Sony has confirmed Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Arc Raiders, and four more games are receiving QSSR support on base PS5s.
The list of six newcomers joining the small-but-growing group of supported games was unveiled in a PlayStation.Blog post. In addition to confirmation that incoming updates will add QSSR (Quick Spectral Super Resolution), the post included testimonials from each of the studios’ developers, who shared how the tech will impact visuals.
When Sony pulled back the curtain on QSSR in October, it came with confirmation that it had already been implemented in Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei. Now, we know that Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Remedy Entertainment’s Control Resonant, Embark Studios’ Arc Raiders and The Finals, Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky, and Expression Games’ Hell Let Loose: Vietnam will soon take advantage of the AI upscaling tech.
In the case of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, QSSR is available as part of a new update that’s out now.
“Having seen great results integrating QSSR in Marvel’s Wolverine, our team decided to bring it to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 as well, in an update that’s live now!” Insomniac head of technology Mike Fitzgerald said. “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 said QSSR will bring noticeable improvements in image stability and fine detail when it launches in a new update in December. Hello Games founder Sean Murray, meanwhile, promised that players can look forward to No Man’s Sky looking “sharper, cleaner, and more beautiful” at the “best possible framerate” in the next few weeks. When exactly The Finals, Arc Raiders, and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam will receive their updates has yet to be announced.
“With the new QSSR coming soon to ARC Raiders and The Finals, we can deliver increased sharpness, better environmental clarity, and overall visual improvements to even more PlayStation players,” Embark said. “We are very happy to see Sony’s continued investment in PlayStation technology translate into meaningful improvements for all players, bringing more immersive experiences across the PlayStation ecosystem.”
Sony then teased that developers interested in using QSSR are “just getting started.” More PS5 games are set to receive similar updates in the coming months, though which titles will join the list remains to be seen.
