Sony brings AI-powered upscaling to the standard PS5
The base PS5 is getting an optimized version of Sony's AI-powered upscaling technology, offering developers a new way to improve image quality and stability without demanding more powerful hardware.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as Sony adding AI upscaling to the base or regular PS5, and both name Quick Spectral Super Resolution as the feature. The Verge is alone in emphasizing Sony’s blog-post framing of QSSR as a “new performance tier” and linking it to Project Amethyst with AMD. Engadget is alone in saying Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei are the first games to support it.
