Avatar Dev Will Let You Turn Off PSSR as It Fixes Poor PS5 Pro Patch | Push Square

Ubisoft has revealed in a Twitter statement that it is looking at fixing the PS5 Pro patch for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora that was implemented last week. While it works on the update, a hotfix coming this Thursday, 12th December 2024 will add a toggle that allows PS5 Pro owners to actually turn off the PSSR feature completely. When turned off, the console will revert back to the «same upscaling technology» of the base PS5.

«Our team is working on addressing the issues introduced with the PlayStation 5 Pro update for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora,» the statement said. It continues: «We will continue improving the quality of the PS5 Pro Quality Mode (60FPS) using PSSR. We will let you know as soon as we can share more.»

After the hotfix is implemented, the PS5 Pro mode will still be available for owners of the upgraded console, but so too will the Performance and Quality settings the base system has access to. These were originally removed from the PS5 Pro version when the update dropped.

While the PS5 Pro patch for Avatar was welcomed at first, players quickly noticed shimmering issues were causing the PSSR feature to drop the image quality of the game. These sorts of shimmering flaws have affected other titles such as Silent Hill 2 on PS5 Pro.

This should have been a option from day one.

PSSR has been a mixed bag for sure. It needs this time to iron out some flaws so it is in better shape for PS6. But all that non sense about the PS5 Pro being a RTX4070 and how it will blow past the everything has really dried up. With many saying they don’t see much of a difference in most games. Sure some have taken advantage of it correctly and likely will as more time passes. But thats hardly a great look for a $700 plus console. Hopefully Sony is gathering
