Sony's PS5 offers a rest mode that suspends games in progress, charges connected DualSense controllers, and can download updates, install games remotely, or sync PlayStation Plus cloud saves. Power draw in rest mode ranges from about 0.3W to roughly 4.65W when charging accessories, compared with 43-217W during active use, depending on settings found in the system's Power Saving menu.
Sony has introduced Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), a lighter version of its AI upscaling technology previously exclusive to the PlayStation 5 Pro, now available on the standard PS5. Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei will be the first titles to support it, and Sony plans to offer the QSSR library to all PlayStation developers.
Free updates released Thursday for Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei add Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), the first AI-based upscaler to run on the standard PlayStation 5. Digital Foundry testing found QSSR produces sharper images with less shimmering and ghosting than older methods like TAA or FSR 3, though it renders from a lower base resolution than the PS5 Pro's PSSR and costs roughly 9 fps versus Insomniac's own upscaler.
Sony Interactive Entertainment released patches today enabling Quick Spectral Super Resolution, a new AI upscaling feature, on the standard PS5 for Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei. Developed with AMD using a streamlined neural network, QSSR will be available to all PlayStation developers, expanding on the PSSR upscaling tech previously exclusive to PS5 Pro. The update coincides with a complete edition release for Ghost of Yōtei, which existing owners can upgrade to for $15.
Sony held two back-to-back State of Play broadcasts featuring release dates for Until Dawn 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, plus new footage from Marvel's Wolverine, Ghost of Yotei's new Most Wanted survival mode, Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, and Metro 2039 running on PS5 Pro. The shows also revealed Maneater 2, a sequel to the shark-action game, along with updates on Crimson Desert DLC and Saros.
