Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 now supports Sony’s AI-guided upscaler, Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), on the standard PS5. PlayStation and Insomniac announced the update as live on November 13, 2026, covering both Fidelity and Performance modes. Three years after its 2023 release, the game is still learning new graphics tricks. SourceSourceSource
Insomniac says the update improves image sharpness and stability in both modes. Its head of technology, Mike Fitzgerald, says the team decided to bring QSSR to Spider-Man 2 after seeing good results integrating it into Marvel’s Wolverine. A welcome hand-me-down between superhero projects. SourceSource
Which games are getting QSSR next?
Five other PS5 games have QSSR updates planned:
- Control Resonant: Remedy’s senior graphics programmer Erik Jansson says its update is coming in December 2026, without specifying a day. Source
- No Man’s Sky: Hello Games founder Sean Murray says to expect support in “the next few weeks,” relative to the November 13 announcement. An entire procedural universe is waiting its turn. Source
- ARC Raiders and The Finals: Embark Studios says QSSR is “coming soon” to both games. Neither has an exact date in the announcement. Source
- Hell Let Loose: Vietnam: Expression Games confirms support through an upcoming update, also without a date. Source
QSSR, PSSR—what’s the difference here?
Sony says it introduced QSSR in October 2026 and that it can deliver sharper details, cleaner edges and more stable images than traditional upscalers. The announcement doesn’t quantify resolution or frame-rate changes. Source
According to Sony, QSSR shares its foundation and developer interface with PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, or PSSR, on PS5 Pro. Yes, one letter is doing quite a lot of work here. Standard PS5 owners get QSSR in supported games; sharing a foundation doesn’t establish identical results across the two consoles. Source
Sony says QSSR grew out of Project Amethyst, its ongoing collaboration with AMD, and plans to bring it to more PS5 games in the coming months. Source
