Sony Brings QSSR AI Upscaling to the Standard PS5

Sony has brought an AI upscaling feature called QSSR to the standard PlayStation 5, according to a cnBeta report dated October 2, 2026. The full name given to the technology is Quick Spectral Super Resolution. Until now, this type of machine-learning-based image enhancement had only appeared on the PS5 Pro, where Sony named the equivalent capability PSSR.

With QSSR, the base PS5 can now use machine learning to improve in-game visuals, the report says, mirroring the approach Sony previously reserved for its higher-end console. The first games listed as supporting QSSR are Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei. Players obtain the new graphics option through a free update rather than a paid upgrade or new hardware.

That is the extent of what the report covers. It does not explain how QSSR works internally, how it differs from PSSR on the PS5 Pro, or what effect it has on resolution, frame rates, or image quality. It also does not list any further games beyond the two launch titles, nor does it give a rollout schedule for the feature or state whether all standard PS5 units receive it at the same time. As reported, the situation rests at the point where Sony has released QSSR for the standard PS5, with Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei as the first supported titles and the option delivered via a free update.
