PlayStation has announced new tech of the standard PS5 to somewhat shrink the performance gap between it and the Pro model. Where the latter has the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), the former is now getting Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR). Two games will benefit from this first – Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost of Yotei – and both are getting patches to offer the tech as a new graphics option on the base model console.
While the PS5 is getting some of the benefits of the Pro model in that it’s getting “notable improvements to both image detail and image stability”, PlayStation maintains that “PSSR remains the gold standard”. Digital Foundry got an early hands-on with the tech, and said that “upscaling to 1440p is the more natural target for QSSR – which is what a lot of lower resolution PS5 games are doing anyway”.
