   Sony Launches QSSR AI Upscaling for Standard PS5

   Sony has released Quantum Super-Resolution (QSSR), an AI-driven upscaling technology for the standard PlayStation 5. The update provides sharper visuals to base model users without requiring a hardware upgrade to the PS5 Pro. Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yotei are the first titles to implement the technology. While QSSR brings AI-enhanced graphics to the base console, PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) remains exclusive to the PS5 Pro as the gold standard for upscaling.

   Why it matters

   AI upscaling typically requires significant processing power, which previously limited such features to high-end hardware. By bringing a version of this tech to the base PS5, Sony allows older hardware to maintain visual fidelity in demanding new titles. This deployment occurs ahead of anticipated major releases like GTA 6.

   What is confirmed

   • AI upscaling is coming to the PS5.
   • Sony released QSSR AI upscaling for the base PS5 to provide sharper visuals.
   • Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yotei are the first games to implement QSSR.
   • PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) remains exclusive to the PS5 Pro.

   Still unconfirmed

   • Radeon RX 5000 GPUs could receive QSSR if a transfer from PS5 is successful.
   • QSSR is a subordinate technology to PSSR.

   What to watch next

   • Performance benchmarks comparing QSSR and PSSR across multiple titles.
   • Confirmation of QSSR implementation in GTA 6.
   • Release of further software updates for Ghost of Yotei following the QSSR patch.
