Soon, the firmware of Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro console will be upgraded to version 5.5. In principle, the supermodel platform is particularly beneficial to users with large 4K TVs at home, but with the new software update, the company gives another reason for gamers with FullHD displays to change with the Pro version. A new feature in the firmware allows very precise and effective smoothing of the edges. It is activated manually by each PlayStation 4 Pro owner and so far, according to Sony, it boasts mostly positive feedback.
The function is called Supersample Anti-Aliasing and works in a relatively simple way - with its excess power, the console reproduces a 4K image, which at the same time decreases to a 1080p resolution with higher picture quality or well-edged edges. While some games offer graphical improvements for users with the PlayStation 4 Pro and 1080p display, the many titles do not take advantage of the system's capabilities at lower 4K screens at all. However, this feature comes directly from the PS4 Pro software and can always be applied (or almost always). Critics say the edging is tangible in titles such as Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection and The Last of Us Remastered. On the other hand, however, games such as The Last Guardian and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 are starting to work at very low frames per second, which is detrimental to gamers, and therefore it is better to deactivate the feature.
Firmware 5.5 for PlayStation 4 / Pro is currently in beta testing and it is not known when it will be available to all users.
