AMD is expanding the reach of its FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 4.1 technology, bringing the upscaling software to a wider array of hardware platforms. The company confirmed that the update will be available for Xbox Series X and S consoles, as well as several handheld devices, including the ROG Ally X.

This rollout follows the initial launch of FSR 4.1 for Radeon RX 9000-series graphics cards, which occurred in March. At that time, AMD committed to extending the technology to older GPU architectures and portable gaming systems before the end of the year. In addition to the console and handheld support, the update is being deployed today for Radeon RX 6000-series GPUs and the Ryzen AI Max 300 and 400 series processors, along with the Ryzen AI 9 300 and 400 series chips.

FSR 4.1 is designed to enhance frame rates and visual fidelity by using upscaling techniques to render games at lower resolutions before intelligently sharpening them. AMD claims that this update will provide performance benefits for a library of over 300 supported games. While the announcement marks a significant expansion for the software, the specific timeline for when individual Xbox users will see the update appear on their consoles remains to be fully detailed by Microsoft.
