AMD Brings FSR Upscaling 4.1.2 to Xbox Consoles
Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles are finally getting machine learning-based upscaling technology with the latest FSR Upscaling 4.1.2.
Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — TechPowerUp
It ranks mainly on source trust: TechPowerUp is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.

Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
FSR Upscaling 4.1.2 is now available for Xbox Series X and Series S through Microsoft's Game Development Kit. The technology uses machine learning to enhance graphics performance. Developers can choose between two INT8-based models: a full-scale version or a more efficient Lite variant, allowing them to optimize upscaling based on individual game requirements.
AMD has also brought FSR Upscaling support to Xbox handheld devices powered by Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme and Ryzen Z2 A processors. This includes the ROG Ally, ROG Ally X, and ROG Ally X20 models. The handheld implementation uses an efficient INT8 model integrated through the standard AMD FSR SDK.
The expansion reflects AMD's effort to make its upscaling technology available across multiple gaming platforms. Both console and handheld implementations give developers flexibility in how they deploy the technology to match their games' specific performance needs.
What happened
Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles are finally getting 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. One is the full-scale upscaling model based on the INT8 data type, and the other is a new and efficient Lite INT8 model. Both models are compatible with both consoles, but the key point is that game developers have the flexibility to choose which model to implement. Depending on the demands of a game, the appropriate model can be applied to achieve optimal upscaling performance.
