Watch: PlayStation’s new graphics tech is a form of wizardry

PlayStation has announced that six years after launch, it will be rolling out new technology to make games look better.

In October, the group announced Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), bringing AI-guided upscaling to both the PlayStation 5 and the PlayStation 5 Pro.

Built on the same foundation as PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) on PS5 Pro, QSSR can deliver sharper details, cleaner edges, and more stable images than traditional upscalers.

Sony has now announced that the technology will now be implemented in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Control Resonant, The Finals, ARC Raiders, and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam.

“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,” said Mike Fitzgerald (Head of Technology at Insomniac Games).

Remedy Entertainment said it is bringing QSSR to Control Resonant on PS5, with noticeable improvements in image stability and fine detail.

“It’s great to see PlayStation bringing the same kind of leap on the PS5 that PSSR brought to PS5 Pro. QSSR gives Control Resonant a much more stable and detailed image, and we’ve worked closely with Sony to have it ready in an update coming in December.”

“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. We are very happy to see Sony’s continued investment in PlayStation technology translate into meaningful improvements for all players, bringing more immersive experiences across the PlayStation ecosystem,” said Mikael Linderholm, (Technical Art Director at Embark Studios).
