even clearer, higher-resolution image at 60 fps.”
“While we use dynamic resolution to ensure stable frame rate even in the midst of hectic matches, PS5 Pro always delivers a sharper image in a scene-to-scene comparison,” he explained.
“Saros on PS5 already looks incredible and runs at a solid 60fps, but for PS5 Pro we’re pushing our graphics even further. Also, there are many small adjustments in reflections and overall quality, ensuring that the increase is not just more pixels, but the content we render scales up to match.”
But despite using PSSR 2, Saros‘ Story movies will apparently be at 30 fps on PS5 and PS5 Pro because Housemarque wanted to prioritize “quality over quantity”.
“The only place we’re switching to 30fps is in key story movies, where we’re going quality over quantity and rendering high-quality characters, lighting and finishing at the highest resolution – which again is higher on PS5 Pro,” Halonen said.
Saros will finally launch later this month on April 30, exclusively for PS5 and PS5 Pro.
