Microsoft ended the Auto SR preview for supported ROG Xbox Ally handhelds and expanded support to selected AMD-powered Copilot+ PCs. The upscaling feature can now work on a handheld’s internal display while on battery. Support for a 1080p base resolution arrives alongside those changes, while additional modes follow through staged Windows updates.
Microsoft ended the Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR) preview on supported ROG Xbox Ally handhelds on November 10. The system uses AI to upscale game images. Support now includes the internal display while running on battery, replacing the preview’s docked-use restriction. Microsoft is also expanding the feature to selected AMD Ryzen-powered Copilot+ PCs.[1], [2]
Another change lets games use a 1080p base resolution with Auto SR. Previously players had to lower the game’s resolution before the feature would activate. Microsoft cautions that using 1080p on the internal display may give less optimal performance than other settings. The new behavior removes a setup step that could previously prevent activation when overlooked.[1]
Performance Mode and compatibility with Auto HDR are arriving through staged Windows updates. Auto HDR expands the appearance of games without native high dynamic range support on compatible displays. Setup requires updated Windows and Game Bar software and the Auto Super Resolution package from Microsoft Store. Players select modes through Game Bar’s display and graphics controls; the relevant update determines when options appear.[1]
