Following the patch released on Sunday, August 9, 2026, users have reported new headaches stemming from the update's attempt to stabilize the upscaler.
Current Status
The update was specifically designed to resolve PSSR-related concerns on the PS5 Pro. However, the fix has created secondary issues within the game.

What This Means for Players
