The new tech, called Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), is a \u201cnew performance tier of AI upscaling\u201d that\u2019s a result of Sony\u2019s Project Amethyst work with AMD, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/2026\/10\/01\/ai-upscaling-is-coming-to-ps5\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">according to a blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Sony says that PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), which is available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/reviews\/24289319\/ps5-pro-review\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PS5 Pro<\/a>, \u201cremains the gold standard,\u201d and in Digital Foundry\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalfoundry.net\/news\/2026\/10\/hands-on-with-qssr-ai-driven-upscaling-for-the-standard-ps5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">early hands-on with the tech<\/a>, it does seem that QSSR isn\u2019t as fast as PSSR because the PS5 doesn\u2019t have dedicated machine learning silicon. As a result, you should probably expect closer to an upscaled 1440p resolution on PS5 instead of the upscaled 4K on PS5 Pro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">\u201dOn PS5 Pro, developers almost uniformly output to 4K and adjust render resolution beneath it,\u201d Sony principal graphics R&amp;D engineer Daniel Craig told Digital Foundry. \u201cOn PS5, teams have to be more flexible, tuning not just render resolution, but also their intermediate and final presentation targets depending on the graphics mode.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">But Craig also said that QSSR is \u201cfundamentally a drop-in replacement for titles that already support PSSR\u201d after only a few days of tuning, making it likelier that PS5 developers will take advantage. The tech will be \u201coffered broadly to all PlayStation developers,\u201d Sony says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Marvel\u2019s Wolverine and Ghost of Y\u014dtei will be the first games to take advantage of QSSR, and are getting patches today to offer the tech as \u201can additional graphics option on PS5.\u201d (Ghost of Y\u014dtei Complete Edition <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/games\/989310\/a-closer-look-at-ghost-of-yoteis-most-wanted-mode\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">also launches today<\/a>.) Here are a couple videos from Sony showing off how QSSR looks in those games, and it appears to make graphics a little bit sharper:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Digital Foundry writes that \u201cthe potential here is remarkable: low resolution and poor upscaling have impacted so many titles in this generation, but QSSR could make a big difference.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sony is launching a new AI upscaling technology specifically for the regular PS5.
