Microsoft is rolling out its new Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR) upscaling tech, a competitor to Nvidia's DLSS, for the Xbox Ally X, Xbox Ally X20, and some Windows Copilot Plus PCs. The big news? It now fully supports handheld play, even on battery.
Hey tech and gaming enthusiasts! We’ve got some exciting news from Microsoft today that's set to make your handheld gaming experience much, much better. The company is now rolling out its new Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR) technology, a direct competitor to Nvidia's popular DLSS. What does this mean for you? It means your portable gaming devices like the Xbox Ally X and Xbox Ally X20, along with select Windows Copilot Plus PCs, are getting a big boost in graphics and performance.
The biggest takeaway here is that Auto SR now fully supports handheld play, even when you're running on battery power. You might recall that Microsoft started testing Auto SR back in April on the Xbox Ally X, but at that time, it only worked while the device was docked. Well, that’s all changed! You can now enjoy the benefits of Auto SR while gaming on the go, without needing to be tethered.
But wait, there's more! This full release of Auto SR, announced today, also supports games running at 1080p. In simple terms, this technology helps games look sharper and run smoother by 'upscaling' the image to a higher resolution without demanding extra power from your device. Imagine your device rendering a smaller image and then intelligently enlarging it to look as if it was rendered at a higher resolution from the start. This translates to clearer visuals and potentially higher frame rates, making for a more enjoyable gaming session.
Of course, Microsoft did share a small note: playing in handheld mode and at 1080p might slightly impact performance. This is typical with any new technology and might require some tweaking to find the sweet spot. But overall, this is a significant step forward for gamers who love the flexibility of portable devices. Keep an eye out for these updates on your devices and get ready for a new, enhanced gaming experience wherever you are!
