Resolution upscaling: once a taboo subject uttered only in dingy recesses of the gaming community. Today, they're all at it. Nvidia with its Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), AMD with FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), and even Epic with Temporal Super Resolution (TSR). Now, Microsoft has its hand in the fidelity jar.

Best CPU cooler: keep your chip chilled in style Best PC fans: super-silent and plastered in RGB Best PC cases: big, little, and everything in-between.

Microsoft has realised that, for the next generation of games to excel in both graphic fidelity and popularity, people are going to need the ability to light up their 4K TVs with them, without being locked in at low frame rates... *cough* buy a PC *cough*. As such, Xbox Series X and S console users may soon be getting a taste of their very own high resolution upscaling solution, in the form of machine learning-based software (via Hardware Times).

This doesn't mean that PC users wont end up benefiting from the tech somewhere down the line, but as was the case with DirectStorage, it may end up coming to Xbox first.
