AMD FidelityFX Tools Available for Xbox Series X and Series S
AMD announced that the open-source FidelityFX toolkit is now available for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles. Game developers for these systems can now leverage the image enhancement toolkit in their projects.
The AMD FidelityFX toolkit includes features such as Image Sharpening for sharpening, Variable Shading for grayscale processing with variable shading rates, Denoiser for enhancing the visual quality of ray tracing, and many more.
For Xbox Series X and Series S game developers, AMD has released the Xbox Series X | S Game Development Kit (GDK). It offers more options when integrating FidelityFX technologies already used in PC game development. At the moment, the capabilities of FidelityFX are used in more than 40 different game projects.
The company notes that this is the first step before implementing Super Resolution (FSR) technology. Recall that it is an analog of DLSS from NVIDIA. FSR is also expected to become part of the FidelityFX toolbox. AMD also confirmed that FSR technology would be cross-platform – it can be used on both PC and Xbox of the current generation.
