AI upscaling is reaching the **standard PS5**. Sony [announced Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR) on October 1](https://blog.playstation.com/2026/10/01/ai-upscaling-is-coming-to-ps5/), with **Marvel's Wolverine** and **Ghost of Yōtei** receiving patches that add it as a graphics option.

## An AI upscaler built for PS5

QSSR comes from **Project Amethyst**, Sony's graphics collaboration with AMD. It combines a smaller neural network with an implementation tuned for PS5, aiming to improve fine detail and image stability within the console's performance budget.

## How it relates to PSSR

Sony's [PS5 Pro PSSR overview](https://blog.playstation.com/2026/02/27/upgraded-pssr-upscaler-is-coming-to-ps5-pro/) describes an AI library that reconstructs higher-resolution images from game frames. QSSR brings a lighter approach to the standard console, while **PSSR remains Sony's higher-tier solution on PS5 Pro**.

For players, the immediate step is to update either supported game and look for its added graphics option. Wider availability depends on developers integrating the library; Sony plans to offer it broadly to PlayStation developers. The announcement gives no universal resolution or frame-rate target, so the sensible comparison is between the available modes in each game.
