Intel Releases XeSS 2.0 SDK with AI-Powered Graphics Tools for Developers

The XeSS 2.0 SDK introduces super resolution, frame generation, and low latency features but faces adoption challenges due to its closed-source nature.

Intel's XeSS 2.0 SDK is now publicly available on GitHub, providing developers with tools to integrate AI-driven super resolution, frame generation, and low latency technologies into games.
The SDK includes plugins for Unreal Engine and Unity, along with debugging tools like the XeSS Inspector, to streamline the development process.
While XeSS 2.0 supports older DirectX 11 and Vulkan APIs, it remains a Windows-first technology with limited cross-platform compatibility.
Intel's decision to keep XeSS 2.0 closed-source restricts flexibility and broader adoption compared to open-source alternatives like AMD's FSR.
XeSS 2.0 is uniquely optimized for SoC devices, enhancing performance on low-power gaming platforms, but currently sees limited support in gaming titles.
