Sony is expanding its Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR) technology to additional PlayStation 5 games, including Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and upcoming titles like ARC Raiders and The Finals.
This rollout aims to provide sharper, more stable image quality across both Quality and Performance modes on existing console hardware.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 updates
Insomniac Games has integrated the upscaling technology into Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 through an update available to players. The studio previously utilized the tech for Marvel’s Wolverine. “We are looking forward to players returning to our 2023 title and seeing for themselves the benefits of Quick Spectral Super Resolution,” said Mike Fitzgerald, head of technology at Insomniac Games.
Remedy Entertainment implements QSSR for Control
Remedy Entertainment plans to release an update for Control Resonant in December that incorporates the new upscaling feature. The studio worked directly with Sony to tune the implementation for their title. “Quick Spectral Super Resolution provides the game with a much more stable and detailed image,” said Erik Jansson, a programmer at Remedy Entertainment.
Embark Studios brings tech to ARC Raiders and The Finals
Embark Studios confirmed that both ARC Raiders and The Finals will receive support for QSSR in upcoming updates. The technology is designed to improve visual fidelity for a wider range of users within the PlayStation ecosystem. “We are very happy that Sony continues to invest in PlayStation technologies and brings such meaningful improvements to all players,” said Mikael Linderholm, technical director at Embark Studios.
Technical impact on game performance
The implementation of QSSR serves as a bridge for performance gains on standard PlayStation 5 hardware, mirroring the visual advancements introduced with the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution on the PlayStation 5 Pro console.
