Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 19:32 · Archive

AMD is bringing its FSR 4.1 upscaling technology to Xbox Series S and X consoles and handheld devices.

AMD has announced that FSR 4.1, its upscaling technology, will come to Xbox Series S and X consoles and handheld devices. The technology will also reach older Radeon RX 6000-series graphics cards and certain laptops with Ryzen AI processors. Engadget reports that the handheld devices will include the Ally X, Ally X20, Ally S and the original Ally. Engadget notes that the Series X and Ally X are already powerful, so the main benefit will likely be for owners of the Series S, Ally S and the original Ally, which should experience a performance boost when FSR is activated.

FidelityFX Super Resolution works by rendering games at lower resolution to conserve resources while using machine learning to create a sharper image. FSR 4.1 can improve performance in more than 300 supported games, including Cyberpunk 2077, Battlefield 6 and Assassin's Creed Shadows. The Verge reports that FSR 4.1 already started rolling out to Radeon RX 6000-series graphics cards and certain Ryzen AI devices today via updated drivers.

Xbox CTO Scott Van Vilet said: 'We've worked very closely with AMD to optimize this technology, giving developers another powerful tool for great performance and visual quality for players.' Engadget reports that no exact timeline has been given for the Xbox console rollout, though a video suggests FSR 4.1 will come to the Xbox Ally X before the end of the year, with other consoles listed as 'coming soon'.
