Microsoft Auto SR Rolls Out for Xbox Ally X Handheld Gaming
Microsoft has officially rolled out its Auto Super Resolution upscaling technology for the Xbox Ally X and other devices, adding handheld and 1080p support.
Microsoft is rolling out Automatic Super Resolution, an upscaling technology that competes with Nvidia’s DLSS, for the Xbox Ally X, Xbox Ally X20, and select Windows Copilot Plus PCs, the company announced today.
With the official launch of Auto SR, your Xbox Ally X can use Microsoft’s upscaling technology undocked and with games running at 1080p. In April, Microsoft started testing Auto SR on the Xbox Ally X, but you could only use it while docked.
The full release of Auto SR announced today now works while you’re playing handheld and running on battery, and it also supports games running at 1080p. Microsoft does note that playing in handheld and at 1080p might lead to performance that may not be as optimal as other configurations, but says you’ll see visual improvements especially in older games.
New Performance Modes and Features
Previously, Auto SR was also limited to framerates of around 60 to 75fps, but support for a new Auto SR Performance mode will allow you to hit framerates of up to 120fps. The Performance mode, and new compatibility with Auto HDR, will be available through Windows updates. Auto SR is also getting some new features alongside this official release.
