Microsoft’s DLSS competitor is now available on the Xbox Ally X handheld

Microsoft is previewing Auto SR on the Xbox Ally X, bringing Windows-based upscaling to the handheld for better image quality and frame rates in docked play.

The feature is starting in docked mode, where it can help games look sharper on TVs even if they do not support DLSS, FSR, or XeSS.

The update also adds Game Bar controls, docked-play improvements, VRR support on compatible docks, and broader library management across PC storefronts.

For Microsoft, it is an early step toward built-in upscaling on a handheld gaming device, potentially boosting performance without requiring game-specific support.
