Qualcomm will soon launch a new upscaling technology that could potentially boost Android games to 4K 60fps. The company is rolling out the Snapdragon Game Super Resolution which can transform 1080p games to 4K resolutions. It also delivers significant improvement in the frame per second (fps) rate from 30fps to 60fps or more. Mobile games and XR products with the Snapdragon Game Super Resolution will launch later this year.
Even with improvements from the late`st Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 series of SoC, Qualcomm seeks to provide a more exciting experience for Android gamers. The new upscaling technology provides boosts in resolution and performance while also minimizing power usage.
The Snapdragon Game Super Resolution (GSR) will maximize mobile game performance and battery life. It will also be functional in non-Snapgragon 8 Gen 2 smartphones, which is interesting. The upscaling technology is beneficial to the gaming process by allowing a game to run at lower resolutions without sacrificing quality. The approach in the GSR uses a new technique to increase resolution, frame rate, and battery life. The prevalent upscaling tech had been the bilinear interpolation.

The new method uses a single pass spatial upscaling technique optimized for Adreno GPUs, which reduces memory usage, bandwidth latency, and battery usage. Qualcomm has already partnered with some game developers to incorporate GSR into their game titles.
Some of the popular games that will incorporate GSR are Call of Duty, Farming Simulator 23 Mobile, and Jade Dynasty: New Fantasy. There are no indications yet on the smartphones that will be compatible with the GSR based on their chipsets.
