Microsoft is now launching Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR), an upscaling technology that competes with Nvidia’s DLSS, for Xbox Ally X, Xbox Ally X20, and select PCs with Windows Copilot Plus, the company announced today. Auto SR will also receive some new features along with this official release.
In April, Microsoft began testing Auto SR on Xbox Ally X, but you could only use it while docked. The full release of Auto SR announced today now works while gaming handheld and is battery-powered, and also supports games running at 1080p. Microsoft notes that playing on a handheld and at 1080p may result in performance that “may not be as optimal as other configurations,” but says you’ll see visual improvements “especially in older games.”
Previously, Auto SR was also limited to frame rates of “around” 60 to 75 fps, but support for a new Auto SR Performance mode will allow you to reach frame rates of up to 120 fps. Performance mode and new Auto HDR support will be available through Windows updates.
