Overview
- Sony pushed system software update 26.06-14.10.00 on October 1 and the download is reported at about 1.2 GB, with official notes citing security fixes and improved system performance and stability.
- Quick Spectral Super Resolution, or QSSR, is now active in game updates for Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost of Yotei, bringing an AI-driven upscaler to base PS5 consoles.
- Sony says QSSR comes from Project Amethyst, its collaboration with AMD, and uses a streamlined neural network plus a hand-tuned implementation to boost image detail and stability while conserving PS5 performance.
- The official firmware notes do not mention QSSR, and outlets observing the rollout say the small, opaque patch may also be intended to block a recent PS5 jailbreak.
- For players this means some base PS5 owners will see Pro-like upscaling in select titles now, but wider developer access and a broader system-level rollout of QSSR have not been announced.
