The Riven Tides update (version 1.26) for ARC Raiders is now available and brings substantial changes. A sixth map to explore is included, a new ARC enemy that promises to test players, and more content. But the main focus is on a performance improvement that only PlayStation 5 Pro users will be able to enjoy.
PSSR: the upscaling that polishes the image without sacrificing frames 🎮
This update integrates the latest version of PSSR, Sony's upscaling technology. The system reconstructs the image pixel by pixel to offer greater sharpness without modifying the frame rate. In practice, this means that PS5 Pro players will see a notable jump in visual definition while performance remains stable. A technical solution that optimizes the graphics department without the usual performance compromises.
The rest of the world plays, PS5 Pro users see every pixel 🔍
While us mortals with standard hardware continue to deal with textures that sometimes look like they're from a PS3 game, the lucky PS5 Pro owners will be able to count the pores on the new ARC enemy. Sure, the advantage comes at a price: the cost of the console hurts more than the creature itself. But hey, at least now they'll be able to clearly see how they get killed.
