Sony announced QSSR (Quick Spectral Super Resolution), a new AI upscaling technology for the standard PlayStation 5, on October 2, 2026. The company developed QSSR as an evolution of PSSR, the AI upscaling technology used on the PS5 Pro. Its first supported titles are Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yotei. The announcement covers the standard PS5 rather than the Pro model, and the technology uses AI to make video more detailed. Sony has not said when QSSR will be available, how it will be distributed, or whether existing titles will receive support. The disclosure names only the two launch titles and describes QSSR as an evolution of the PSSR used on PS5 Pro.
