AMD and Microsoft have confirmed that FSR Upscaling 4.1 is coming to the Xbox Series X and Series S. The announcement was made during an AMD video presentation led by Jack Huynh, alongside Xbox CTO Scott Van Vliet and ASUS. The ROG Xbox Ally handhelds will receive the update first, with consoles listed as "coming soon." No release dates or supported game lists have been disclosed yet. Both Xbox consoles utilize RDNA 2 graphics, matching the architecture of AMD's Radeon RX 6000 series, which also received FSR 4.1 support earlier than the initially planned early 2027 timeline.
Scott Van Vliet emphasized the collaboration between Microsoft and AMD to optimize the technology for better performance and visual quality across Xbox platforms. He noted that this is just the beginning, with further developments expected through Project Helix, which will leverage FSR Diamond for ML-based upscaling and multi-frame generation. While the handheld update is clearer, reports suggest the base ROG Xbox Ally may require a specific ASUS driver update. The Series S is likely to benefit significantly from these advancements, though developer adoption remains a key factor.
