QSSR Upscaling Goes Live in Spider-Man 2 on PS5, 5 More Follow

Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), Sony's AI-guided upscaler for the standard PlayStation 5, is live now in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, according to a PlayStation Blog post published at 14:00 UTC (3 p.m. CET, 9 a.m. ET) on November 13, 2026. Control Resonant, The Finals, ARC Raiders, No Man's Sky and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam are next.

The post is written by Daniel Craig, Principal Engineer, Graphics R&D at Sony Interactive Entertainment. Sony introduced QSSR last month and says it is built on the same foundation as PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) on PS5 Pro, and can deliver “sharper details, cleaner edges, and more stable images than traditional upscalers.” Because QSSR shares its interface with PSSR, Sony calls it a natural fit for games that already support PSSR.

Spider-Man 2 gets QSSR now, Control Resonant in December

Insomniac Games' update for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is live now and works in both Fidelity and Performance modes, the post says. Insomniac's team had seen good results with QSSR in Marvel's Wolverine before bringing it to the 2023 game. For recent changes to Spider-Man 2, see our report on the Brand New Day suit update.

“We’re excited for players to swing back into our 2023 title and see QSSR’s exciting image stability and sharpness benefits in both Fidelity and Performance modes.”

Remedy Entertainment is bringing QSSR to Control Resonant on PS5 in an update coming in December, with noticeable improvements in image stability and fine detail, according to the post. Remedy has not given a date for the update.

“QSSR gives Control Resonant a much more stable and detailed image, and we’ve worked closely with Sony to have it ready in an update coming in December.”

- Erik Jansson, Senior Graphics Programmer, Remedy Entertainment, PlayStation Blog

The Finals and ARC Raiders are listed as coming soon

Embark Studios will add QSSR to both The Finals and ARC Raiders. The post gives only “coming soon” for each and no date. For the latest ARC Raiders changes, see our report on update 2.3.

No Man's Sky follows in weeks, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam in an update

Hello Games says QSSR will reach No Man's Sky in the next few weeks, the only title besides Spider-Man 2 and Control Resonant with a time frame in the post.

“QSSR (Quick Spectral Super Resolution) allows us to render the universe in sharper, cleaner and more beautiful detail, while delivering the best possible framerate. Look for it in the next few weeks.”

- Sean Murray, Founder, Hello Games, PlayStation Blog

Expression Games confirms QSSR for Hell Let Loose: Vietnam on PS5 through an upcoming update. Game Director Paul Rustchynsky says it will bring sharper, cleaner image quality to the battlefield, from dense jungle to full-scale firefights. The post gives no date.

QSSR grew out of Project Amethyst, and more games are planned

Sony says QSSR, like the upgraded PSSR on PS5 Pro, grew out of Project Amethyst, its ongoing collaboration with AMD. It adds that developers are just getting started and that it wants to bring QSSR to more PS5 games in the coming months.

The post gives no exact dates for the Control Resonant, The Finals, ARC Raiders, No Man's Sky or Hell Let Loose: Vietnam updates, and it names no further games.
