Grand Theft Auto VI developers literally forced Sony to develop QSSR technology
GameGPU • • technology
Key Points:
- Rockstar Games compelled Sony developers to revive and implement an AI-powered resolution scaling technology called QSSR for the standard PlayStation 5 to ensure Grand Theft Auto VI delivers high-quality visuals and stable frame rates.
- The QSSR upscaler functions similarly to the PSSR system used on the PlayStation 5 Pro, addressing the heavy rendering and graphics demands of GTA VI by reconstructing image details through neural networks.
- This technology was rapidly developed due to Rockstar's insistence, as Sony would unlikely have invested in such a complex upgrade for the base PS5 model without the project's technical challenges.
- Implementing QSSR on the original PS5 is crucial to maintain the PlayStation brand's promise of delivering the best gaming experience across its console lineup.
