Microsoft announced on November 10, 2026 the official launch of Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR) for the ROG Xbox Ally X and Ally X20, as well as select Copilot+ PCs with AMD Ryzen.
Previously available only in preview for docked mode, Auto SR now works in handheld mode (internal screen, even on battery). It also supports games running natively at 1080p and introduces a new Performance mode that allows up to 120 FPS.
Key new features
- Handheld mode: works on the device's screen without needing a dock or power outlet.
- 1080p support: no longer necessary to lower the base resolution to enable upscaling.
- Performance Mode: raises the limit from around 60-75 FPS to up to 120 FPS. In a Rocket League demo at 720p, Microsoft recorded an average of 70 FPS in Quality mode and 115 FPS in Performance mode.
- Auto HDR compatibility: the two features can work together.
Microsoft notes that performance at 1080p in handheld mode may not be optimal, but still provides visual improvements, especially in older games. Auto SR uses the device's NPU for upscaling, freeing up the GPU.
The feature is already available for handheld, 1080p and AMD Ryzen PCs; Performance mode and Auto HDR arrive via Windows updates.
