Sony Brings AI Upscaling to Base PS5 via New QSSR Tech

Sony Interactive Entertainment has introduced Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), a new AI upscaling technology for the base PlayStation 5. Developed through the Project Amethyst collaboration with AMD, QSSR uses a streamlined neural network and FP16 math to improve image detail and stability on the standard console. The technology was released on October 1, 2026, via patches for 'Marvel's Wolverine' and 'Ghost of Yōtei'. While the PS5 Pro retains the superior PSSR as the 'gold standard', QSSR offers a drop-in replacement for developers, requiring only minor tuning adjustments.
