PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution’s Goal Is to Deliver 4K/120 FPS, 8K/60 FPS Gameplay, but Not on PS5 Pro
The main internal goal of the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler is to deliver 4K, 120 frames per second and 8K, 60 frames per second gameplay, although it won't be achieved on PlayStation 5 Pro due to hardware limitations.
A new report by Insider Gaming reveals some additional information on Sony's yet-to-be-revealed upscaler, which will debut with the PlayStation 5 Pro. According to the report, the PS5 Pro's PSSR currently supports 4K resolution and is aiming for 4K, 60 FPS and 8K, 30 FPS, but the goal for the future is to hit the 4K, 120 FPS, and 8K, 60 FPS targets, which are not possible on the upcoming hardware refresh due to hardware limitations.

In the second case, the upscaler allows for 60 FPS gameplay with ray tracing enabled, although it doesn't specify at which resolution.
