AMD FidelityFX now available for Xbox

AMD FidelityFX is our open-source collection of visual technologies that make it easier for developers to implement high-quality effects and optimizations that help make games look amazing. Since the first effect came out in 2019, our GPUOpen philosophy of creating easily accessible, open, free, highly optimized, and cross-platform solutions have been embraced by game developers and FidelityFX is now available in over 40 PC game titles.

Select AMD FidelityFX effects are now available for the Xbox Series X|S, powered by the same AMD RDNA™ 2 found in AMD Radeon™ RX 6000 Series graphics cards.

For developers, this means that it will be even easier than before to create cross-platform games with AMD FidelityFX now available in the latest Xbox Series X|S Game Development Kit (GDK), and to start, we are making FidelityFX Contrast Adaptive Sharpening (CAS), Variable Shading, and our ray-traced shadow Denoiser available.

For gamers, AMD FidelityFX coming to Xbox Series X|S means that future Xbox games will be able to benefit from all the platform-specific optimizations and incredible visuals that FidelityFX already helps deliver on PC games.
