AMD FSR 4.1 Is Finally Coming to Xbox Series X, Rivaling PS5's QSSR

AMD FSR 4.1 has been a massive improvement for Team Red's AI upscaling tech, but it was previously only available on Radeon 7000 and 9000 graphics cards. But today, AMD has announced that the technology will now be coming to more devices like the Xbox Series X.

Just like DLSS, FSR 4.1 uses AI to take a lower resolution input image and upscale it back up to native resolution, but because it's more computationally expensive than FSR 3, support for lower-powered hardware has been slow. However, thanks to the ongoing partnership with Sony (dubbed Project Amethyst), AMD has been making huge strides to make it run better on weaker devices.

AMD announced the widened support in a video, and will bring the upscaling tech to RDNA 2 graphics cards like the 6800 XT, along with Z2-powered handhelds like the Xbox Ally X20. What stopped AMD from bringing this model to these older and less-powerful chips was that it was harder to run, which eliminated some of the benefit of even using upscaling. But, according to AMD SVP of Gaming and Graphics Jack Huynh, AMD was able to trim down the model to make it efficient on less powerful hardware that might not have the same suite of AI accelerators that RDNA 4 graphics cards do.

This comes just a couple weeks after AMD and Sony did the same exact thing with PSSR 2 , trimming it down to a new model, dubbed QSSR , for the base PS5.
