PlayStation 6 Will Likely Have Sony's Own Take on Frame Generation, According to Latest Patent

Frame generation is established tech in games at this point. We already knew that Sony was looking at the tecnology for the PlayStation 6, but the company has filed a new patent that gives a better idea of how it'll work. The patent, titled "Generation Super Sampling," (US-20260320740-A1), describes a mostly standard form of frame generation, where the model takes information from a traditionally rendered frame and then uses that information to generate an interpolated frame. The nightmare scenario in my head is developers using it as a crutch, forcing it on to hit 30 or 60 fps in a game that'd otherwise be getting 15–20 fps.
