PS5 Pro Games Might Need Special Patch for 2026 PSSR Update
PS5 Pro PSSR will get a 'drop-in replacement' in 2026, says Mark Cerny
In a recent interview with Tom's Guide, PlayStation architect Mark Cerny said that the new PS5 Pro upscaler will be 'a drop-in replacement for the current PSSR' that developers can easily accommodate. However, he didn't elaborate further.
Now, reliable AMD leaker Kepler L2 (via Wccftech) has suggested that Sony's current upscaler isn't set up to allow 'system-level DLL swaps,' which means that existing PS5 Pro Enhanced games won't have immediate support for the new upscaler right out of the gate. Studios will have to patch their games if they want to take advantage of the new tech.
As previously mentioned, Cerny did say that it will be easy for devs to accommodate the 2026 upgrade, but whether all developers will be on board to patch their exsiting games or not remains to be seen.
That said, PS5 Pro has seen robust support from the industry, so we don't foresee a long list of unpatched games.

Trump Bid for Cut of Nvidia, AMD Revenue Risks ‘Dangerous World'
(Bloomberg) -- Even in an administration that has repeatedly pushed the legal limits of using economic statecraft to reshape the global business landscape, a new deal with two tech giants is raising alarm bells among trade experts. Sunseeking Germans Face Swiss Backlash Over Alpine Holiday Congestion New York Warns of $34 Billion Budget Hole, Biggest Since 2009 Crisis Three Deaths Reported as NYC Legionnaires' Outbreak Spreads A New Stage for the Theater That Gave America Shakespeare in the Park Chicago Schools' Bond Penalty Widens as $734 Million Gap Looms Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. agreed to pay the US government 15% of revenue from some chip sales to China. The chips — Nvidia's H20 AI accelerator and AMD's MI308 chips — were earlier banned by the Trump administration and require export licenses to sell. 'To call this unusual or unprecedented would be a staggering understatement,' said Stephen Olson, a former US trade negotiator now with the Singapore-based ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. 'What we are seeing is in effect the monetization of US trade policy in which US companies must pay the US government for permission to export. If that's the case, we've entered into a new and dangerous world.' The chip-payment arrangement is the latest legally questionable, heavy-handed government intervention into business since US President Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office in January. Along with his chaotic tariff campaign and persistent criticism of a sitting Federal Reserve chairman, Trump has used his Truth Social platform for everything from calling on CEOs to resign to offering commentary on corporate advertising campaigns. Trump's transactional policy approach saw him approve the sale of United States Steel Corp. to Japan's Nippon Steel Corp. in a $14.1 billion deal that included caveats such as agreeing to US national security rules and a 'golden share' for the US government. Japan, South Korea and the European Union all pledged to invest billions in the US, helping secure tariff rates of 15%, while companies such as Apple Inc. have also skirted levies by promising to invest hundreds of billions of dollars. The Nvidia and AMD revenue-sharing deals may now prompt the White House to target other industries and goods, according to Deborah Elms, head of trade policy at the Hinrich Foundation in Singapore. 'The sky is the limit,' she said. 'You could come up with all sorts of company-specific, country-specific combinations that would say, 'No one else can trade, but if you pay us directly, then you get the ability to trade.'' Although Nvidia and AMD agreed to the terms, there are questions about the legality of the agreement, Elms said. The arrangement looks like an export tax, which is forbidden by the US Constitution. The Trump administration is already in the midst of a lawsuit related to his use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to levy what he called 'reciprocal' tariffs on the world. On Friday, Trump warned of a 'GREAT DEPRESSION' if US courts ruled that his tariffs were illegal. Chips are at the heart of the US-China battle to dominate industries of the future such as AI and automation. The Biden administration restricted the sale of advanced chips to China, prompting Nvidia to develop the H20, which skirted such restrictions. Trump administration officials tightened export controls in April by barring Nvidia from selling the chips without a permit. Last month, however, the White House decided to allow Nvidia and AMD to resume sales of chips designed specifically for the Chinese market, which are several rungs below the most advanced artificial intelligence accelerators. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the administration wanted Chinese developers 'addicted' to American technology. China has grown increasingly hostile to the idea of Chinese firms deploying the H20, particularly after the US called for the chips to be installed with tracking technology to better enforce export controls. Yuyuantantian, a social media account affiliated with state-run China Central Television that regularly signals Beijing's thinking about trade, on Sunday slammed the chip's supposed security vulnerabilities and inefficiency. Still, Chinese companies could use the H20s because domestic firms can't produce enough AI chips to meet demand. That potentially provides an opportunity for Nvidia and AMD to sell more — and now for the US government to earn additional revenue as well. Trump has yet to extend a 90-day trade truce between the US and China, which is set to expire on Aug. 12. Lutnick said last week that the detente was 'likely' to continue as the world's biggest economies continue to engage in talks ahead of a possible meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping later this year. 'There's clearly a shift by the administration to take a lighter national security stance as these negotiations are ongoing,' said Drew DeLong, lead in geopolitical dynamics practice at Kearney, a global strategy and management consulting firm. China Draws Red Lines on US Chip Tracking With Nvidia Meeting While the US has intervened before, including by taking stakes in private companies after the 2008 financial crisis, a similar deal like the one struck with Nvidia and AMD is hard to remember and — without proper oversight — could lead to a 'crony capitalism state,' according to Scott Kennedy, senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. 'It represents a huge shift in the way the American economy is supposed to operate,' Kennedy said. 'It won't make anyone happy except maybe the Chinese, who will get their chips and watch the US political system go through gyration and domestic tensions.' The Game Starts at 8.
