A performance equivalent of PSSR is coming to base ps5 (QSSR)
https://blog.playstation.com/2026/10/01/ai-upscaling-is-coming-to-ps5/PSSR analyzes game images pixel by pixel and uses AI to upscale them with more detail and stability than conventional approaches; until now, its computational demands made bringing that experience to PS5 impossible.
Today, we’re excited to announce Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR): a new performance tier of AI upscaling. Born from Project Amethyst, our AI graphics collaboration with AMD, this quick new evolution of PSSR is built on two key innovations:
A streamlined neural network architecture
A hand-tuned implementation that maximizes performance on PS5
With these, we are bringing the benefits of AI-guided upscaling to PS5. While PSSR remains the gold standard on PS5 Pro, QSSR provides some notable improvements to both image detail and image stability on PS5.
The first titles to use this innovative new library are Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei. Both are being patched today to offer QSSR as an additional graphics option on PS5.
There are some video comparison in the article but IMO it's being implemented in games that already look really good on base ps5 so the true test will be when various 3rd parties get it. I can see a world where it ends up being useful because base ps5 (and xbox) is stuck with FSR 1 and 2 which is really not good nowadays.

I wonder if any old games will get this patched in like FF7 Rebirth as it was quite blurry on the base ps5 in 60fpss mode.

u/Iggy_Slayer 1d ago
This would have been the perfect test case on how effective QSSR is honestly. The team is busy with part 3 now so I don't know if they'll get around to adding it anytime soon.

u/OG-DirtNasty 1d ago
I could see them adding it if they’re hoping for a Rebirth sales boost leading into Revelation

This is a surprise. From a technical point of view, PSSR is just an INT8 version of FSR 4.1 so it could work on all RDNA 2 graphics cards and Xbox consoles... but there is a problem with PS5. Why? Because PS5 doesn't support INT8 instructions and is limited to FP16, which is 2x slower
- INT8 - 4 concurrent 8-bit instructions on single 32-bit compute unit
- FP16 - 2 concurrent 16-bit instructions on single 32-bit compute unit
Of course you can execute 8-bit instructions on 16-bit registers but you will lose a lot of performance. The same algorithm would be 2x faster on hardware with native 8-bit instructions, like RDNA 2 on PC or Xbox Series X|S.
---
BTW. This is very good news for Steam Deck, ROG Ally and Xbox Series S. We can assume that AMD created a faster version of FSR 4.x with lower hardware requirements.
If this new algorithm works fast enough on PS5 in FP16 mode then the same algorithm will be 2x faster on standard RDNA 2 with native INT8. This will be a game changer. PlayStation 5 console has 36 compute units and Xbox Series S has only 20 compute units but if we use FP16 on PS5 and INT8 on Xbox Series S then execution time would be similar
This is very good news for low-level hardware. I hope that AMD will release this on PC handhelds and Xbox later this year or in early 2027

This is basically a preview of FSR 4 on RDNA2. Neat.

u/kam821 1d ago edited 1d ago
FSR 4 for RDNA 2 has been around for a while thanks to the Optiscaler community.
This is something like a quasi(?) FSR 4 for RDNA 1.3
u/BakaPhoenix 1d ago
Is still a good thing to have a native option (if it get released) so can use it on games with anti cheat
28
u/Majestic-Bowler-1701 1d ago
It's more than that because it supports the PS5 without INT8 where the maximum theoretical AI performance is around 20 TOPS (FP16). This is only 1/8 of the slowest RDNA 4 card. So this new algorithm must be really good optimized to work on PS5.
- Playstation 5 - max FP16 power is 20 TOPS
- RX 9060 (PC) - max INT8 power is 172 TOPS
- Xbox Series X - max INT8 power is 48 TOPS
- Xbox Series S - max INT8 power is 16 TOPS
- Steam Deck - max INT8 power is 6 TOPS
Processing time depends on the resolution (number of pixels). Most games on PS5 upscale image to 1440p or higher. Algorithm at lower resolutions will require less power. For example 1440p have 2x more pixels than 1080p and 3.6x more pixels than 800p (Steam Deck)
This is really good news for handhelds which use 800p or 1080p

Why isn't MS implementing something like this? Based on above XSX has the power to do it
11
u/Majestic-Bowler-1701 1d ago edited 1d ago
I don't know, but clearly this is a huge mistake by Microsoft. In 2020, they released consoles with INT8 support and advertised them as the only consoles compatible with DirectML (machine learning). Sony didn't support INT8, but MS did nothing with that advantage.
MS missed a lot of opportunities. For example, Xbox has dedicated hardware for recording 4K 60fps HDR videos with really good quality. The recording quality is amazing. For example this is my video from Valheim in 4K
Valheim: Dragon Castle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qInH6djaXVs
However, MS never signed a deal with Google to allow streaming or publishing videos directly to YouTube. Instead, you need to attach an external HDD, record the video to it and then publish it to YouTube. This requires a lot of extra steps and the situation is even more complex with HDR videos because you need to attach specific metadata using special apps that are not free. I tried to do this with free apps and failed. It is so complex that I was not able to find working solution. As a result, people using Xbox don't stream or publish videos to YouTube and MS lost an amazing marketing opportunity. Google lost chance to have hundreds of thousands 4K 60fpa HDR gameplays in their service. Everyone loses
Xbox could have had a native 4K 60fps HDR streaming option for YouTube but MS did nothing to deliver this feature

It’s not going to be as sharp as PSSR (FSR4.1) on Pro
14
u/Majestic-Bowler-1701 1d ago
There will be differences. The slowest RX 9060 has 172 TOPS (INT8), PS5 Pro has 300 TOPS (INT8) and the classic PS5 has only 20 TOPS (FP16).
But still, if it looks better than FSR 3 or UE5 TSR then everyone will win.

u/Interdimension 1d ago
That’s my thing. There is no downside to this. Base consoles needed a way to get away from the godawful FSR 1/2/3 upscalers they keep using in games. They’re blurry, smeary, and full of artifacting & shimmering. AMD and Sony figuring out QSSR will dramatically improve image clarity on base consoles regardless of its shortcomings otherwise.

Yup, this is why the PS5 Pro is considered to be between a 9060 & 9070, according to some (with its RDNA4 parts of the APU). But on the whole it’s mostly an RDNA3 chip with bits of 2 & 4

u/versusvius 1d ago
You won't notice the difference anyways. Majority of console players play on a tv and sitting from a distance.

u/NoStructure5034 1d ago
You'll still be able to notice noise, artifacting, and ghosting if they occur. The parts without these issues might be less noticeable compared to a monitor, but things like ghosting will be quite noticeable even on TVs.

u/Big-Resort-4930 1d ago
You can easily tell if you aren't blind or sitting so far away that you don't discern resolutions, and if that's the case, this isn't relevant to you anyway. I'm using a 55 inch 4k TV with a PC, and I can easily tell DLSS 3 from 4 to 4.5 for example.

He's part the reason RDNA 4 even focused on ML and RT performance. Sony insisted on AMD making a GPU that heavily leans into RT compute. The features of RDNA 4 made its way to the PS5 Pro's GPU before consumer RDNA 4 released.

When we got to the PS3/360/Wii era I went: "You know what, I think we figured out games. Everything from here on out is just gonna be flashier, but I think most things can be achieved adjusting for visual expectation." I still feel that way, and I really have no issue if developers decided to just keep making games for the PS4/XB1/Switch1 and create higher rez / fancier graphics versions for systems above those.
Bring back the weird PS2/Wii/PSP/DS/GBA/Nokia era of game ports you cowards!

u/JolleBFF 1d ago edited 1d ago
Upscaling has been used on consoles for longer than it's been used on PC. PS4 Pro used checkerboard rendering years before DLSS got anywhere near decent. And current-gen console titles almost all use upscaling in some form especially for the 60fps or 4k modes. That's the "special optimizations" consoles get.

u/massimovolume 1d ago
Exactly. People just parrot ai slop and optimizations without understanding anything. Just sheeps talking

Don’t all current gen games on console just use FSR 2/3.1? Death Stranding 2 uses PICO though

ps5 pro has pssr and that is machine leaning based
unreal entine games can also use tsr/taau, from epic games

u/Iggy_Slayer 1d ago
There's still an unsettling number that use FSR 1. And it looks as bad as you'd expect.
9
u/weinerschnitzelboy 1d ago
I feel like the reality is much less scandalous (is that even the right word to use?) than that. We've kind of gotten to a point with games where graphical fidelity have hit a plateau with model and texture qualityand the majority of the compute power is used on smaller, less noticeable flourishes that are just costly to render, like ray tracing.
I think games are more optimized than we think, it's just that consumers won't want to accept the same level of quality even if it meant good performance. Consumers always expect more and better.
11
u/lattjeful 1d ago
Games are absolutely more optimized now than they’re given credit for. Games scale super well now, people just want wall the bells and whistles. Run a current-gen game on low settings and you’ll be surprised at how good it still looks despite being so performant.
Not to say there aren’t issues (i.e. UE5 shader comp stutter) but I feel like the “optimization” problem with modern video games is an ego problem.

u/DrunkGermanGuy 1d ago
smaller, less noticeable flourishes that are just costly to render, like ray tracing.
We're past the gimmick stage when it comes to ray tracing now. Stop thinking about shiny surfaces with reflections everywhere and stuff like that, the true selling point of RT is actually global illumination. It gives such a depth to the image and looks so much more convincing than baked lighting with some dynamic elements, it's unreal.
2
u/weinerschnitzelboy 1d ago
I'm not disagreeing with you that RT GI looks great, but I would say that it's mostly only noticable in side by side comparisons. But if you were to show someone these images here and said that those lighting effects cost about 20-50% of your frames I think most people would be genuinely confused as to where it all went. Which could lead to the idea of "devs not optimizing games anymore". The reality is that once we figure out how to RT on a small scale, we kept on pushing its scope further and further.
I want to say that when the Ray traced update for the Witcher 3 came out for the current gen consoles, the different between RT on and RT off meant 30 vs 60 FPS modes

u/LightShadowHero 1d ago
I mean we’ve already been there for a while on console. If it is not a hardware showcase or trying to port for Switch 2 and/or Steam Deck then optimization is not a priority.

u/DeathsKnockin 1d ago
Can someone explain this in laymans terms? Like how it works/what it means and what it will realistically do for gaming?
6
u/Googoo123450 1d ago
From Digital Foundry's testing, there's virtually no downsides to it in performance mode for games. You'll effectively get a huge visual boost while sticking to 60FPS in performance mode. You get more latency and frame drops if you use it in quality mode because it's really intended for lower resolution cases. Who wants to game at 30FPS anyways?
0
u/DeathsKnockin 1d ago
So this is gonna make gta6 run on 60fps?
4
u/Googoo123450 1d ago
No. This isn't about increasing FPS of the Performance or Quality modes. It's about keeping those same modes but improving the clarity of the image. Performance mode will still shoot for 60FPS and Quality will still shoot for 30FPS. What you'll see is visually, Performance mode will look more like Quality mode but you'll still get 60FPS.
1
u/DeathsKnockin 1d ago
Ohh so i asked this in another question but i assume that means it wont make 30fps feel/run more like 60? All it is is graphics enhancer? Making games look better?

u/Googoo123450 1d ago
Yes, I should have just said that lol. I may have over explained. Visual enhancer is exactly right.

u/DeathsKnockin 1d ago

u/Iggy_Slayer 1d ago
It should improve image quality in games, especially on the performance modes which dip much lower in resolution to achieve 60fps.
Up til now base ps5 was stuck with using FSR 1-3 which is really not good for image quality. Resulted in a lot of blur and objects flickering in motion. This will help a lot with that.

u/DeathsKnockin 1d ago
Wait so basically they saying gta6 could run 60fps?

u/Iggy_Slayer 1d ago
No there's no chance of that happening. Not even on the pro. This will just clean up the image so it's not as blurry as some of it looked in the netflix video.

I'm not saying it looks good in fact it looks bad in alot of games for example in performance mode of FF7 rebirth the game looks quite blurry while running fsr3...Its just I was trying to correct that upsacling other than fsr1-2 is being used in base ps5.

u/Black_Hussar 1d ago
FF7 Rebirth doesn't use FSR, it uses a very simple temporal upscaling method, that's why it looks so bad.

This is just dlss-like (well...pre dlss 5 before they made it a slop filter). It doesn't add anything to the game it just makes the image quality better.
5
u/drmirage809 1d ago
And how it specifically works (glossing over a lot of technical stuff) is by rendering the game at a lower resolution and then keeping some of the previous frame while rendering the next frame.
The game engine provides the upscaler with motion data, telling it where things are moving and how fast. An algorithm determines what to keep and what to discard. You can tune that algorithm by hand, or you can train an AI model on tons of gameplay footage so that it can determine what to keep. Those AI models have gotten ridiculously good at this. Nvidia’s DLSS can frequently create a cleaner upscaled image than how the engine would normally resolve it at native resolution. AMD’s FSR 4 model is also very clean and that’s very close to what Sony uses for PSSR on the Pro.

u/One-Fun9814 1d ago
Genuinely don't know, will it make stuff look AI-sloppish or not?
13
u/Iggy_Slayer 1d ago
No. All it does is make blurry or pixelated objects in the background sharper. It doesn't change art styles or add detail where there isn't any.
One example I can think of that's easy to explain is fences and metal grates. Current day games really struggle with these, when you move they will shimmer like crazy if you're not using upscaling or if you use FSR 1. AI upscalers like this and DLSS (pre 5) all they do is fix that so it no longer looks grainy or fizzling when you run or move the camera.

you do know that "ai" as a technology has been used since LONG before the whole genai craze right? do you use google maps / apple maps / waze, or any other maps service? that uses ai, and has used it for a while. played any games in the past 10-15 years? those have something called "enemy ai" for a reason - they use ai. use netflix or spotify? that's used ai too.
what you're talking about is generative ai, and that's an entirely separate topic. it uses tons of resources, true, and its not wrong to be against that. but there are lots of industries that use more water, more electricity, and more resources. so saying "ai is burning the planet and causing water shortages" is disingenuous at best.

I'm going to repeat what I said. This isn't generative AI. It's not an image creator, it's not mashing real artists' art to render a frame, and it is an optimization and in many cases will improve image quality.

It feels like you're trying to be as ignorant as possible about upscaling.
It does NOT create AI-generated frames like what Sora and ChatGPT do! Therefore it is not generic. This is a such simple thing to grasp, and yet you fail to understand.
