Sony is rolling out new tools for devs which will potentially make the base PS5 experience better for everyone, as the console approaches its sixth anniversary.
As exclusively revealed by our friends at Digital Foundry, the new QSSR – or Quick Spectral Super Resolution – is a “refined” version of the acclaimed PSSR found on the PS5 Pro.
For those who don’t know, PSSR – or PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution – is an AI-based technology that in essence allows devs to reduce computational overhead by rendering their games at a lower resolution which can then be upscaled with minimal image quality compromises.
In its original guise, the proprietary solution – which functions similarly to Nvidia’s industry-leading DLSS – exhibited some drawbacks, but it was refined earlier this year with the massively updated PSSR2, which has been producing great results across both first-party and third-party titles.
QSSR is not the full-fledged PSSR experience – PS5 Pro includes silicon expressly assigned to machine learning – but the long-and-short here is that there’s “remarkable” potential for devs to massively improve the way their base PS5 games look and run.
Digital Foundry reports via a hands-on that support is currently only available in Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost of Yotei, although the tools will be made available for all devs to implement should they choose. Both games will be updated today to support the tech, as confirmed on the PS Blog.
There’s no word just yet on whether Rockstar will be adopting it for GTA 6, but the technology will be there for the UK studio to adopt.
While it’s only been able to test two titles so far, Digital Foundry says the quality boost in Marvel’s Wolverine specifically can be “exceptional”.
