  "account": "PlayStation has introduced a new feature called Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR) to the base PS5, aiming to narrow the performance gap between the base and Pro models. QSSR is a form of AI upscaling that enhances image detail and stability. Currently, two games, Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost of Yotei, are offering QSSR as a new graphics option for the base model. PlayStation still considers the Pro model's Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) as the gold standard for image quality. According to PlayStation’s Principal Engineer for Graphics R&D, Daniel Craig, QSSR can be used as a drop-in replacement for games that already support PSSR.

While the base PS5 doesn’t have as much graphical power as the Pro model, QSSR is a significant step in bridging the gap for those who play games that benefit from the technology.",
