Microsoft’s DLSS competitor is available for the Xbox Ally X and works in portable mode

Microsoft is rolling out Auto Super Resolution (Auto SR), an upscaling technology that competes with Nvidia’s DLSS, for Xbox Ally X, Xbox Ally X20, and select Windows Copilot Plus PCs, the company announced today. Auto SR also benefits from new features alongside this official release.

In April, Microsoft began testing Auto SR on the Xbox Ally X, but you could only use it when docked. The full version of Auto SR announced today now works when gaming on handheld and battery power, and also supports games running at 1080p. Microsoft notes that playing on handheld and at 1080p can lead to 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” 60-75 fps, but support for a new Auto SR Performance mode will let you hit frame rates up to 120 fps. Performance mode and new compatibility with Auto HDR will be available via Windows updates.
