What Is QSSR? PS5 AI Upscaling Explained

What does QSSR do on PS5?

Quick Spectral Super Resolution uses AI to improve the detail and stability of an upscaled image on PS5. Sony introduced it on October 1, 2026, describing a streamlined neural network and an implementation tuned for the console. It grew out of Project Amethyst, Sony’s graphics collaboration with AMD. Read Sony’s introduction.

For the hardware distinction, see our QSSR and PSSR comparison. The guide library also groups the setup instructions and technical explanations in one place.

Which games already have support?

The official announcements checked on November 14, 2026 confirm released support for Marvel’s Wolverine, Ghost of Yōtei, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Five other named games have announced updates still to come. Use the QSSR games list to compare released and upcoming support before checking your own game.

Sony’s November 13 announcement distinguishes Spider-Man 2’s live update from the other developers’ forthcoming updates. A headline naming a game does not, by itself, establish availability.

How can I verify a game’s status?

Look for a statement about that specific game from its developer or PlayStation, then check whether it describes a released patch or a future plan. Keep the announcement date separate from the support date. If a version number or setting is missing, leave it unconfirmed instead of borrowing another game’s instructions.

For example, Insomniac’s Wolverine v1.002.000 notes explicitly confirm QSSR and say it is on by default. Our setup guide explains the available evidence for each released game.

Does this guide measure the image-quality improvement?

No. This is a source-based explanation and support reference, rather than a performance test. It does not establish a frame-rate gain, an output resolution, or a best graphics mode for your game. Those questions need evidence tied to the game version, console, settings, and scenes being compared.
