Sony Brings a Lighter PSSR Upscaler Called QSSR to the Base PS5, Starting With Wolverine

Sony announced Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR) on October 1, a lighter version of the PS5 Pro's AI upscaler that runs on base PS5 hardware. Games render at a lower resolution and QSSR rebuilds the image. Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yotei got patches enabling it the same day, and Digital Foundry called Wolverine's result exceptional. Developers have to add support game by game.
