PS5 QSSR: Games With AI Upscaling on Base PS5

Sony is bringing AI upscaling to the standard PS5. The feature is called QSSR (Quick Spectral Super Resolution), it needs no new hardware, and on November 13 PlayStation named the next games to get it: Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has it today, and Control Resonant, The Finals, ARC Raiders, No Man’s Sky and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam follow in the coming weeks. Here is the full list, what QSSR does and does not do, and what to check on your console.

Last checked on November 14, 2026. Official Everything in the tables below comes from two PlayStation Blog posts by Sony’s graphics engineering team, October 1 and November 13, plus the developers’ own quotes in them. Reported Image quality claims are from the studios and from Digital Foundry’s hands-on; we have not measured frame rates ourselves.

What QSSR is

Official Sony describes QSSR as “a new performance tier of AI upscaling” that grew out of Project Amethyst, its AI graphics partnership with AMD. It is built on PSSR, the upscaler that has run on PS5 Pro since launch, but uses “a streamlined neural network architecture” and a “hand-tuned implementation” so it can run on the standard PS5. Sony says PSSR “remains the gold standard on PS5 Pro”; QSSR brings “notable improvements to both image detail and image stability” on the base console.

Reported Digital Foundry explains the trade-off: QSSR gives up some accuracy for speed, so it should not match PSSR on a Pro, but it should beat the usual software upscalers on PS5 such as TAA, Unreal’s TSR and AMD’s FSR 3, especially for image stability. Because it shares its interface with PSSR, a game that already supports PSSR can add it with little work, Sony and Digital Foundry both say.

Every PS5 game with QSSR, and the ones coming

Game	Status	When	What the developer says
Marvel’s Wolverine	Official Live	Oct 1 (patch 1.002)	On by default on PS5, per Insomniac patch notes quoted by Push Square
Ghost of Yōtei	Official Live	Oct 1 (with the Complete Edition)	Optional graphics setting; Sucker Punch praises its temporal stability
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2	Official Live	Nov 13 (update 1.006.000)	Sharper and more stable image in both Fidelity and Performance modes
Control Resonant	Official Coming	December update	“A much more stable and detailed image” (Remedy)
The Finals	Official Coming	“Coming weeks”	Increased sharpness and environmental clarity (Embark)
ARC Raiders	Official Coming	“Coming weeks”	Same Embark statement as The Finals
No Man’s Sky	Official Coming	“Next few weeks”	Sharper, cleaner image “while delivering the best possible framerate” (Hello Games)
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam	Official Coming	“Upcoming update”	Sharper, cleaner image quality (Expression Games)

Official Sony says the list will grow: “Developers are just getting started,” and QSSR will come to “more games on PS5 in the coming months”. It is available to all PlayStation developers, first and third party.

What it does not change

It is not a new console. A game has to be patched to support QSSR; nothing changes in games that are not updated. Sony has not published a list of every future title.
It is not PSSR. PS5 Pro owners keep PSSR, which Sony calls the better option.
No fixed frame-rate promise. The studios talk about image stability and sharpness. Only Hello Games mentions frame rate, and only as a goal.
GTA 6 is not on the list. Sony and Rockstar have not said QSSR will be added to Grand Theft Auto VI. Rockstar has confirmed 30 fps on base PS5; see GTA 6 FPS and PS5 Pro extras. We treat any claim about GTA 6 and QSSR as unconfirmed until Rockstar or Sony says so.

How to get QSSR on your PS5: a 4-step checklist

Update the game. Spider-Man 2 needs update 1.006.000 or later, according to Insomniac’s release notes.
Open the game’s graphics or display settings and look for the QSSR option. Wolverine turns it on by default; Ghost of Yōtei lists it as an additional graphics option.
Test both modes. Spider-Man 2 supports QSSR in Fidelity and Performance, so compare them on your own TV.
Keep auto-updates on. The next games will arrive as ordinary patches over the coming weeks, and Control Resonant’s is due in December.

Our math Counting the November 13 post, 8 PS5 games now have a confirmed QSSR date: 3 live and 5 scheduled, which is 5 of 8 still waiting (62.5%).

Key takeaways

QSSR is Sony’s AI upscaler for the standard PS5, free through game patches.
Live: Marvel’s Wolverine, Ghost of Yōtei and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Next: Control Resonant (December), The Finals, ARC Raiders, No Man’s Sky and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam.
PS5 Pro keeps PSSR, which Sony calls the gold standard.
No GTA 6 support has been announced.
