AI upscaling is coming to PS5 (blog.playstation.com)

Sony has announced the introduction of Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR) for the PlayStation 5, a new AI upscaling technology that enhances image quality for players. Developed in collaboration with AMD as part of Project Amethyst, QSSR builds on the existing PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) system used in the PS5 Pro, delivering improved image detail and stability while optimizing computational efficiency. The first games to implement this technology will be Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei, both of which are receiving updates today. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it demonstrates the practical application of advanced neural networks in real-time gaming environments. QSSR's streamlined architecture and hand-tuned implementation allow developers to enhance graphics without the heavy computational burden typically associated with such enhancements. Insomniac Games and Sucker Punch Productions have both expressed excitement about the technology, highlighting its ability to provide clearer details and greater stability in game graphics, effectively bringing a Pro-like experience to standard PS5 users. As QSSR becomes available to all PlayStation developers, the potential for widespread improvements in game visuals is expected across future titles.
