Microsoft's Auto SR is out for Xbox Ally X handheld mode

Microsoft is now rolling out Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR), an upscaling technology designed to compete with Nvidia’s DLSS, for the Xbox Ally X, Xbox Ally X20, and select Windows Copilot Plus PCs, as announced by the company.

Back in April, Microsoft initiated testing for Auto SR on the Xbox Ally X, but usage was strictly limited to when the device was docked and plugged into power.

With this full release announced today, the upscaling feature now functions while you are playing in handheld mode and running on battery power, alongside added support for games running at a resolution of 1080p.

Microsoft notes that playing in handheld mode at 1080p might result in performance that “may not be as optimal as other configurations,” but affirms that users will still notice visual improvements, “especially in older games.”
