PlayStation Brings QSSR AI Upscaling to PS5, Starting With 2 Launch Titles

Summary

  • QSSR, a lighter version of the PS5 Pro’s AI upscaling, reaches base PS5 models starting today in Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei.
  • Project Amethyst—PlayStation’s graphics AI collaboration with AMD—produced the new system, which uses a streamlined neural network and hand-tuned implementation to fit standard PS5 hardware.
  • PlayStation says QSSR improves image detail and stability, though it still positions PS5 Pro’s PSSR as the higher-end “gold standard.”
  • The company plans to offer QSSR broadly to all PlayStation developers, but it has not said which existing or upcoming games beyond the first 2 will adopt it.
