Intel Releases XeSS 2 SDK with AI Upscaling Tools for Developers

The new SDK introduces Super Resolution, Frame Generation, and Low Latency features, but its closed-source nature limits broader adoption.

Intel XeSS 2 SDK is now available on GitHub, offering developers tools to integrate AI-powered upscaling into games.
Key features include Super Resolution for enhanced image quality, Frame Generation for smoother gameplay, and Low Latency for responsive performance.
The technology supports Intel hardware and some GPUs from other vendors, though with reduced optimization for non-Intel devices.
Plugins for Unreal Engine and Unity aim to streamline integration, alongside updated debugging tools for Vulkan and DirectX 11 titles.
Despite its advancements, XeSS 2 remains proprietary, restricting modification and limiting cross-platform compatibility compared to open-source alternatives like AMD's FSR.
