DF Direct Q+A: Is PS5 QSSR Really A Game-Changer? Will Xbox Series X|S Get ML Upscaling?

Digital Foundry has released a new Direct Q&A video tackling two major upscaling questions in the current console cycle. The first: whether PS5’s QSSR (Quality Scaling Super Resolution) truly represents a generational leap over prior techniques. The second: whether Xbox Series X|S will receive ML-based upscaling comparable to what Sony is deploying.

DF breaks down the technical differences, real-world performance gains, and what this means for developers targeting both platforms. They weigh in on whether QSSR’s edge is significant enough to call it a “game-changer” or an incremental refinement, and assess the likelihood of Microsoft matching that capability on their hardware.

The video is from Digital Foundry.
