🎮 Sony’s QSSR upscaling technology is expanding to six more PS5 games to deliver sharper details and cleaner image quality
👏 Games receiving QSSR updates include Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Control Resonant, ARC Raiders, and The Finals
👍 No Man’s Sky and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam are also slated to get QSSR support in upcoming updates
📅 Sony confirmed that additional PS5 titles will gain QSSR support in the coming months
Last month, Sony announced Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), a new upscaling tech for PS5 that delivers sharper details, cleaner edges, and more stable image quality.
It’s built on the same foundation of PS5 Pro’s PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and after launching with Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost of Yotei, it’s now coming to six more PS5 games.
In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Insomniac Games shared that QSSR is coming to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Mike Fitzgerald, head of technology at Insomniac Games said: “Having seen great results integrating QSSR in Marvel’s Wolverine, our team decided to bring it to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 as well, in an update that’s live now! We’re excited for players to swing back into our 2023 title and see QSSR’s exciting image stability and sharpness benefits in both Fidelity and Performance modes.”
QSSR is also coming to Control Resonant in December, as well as ARC Raider and The Finals soon. “With the new QSSR coming soon to ARC Raiders and The Finals, we can deliver increased sharpness, better environmental clarity and overall visual improvements to even more PlayStation players,” said Mikael Linderholm, technical art director at Embark Studios.
No Man’s Sky will receive QSSR support in the next few weeks, with Hello Games’ founder Sean Murray saying: “The team has always been passionate about pushing the boundaries of technology on PlayStation. QSSR (Quick Spectral Super Resolution) allows us to render the universe in sharper, cleaner and more beautiful detail, while delivering the best possible framerate. Look for it in the next few weeks.”
Finally, QSSR is also coming to Hell Let Loose: Vietnam. ““We’re delighted to confirm that we are adding QSSR to Hell Let Loose: Vietnam on PlayStation 5 through an upcoming update. Console visuals are something our community has been passionate about, and QSSR will bring sharper, cleaner image quality to the battlefield, from dense jungle to the chaos of a full-scale firefight. We can’t wait for our PlayStation players to see the difference,” said Paul Rustchynsky, game director at Expression Games.
Sony says that QSSR will come to more PS5 games in the following months, and that developers are just getting started.
