The PS5 Pro’s Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) tech, which upscaling enthusiasts pined for, is now on the standard PS5 as Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR). This means PS5 owners can finally enjoy sharper graphics without the hefty price tag. For those considering a Pro upgrade, however, the allure may have just faded.
While QSSR isn't as advanced as Nvidia's DLSS 5, it still provides significant improvements in detail and stability. Insomniac Games' Mike Fitzgerald highlights the enhancements, noting that QSSR brings out extra detail in environments like Madripoor and Shinjuku.
Developers are cautiously optimistic about QSSR’s future. For now, it's limited to two titles, but it’s a step in the right direction for console enhancement. Sony’s innovation shows that even older hardware can get a tech upgrade, which could set a precedent for future console iterations.
The world of gaming is evolving, and with AI making old games look new, the PS5’s lifespan might just be extended. But for those who can't resist the Pro’s $900 price tag, perhaps now is the time to reconsider.
People might not forget Sony’s decision to end physical disc support, but it’s a small price to pay for this ongoing tech advancement. As always, the future of gaming is bright, and the PS5 just got a little brighter.
