In short

As of 15 November 2026, three games use QSSR upscaling on the standard PS5: Marvel's Wolverine, Ghost of Yōtei and, since a 13 November update, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 [1][2][3]. Five more are confirmed: Control Resonant in December, No Man's Sky within weeks, and ARC Raiders, The Finals and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam later [1].

Key takeaways

  1. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 received QSSR in update v1.006.000 on 13 November 2026, in both Fidelity and Performance modes [1][2].
  2. QSSR is live in three games: Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei since 1 October 2026, plus Spider-Man 2 [3][5].
  3. Control Resonant is the only newly announced game with a month attached: Remedy says its QSSR update comes in December [1].
  4. No Man's Sky is due within the next few weeks; ARC Raiders, The Finals and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam have no date yet [1][6].
  5. QSSR is a per-game option: you update the game and choose it in that game's graphics menu, not in the PS5 system settings [3][7].
  6. PSSR on PS5 Pro still covers far more games, more than 110, against eight announced for QSSR [5].

Which games support QSSR on PS5 as of 15 November 2026?

As of 15 November 2026, QSSR is live in three games on the standard PS5: Marvel's Wolverine, Ghost of Yōtei and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 [1][2][3]. Sony has confirmed five more, bringing the announced list to eight games [1][5].

QSSR, short for Quick Spectral Super Resolution, is Sony's AI upscaler for the base PS5. It takes a game image rendered at a lower resolution and rebuilds it, and Sony says it is built on the same foundation as PSSR on PS5 Pro, which gives more detail and stability than conventional approaches [1][3]. Sony launched it on 1 October 2026, when Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei were patched the same day to offer it as an extra graphics option [3][4].

On 13 November 2026, Sony named the next group of games [1]. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was updated the same day; Control Resonant, ARC Raiders, The Finals, No Man's Sky and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam will follow over the coming weeks and months [1][6]. PC Guide's running list shows the same eight titles, three of them already available [5].

For the background on how QSSR started and why it reaches only certain games, the earlier Pouyam guide PS5 AI Upscaling (QSSR): Which Base PS5 Games Get It covers the October launch. This page tracks what has changed since then and what is still only a promise.

What changed for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on 13 November?

Insomniac Games released update v1.006.000 for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on 13 November 2026, adding QSSR on PS5 for better image detail and stability [2]. The studio's release notes describe the update in one line: the game now uses QSSR for improvements to both image details and image stability [2].

On the PlayStation Blog, Insomniac's head of technology, Mike Fitzgerald, said the team decided to bring QSSR to the 2023 game after seeing good results in Marvel's Wolverine [1]. He said players would see its image stability and sharpness benefits in both Fidelity and Performance modes [1]. VideoCardz and Gematsu reported the same detail: QSSR covers both graphics modes in Spider-Man 2, not only one [6][8].

That matters because Spider-Man 2 is a 2023 game, not a new release. Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei received QSSR on the day Sony introduced it [3], and Spider-Man 2 followed on 13 November [1]. The update shows that studios are willing to go back to older PS5 games rather than reserving the feature for new releases [1].

The update installs like any other game patch; if the PS5 has not installed it yet, check the game for updates.

Studios ship QSSR as a game patch, as Insomniac did with update v1.006.000 for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on 13 November.

When will Control Resonant, No Man's Sky and the others get QSSR?

Control Resonant is due in December 2026 and No Man's Sky within the next few weeks; ARC Raiders, The Finals and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam have no announced date [1][6]. The timings come from the studios' own statements on the PlayStation Blog [1].

Remedy Entertainment gave the most concrete date. Senior graphics programmer Erik Jansson said Remedy had worked closely with Sony to have QSSR ready in an update coming in December, and that it gives Control Resonant a much more stable and detailed image [1]. Hello Games founder Sean Murray told players to look for QSSR in No Man's Sky in the next few weeks [1].

Embark Studios said QSSR is coming soon to ARC Raiders and The Finals, without a date [1]. Expression Games confirmed it is adding QSSR to Hell Let Loose: Vietnam through an upcoming update [1]. VideoCardz noted that neither Embark nor Expression Games gave a specific release date [6].

Until a patch actually appears, treat these as announcements, not features you can use. The table below separates what is live from what is promised, with the timing each studio has given.

How do I turn on QSSR on my PS5?

Update the game, then look for QSSR in that game's own graphics or display settings; there is no system-wide QSSR switch on the PS5 [3][7]. Sony describes QSSR as an additional graphics option offered by each patched game [3].

  1. Install the latest game update. For Marvel's Spider-Man 2 that is v1.006.000 or later [2].
  2. Open the game and go to its graphics or display menu, where the modes such as Fidelity and Performance are listed [1].
  3. Choose the QSSR option or the mode that uses it, if the game offers a separate setting [3].
  4. Keep the PS5 system software up to date as normal, but do not expect it to add QSSR by itself. The system update released on 1 October 2026 listed security and stability fixes and did not mention QSSR [7].

If a game on the list still shows no option, check whether its QSSR update has actually been released. Only three games had it on 15 November 2026 [5]. A PS5 Pro has PSSR, which Sony calls the gold standard on that console [3][5].

QSSR has no system-wide switch: after updating, players pick it in each game's own graphics or display settings.

How is QSSR different from PSSR on PS5 Pro?

QSSR is a faster, streamlined evolution of PSSR designed to run on the base PS5, and Sony says PSSR on PS5 Pro remains the gold standard [3]. QSSR comes from Project Amethyst, Sony's AI graphics collaboration with AMD [1][3].

Sony says QSSR rests on two changes: a streamlined neural network and a hand-tuned implementation that gets the most out of PS5 [3]. Until then, the company said, PSSR's computing demands made it impossible to bring that kind of upscaling to the base console [3]. The Verge, citing Digital Foundry's early hands-on, said players should expect results closer to an upscaled 1440p on PS5 rather than the upscaled 4K typical on PS5 Pro, because the base console has no dedicated machine-learning hardware [4].

Sony's Daniel Craig told Digital Foundry that on PS5 developers have to tune render resolution as well as intermediate and final output targets for each graphics mode [4]. In other words, results will vary from game to game, and a QSSR mode on PS5 is not the same as a PSSR mode on PS5 Pro.

The gap in support is also large. PC Guide counts more than 110 games with PSSR on PS5 Pro, against eight announced for QSSR on PS5 as of 13 November 2026 [5].

Why can games with PSSR add QSSR quickly?

QSSR shares its programming interface with PSSR, so games that already support PSSR on PS5 Pro are the easiest candidates [1][4]. Sony's 13 November post calls it a natural fit for those games [1].

Daniel Craig told Digital Foundry that QSSR is fundamentally a drop-in replacement for titles that already support PSSR, needing only a few days of tuning [4]. Sony has also said QSSR will be offered broadly to all PlayStation developers rather than kept to its own studios [3]. The November list supports that: five of the six newly named games come from studios outside Sony: Remedy, Embark Studios, Hello Games and Expression Games [1].

Still, each game needs its own update. A PSSR patch on PS5 Pro does not switch on QSSR on PS5 automatically, and a studio has to test the new mode before release [6]. That is why the dates differ so much, from a patch that was live on announcement day to games with no date at all [1].

For players, the practical rule is simple: if a game you own already supports PSSR on PS5 Pro, it is more likely than average to get QSSR, but only the developer's patch notes confirm it.

QSSR shares its programming interface with PSSR, so games already reconstructing images on PS5 Pro are the quickest to add it.

Is GTA 6 on the QSSR list?

No. As of 15 November 2026, GTA 6 is not among the eight games on Sony's announced QSSR list [1][5]. Neither the PlayStation Blog post nor PC Guide's list mentions it.

Sony's November announcement lists Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Control Resonant, The Finals, ARC Raiders, No Man's Sky and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam as the new additions, alongside the two launch games [1][3]. No source checked for this page shows Rockstar announcing QSSR support for GTA 6, so any claim that it will use QSSR on the base PS5 is speculation until Rockstar or Sony says otherwise [1][5].

For what is confirmed about the launch, the Pouyam guides GTA 6 Release Date: 19 November 2026 and Everything Confirmed and GTA 6 Release Time: When It Unlocks in Your Time Zone cover dates and unlock times, and How Much Storage Do Games Need in 2026? PS5, Xbox, Switch 2 and PC explains space planning.

If Rockstar adds QSSR later, it would arrive as a game update and appear in the game's own settings, like every other QSSR title [3].

What should PS5 owners expect next?

Sony says more QSSR games will arrive in the coming months, and the next confirmed milestones are No Man's Sky in the coming weeks and Control Resonant in December [1]. The company says developers are just getting started [1].

Sony's own wording on 13 November was that updates would roll out over the coming weeks, six years after the PS5 launched [1]. PC Guide described the list as growing but still far behind PSSR [5]. Expect announcements to come mainly through studio patch notes and the PlayStation Blog, as with Insomniac's release notes for Spider-Man 2 [2].

Two cautions apply. First, a QSSR mode improves image quality but does not change a game's content or add a new version to your library; it is a setting inside the game you already own [7]. Second, image quality will differ from game to game, as Sony's Daniel Craig described for the tuning each graphics mode needs [4], so independent tests are worth waiting for before drawing firm conclusions about any one game.

This list is dated 15 November 2026 and will change as patches ship.

Common mistakes

  • Looking for a QSSR switch in the PS5 system settings.

    Fix: QSSR is offered inside each patched game's graphics menu [3][7].

  • Assuming every game with PS5 Pro enhancements now has QSSR.

    Fix: Only three games had it on 15 November 2026; each needs its own update [5][6].

  • Expecting PS5 Pro picture quality on a base PS5.

    Fix: Sony says PSSR on PS5 Pro remains the gold standard; QSSR is a faster evolution of PSSR [3].

  • Treating announced games as available.

    Fix: Control Resonant is due in December and three games have no date yet [1][6].
