Sony is widening the reach of its AI upscaling technology on the standard PlayStation 5, naming six additional games that will use Quick Spectral Super Resolution, the company said in a PlayStation.Blog post. The group includes Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Control Resonant, Arc Raiders, The Finals, No Man’s Sky and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam.
The announcement follows Sony’s October unveiling of QSSR, a lighter-weight upscaler derived from the PSSR technology built into the PS5 Pro. At launch, the company said the feature was already running in Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei. The latest batch roughly triples the number of titles confirmed to support it.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is the only one of the six whose QSSR patch is already available. Insomniac Games head of technology Mike Fitzgerald said the studio’s earlier work on Wolverine convinced it to extend the technology to the 2023 release, adding that players will see gains in image stability and sharpness in both Fidelity and Performance modes.
Remedy Entertainment plans to ship QSSR for Control Resonant in a December update. Senior graphics programmer Erik Jansson described the feature as bringing a PS5 Pro-style jump to the base console, saying it produces a more stable and detailed image, and noted the studio worked closely with Sony to have the patch ready.
Embark Studios will bring the technology to both of its PlayStation titles, Arc Raiders and The Finals, though it did not give a date. Technical art director Mikael Linderholm said the update should sharpen images and improve environmental clarity, and welcomed Sony’s continued investment in PlayStation technology.
Hello Games founder Sean Murray said a No Man’s Sky patch is due within the next few weeks, promising sharper, cleaner visuals at the best achievable frame rate. Expression Games game director Paul Rustchynsky confirmed Hell Let Loose: Vietnam will receive QSSR through an upcoming update, with no timing disclosed.

Sony said developers interested in the technology are “just getting started,” and that additional PS5 titles will receive similar updates in the months ahead without identifying them. The open question among PS5 owners is whether Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto VI will support QSSR; that answer is expected around the game’s launch next week.
For Sony, the rollout is a way to carry a premium-console feature down to the standard PS5 install base without a hardware refresh, giving first- and third-party studios a tool to lift image quality on aging hardware. For publishers, QSSR support has become a low-cost visual selling point, and for players it may narrow the gap between the base console and the PS5 Pro.
