Sony Brings PS5 Pro-Style AI Upscaling to the Standard PS5

Editorial update (4 October 2026): We have corrected this report to match Sony Interactive Entertainment’s 1 October announcement. An earlier version described specific hardware throughput, internal rendering targets, numerical precision, frame-rate gains and game-level visual improvements that Sony did not substantiate in that announcement. Those claims have been removed. Our full, sourced coverage is Sony Brings QSSR to the Standard PS5.

Sony says Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR) is a new AI upscaling option for the standard PlayStation 5. It was developed through Project Amethyst, Sony’s collaboration with AMD. According to Sony, QSSR uses a streamlined neural network and a carefully tuned implementation for the standard console. Sony continues to describe PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) on the PS5 Pro as its higher-end option.

Sony named Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei as initial games receiving QSSR updates. It also said developers will be able to use the technology more broadly. The company did not publish a universal resolution target, a guaranteed frame-rate improvement, or a promise that every PS5 game will receive QSSR. Results depend on each game’s implementation and need independent testing.

This page covers the same announcement as our earlier, more detailed QSSR report. Please use that report for the complete context and source links.
