TL;DR Summary

Microsoft introduces DirectSR, a new API aimed at simplifying the use of upscaling technologies in PC gaming by providing a common set of inputs and outputs, allowing a single code path to activate a variety of solutions. This API, developed in partnership with GPU hardware vendors, aims to eliminate the need for game developers to individually support technologies like DLSS, FSR, or XeSS, and instead target DirectSR, which will then utilize the most suitable upscaling technology for the hardware. This move could potentially resolve the issues of game-specific upscaling support and streamline the implementation of upscaling in PC games.
