Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles are finally receiving machine learning-based upscaling technology with the latest FSR Upscaling 4.1.2. Microsoft's Game Development Kit (GDK) now officially includes FSR Upscaling 4.1.2 in two models: a full-scale upscaling model based on the INT8 data type and a new efficient Lite INT8 model. Both models are compatible with both consoles, giving game developers flexibility to choose the appropriate model based on game demands for optimal performance.
For Xbox handheld devices, the AMD FSR SDK 2.4 adds FSR Upscaling support for the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme and Ryzen Z2 A processors powering the ROG Xbox Ally, ROG Xbox Ally X, and ROG Xbox Ally X20 handhelds. These devices run Windows, allowing developers to integrate FSR Upscaling 4.1.2 through the standard AMD FSR SDK. The update arrives as FSR 4.1.x only recently arrived for AMD's RDNA versions below RDNA 4.
RDNA 4 supports native processing for 8-bit floating point data, while RDNA 3 requires conversion to 8-bit integer data, as Xbox consoles use INT8 data types without FP8 support.
