Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 PSSR Issues on PlayStation 5 Pro to Be Fixed Soon, Developer Confirms
The PlayStation 5 Pro version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been plagued by PSSR (Post-Processing Screen Space Reflections) issues, including white flickering pixels and smearing of ultra-fine details. However, these problems will soon be a thing of the past. Speaking with Digital Foundry, Michal Drobot, the game’s Principal Rendering Engineer, confirmed that fixes are already in the pipeline and will roll out after undergoing quality assurance.
The PSSR Issue Explained
The current PSSR implementation in Black Ops 6 appears to perform well in anti-aliasing but struggles with denoising, particularly with shadows, variable rate shading (VRS), and screen space reflections (SSR). This mismatch causes:
White Flickering Pixels: An annoying visual artifact in certain gameplay scenarios.
Smearing of Fine Details: Blurring of ultra-fine details due to improper denoising.
Drobot emphasized that the development team is actively refining the PSSR to address these issues, promising an improved visual experience for PS5 Pro players in an upcoming patch.
Enhanced Performance on PlayStation 5 Pro
In their in-depth analysis, Digital Foundry praised the technical improvements introduced in Black Ops 6 on the PlayStation 5 Pro, which include:
Higher Visual Fidelity: Enhanced textures, lighting, and reflections compared to the base PS5 model.
Optimized Engine: Updates to the Black Ops 6 engine maximize the hardware capabilities of the PS5 Pro.
While the PSSR issues slightly detract from the otherwise impressive visuals, the forthcoming fixes are expected to bring the game in line with its technical potential.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is currently available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Fans on the PS5 Pro can expect the upcoming patch to resolve PSSR-related issues, ensuring a smoother and more visually immersive gaming experience.
