Sucker Punch Productions released Ghost of Yōtei version 2.005.000 on October 1, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro. The update’s primary feature is the introduction of Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), a new AI-powered upscaling tier designed to enhance visual quality on the standard PlayStation 5 hardware.
Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR)
QSSR was developed through “Project Amethyst,” a collaborative initiative between Sony and AMD. While the PlayStation 5 Pro continues to use PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) as its primary upscaling technology, QSSR is optimized specifically for the base PlayStation 5. This technology allows the standard console to utilize AI-driven image reconstruction to improve clarity and performance.
According to the PlayStation.Blog, this advancement represents a significant step in bringing AI-powered graphical features to the entire PS5 family of consoles.
Stability and Bug Fixes
The 2.005.000 update addresses several reliability issues and system errors reported by players following the release of the 2.000 expansion. Key changes include:
- Fixes for various game crashing scenarios reported during active gameplay.
- Resolution of specific system error codes encountered since the previous major update.
- General improvements to system reliability on both PS5 and PS5 Pro hardware.
Context of the 2.0 Series Updates
This patch serves as a stability follow-up to the significant Update 2.000, known as “Echoes of Sekigahara.” That expansion added the Nagato region and the Battle of Sekigahara to the game. Players running the 2.0 series of updates also have access to previously added quality-of-life features, including armor transmogrification and high-contrast accessibility options.
While the 2.005 patch focuses on technical refinement and the new upscaling tier, it maintains the core content and features established in the recent expansion.
