Sony Expands QSSR Image Scaling Support to Standard PlayStation 5 Games
The Tech TL;DR:
- Sony Interactive Entertainment expanded Quick Spectral Super Resolution support to the base PlayStation 5 console, bringing PSSR-derived upscaling principles to standard hardware via lightweight neural networks.
- Insomniac Games technician Mike Fitzgerald confirmed that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 received the QSSR patch, following similar application in Marvel’s Wolverine.
- Additional titles including Control, No Man’s Sky, The Finals, ARC Raiders, and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam are slated for QSSR updates over the coming weeks and months.
Sony Interactive Entertainment announced on Wednesday, November 13, 2026, that it is expanding support for its proprietary Quick Spectral Super Resolution neural image scaling technology to base PlayStation 5 consoles, GameGPU reported.
Developed in collaboration with AMD under Project Amethyst, the algorithm brings the underlying principles of the advanced PSSR upscaler found on the PlayStation 5 Pro to the standard console version. The lightweight neural network improves fine detail clarity, removes sub-pixel shimmering on small objects, and increases overall frame stability compared to traditional image reconstruction methods.
Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is the first title to receive the patch.
Remedy Entertainment’s Control reduces distant architectural shimmering through the neural network expansion. Over the coming weeks, Hello Games will update No Man’s Sky to refine procedural planets and star systems, while Embark Studios prepares patches for The Finals and ARC Raiders. Expression Games also confirmed upcoming support for Hell Let Loose: Vietnam.
