Wuthering Waves PS5 Pro PSSR support arrives with Version 3.8 on 12 November 2026. The update adds PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution to PS5 Pro, which Kuro Games says can enhance the image resolution up to 4K. It’s an image-upscaling feature, not a guarantee that every scene runs at native 4K or a particular frame rate.
Kuro is also introducing Performance and Quality choices in the Graphics Quality settings on supported consoles. Those options won’t be available on every model. Here’s what has been confirmed, which consoles are excluded and what to check when the update arrives.
What is Wuthering Waves PS5 Pro PSSR?
PSSR stands for PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution. It’s Sony’s upscaling technology for PS5 Pro. In Wuthering Waves, Kuro says the feature can enhance the displayed resolution to as much as 4K, helping give the picture a sharper appearance.
Upscaling is not the same thing as rendering every frame at native 4K. The announcement doesn’t specify an internal rendering resolution, whether the feature uses dynamic resolution or how it performs in every scene. So, if you’re comparing screenshots or expecting a certain technical result, those details need real-world testing after 3.8 goes live.
How to enable Wuthering Waves PS5 Pro PSSR
First, install the Version 3.8 update on your PS5 Pro. Then open the game’s graphics settings and look for the new supported PSSR option. Kuro confirms the feature for PS5 Pro but hasn’t published a complete button-by-button walkthrough of the final settings screen, so the exact menu wording should be checked in-game.
There’s no indication you need an unofficial patch, a console developer menu or a separate paid upgrade. If you don’t see the option, check that you’re on PS5 Pro rather than the standard PS5, and that the game’s update has finished installing.
The image quality you see will also depend on your display. A 4K screen is useful for assessing the sharper image the developer is describing, but Kuro hasn’t published a universal comparison showing exactly how much clearer every scene will look.
Which consoles get Performance and Quality modes?
Version 3.8 adds a Graphics Quality setting with Performance and Quality options on supported console models. Kuro says the setting is not available on the standard PS5 or Xbox Series S. That’s an explicit exclusion, so players on either of those systems shouldn’t expect the new preset switch in their menus.
PS5 Pro is specifically confirmed for PSSR. That technology isn’t being announced for Xbox consoles. If you’re on Xbox Series X, check the settings available on your version of the game after the patch; the press preview doesn’t give a model-by-model breakdown of exact resolutions or frame rates.
The new Graphics Quality presets and Wuthering Waves PS5 Pro PSSR aren’t the same thing. One lets supported console players choose between different graphics priorities; the other is an image-upscaling technology on PS5 Pro.
Will Wuthering Waves run at 4K and 60 FPS?
The announcement doesn’t make that promise. It says Wuthering Waves PS5 Pro PSSR can enhance resolution up to 4K, but doesn’t provide a locked 60 FPS target, a 120 FPS mode or performance measurements for every console.
Once Wuthering Waves PS5 Pro PSSR is available, try the settings on your system and decide whether you prefer the look and feel of Performance or Quality. The labels suggest different priorities, but a reliable comparison needs the actual game rather than made-up benchmark numbers.
When is the PS5 Pro update available?
Version 3.8 maintenance is scheduled to end at 11:00 UTC+8 on Thursday, 12 November. That’s 3:00 AM GMT in the UK or 10:00 PM EST on Wednesday, 11 November in the eastern US. Kuro says that end time is estimated and may change if the downtime is extended.
To check for the patch on PlayStation, highlight Wuthering Waves on the console home screen, press OPTIONS and select Check for Update. The new graphics features won’t be available until the game is updated. Our Version 3.8 maintenance guide covers the times for other regions.
Are there any other console improvements?
Kuro is also improving Resonator animations, including turning in place, transitions between movements and reactions to combat hits. Those changes are separate from Wuthering Waves PS5 Pro PSSR and the Graphics Quality settings. The announcement doesn’t give numerical input-lag or frame-rate improvements, so there’s no firm performance gain to quote yet.
In short, the confirmed PS5 Pro change is PSSR upscaling to a displayed resolution of up to 4K. The new Performance and Quality settings will be available on supported console models, but not the standard PS5 or Series S. Check the live 3.8 menu for the precise choices on your system.
