The story
On October 2, Sony announced “Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR),” an AI upscaling technology for the PS5. Until now, PSSR was exclusive to the PS5 Pro, but QSSR brings AI-powered image enhancement to the standard PS5 as well. Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei were the first titles to support it, via patches released the same day. On 5ch’s hardware board, opinions split between those who said the official comparison video showed “almost no difference” and those who praised the sharper edge definition, with the discussion also touching on comparisons to the Switch 2’s DLSS support and the technical details of how the processing actually works.
What people said
Upscales game visuals into sharper, more stable images. Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei support it starting today, Friday, October 2, via a new patch.

Nothing happened to it
You just use both
It's not like those low-spec consoles
It's in the blog post — this is a feature for the base PS5. The PS5 Pro just uses PSSR instead
PSSR was Pro-only because of the processing power gap
QSSR is the AI upscaler that makes that same kind of upscaling possible on a regular PS5 too
PS5, whose QSSR supports Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei
Both Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei are flops, and here they go chanting the same dumb incantation again
Not something the guy who was over the moon about DLSS should be saying
In theory, sure, but the specs aren't there to make it actually usable
At a glance it actually looks pretty different
Why are you lying like that?
It looks exactly the same, there's no way you can tell the difference
What, you got 20/10 vision or something?
Sounds like GTA6 might support it too
Lol, dreaming big when it doesn't even support PSSR
Sony's got an official comparison video up, go check it out
it's literally, completely identical
Felt like I was doing one of those Saizeriya spot-the-difference placemats (a family restaurant chain famous for puzzles with absurdly subtle differences)
I mean, I can tell it's a bit sharper, but honestly I'd take better framerate over image quality any day…
Is this the kind of difference that feels like a PS4-to-PS5 leap to the true believers?
Games have moving footage, so a difference this small?
You'd never even notice
Same thing happened with PSSR — the differences were so hard to spot people were zooming in like crazy trying to find them lol
Hope it doesn't bug out and start making it rain indoors or something lol
Wonder if the base PS5 will also slash its internal resolution hard like the Pro does — hope Monster Hunter and FF are gonna be okay
It's because Xbox just added this genuinely groundbreaking feature where owning the disc also gets you a digital license
so they threw out this lame announcement to bury that news before it could spread
Probably only works on two games because they rushed the implementation lol
I mean, judging "it's just Radeon" based on some limited, bottlenecked RDNA1-ish chip is way off base though
of course the pigs (derogatory 5ch term for Nintendo fans) who always play at potato-quality resolution wouldn't notice
Deep down, I know you're thinking
"wait, this doesn't look any different, does it?"
Shouldn't you be mad at Sony instead, for making you feel this pathetic?
They're trying to con you with a meaningless feature like this, you know?
Examples using the "magical" DLSS (lol) on that low-spec pig hardware (derogatory term for Nintendo consoles):
Or are you just playing dumb because you're too salty to admit it? lol
You're just forcing yourself to feel like you get it, aren't you?
Are you being serious right now?
Background and Key Points of the Debate
PSSR is an AI upscaler that debuted in fall 2024, exclusive to the PS5 Pro, using machine-learning-based inference to produce sharper output than traditional checkerboard rendering. QSSR is positioned as an adaptation of that same processing to run on the standard PS5, and as of this announcement, support is limited to the two titles that received the day-one patch. The thread split on a single point — whether the difference is actually visible in comparison images — a criticism that has come up repeatedly with AI upscaling announcements, since static screenshot comparisons often struggle to convey the real-world effect. It’s also worth noting that terms like “Nishi” and “buta” (pig) are standard rival nicknames for Nintendo fans used on 5ch’s hardware/industry (“geha”) board, part of the board’s usual back-and-forth rather than attacks on any specific individual.
