ARM fully launches its Super Accuracy Resolution upscaler at GDC 2025
ARM Super Accuracy Resolution is ready for prime time!
At GDC 2025, ARM has officially launched its ASR (Accuracy Super Resolution) upscaler to developers. This new open-source temporal upscaling solution is designed for mobile devices, aiming to deliver improved mobile game performance.
When tested with ARM’s Immortalis-G720 GPUs, ASR delivered up to a 53% increase in framerate. Better still, this higher framerate was achieved while reducing GPU power draw. Higher framerates with lower power consumption. That’s a win-win for ARM Super Accuracy Resolution.
ARM’s new upscaler is a derivative of AMD’s FSR 2.2.2 upscaler. It has been optimised to run on resource-constrained mobile gaming environments. This allows it to run faster than AMD’s FSR 2 Super Resolution upscaler. Below we can see that ASR has a better performance profile than AMD’s FSR 2 technology. The results below come from a device Immortalis G720 GPU with a 2800×1260 screen.
Addressing misinformation
There has been a lot of false reporting about ARM’s ASR technology. Many claim that it was revealed at GDC 2025. This is not true. The technology was unveiled in July 2024. This is when we first reported on the upscaler.
Another thing to note is that many are reporting that ASR plugins for Unreal Engine and Unity are not yet available. While the Unity Plugin will not be available until later this year, ARM’s ASR plugin for Unreal Engine (5.3-5.5) is already available on Github.
ARM Accuracy Super Resolution is already being supported by developers
ARM has confirmed that Sumo Digital, Infold Games, and Enduring Games already use ASR as part of their development processes. With this in mind, we should expect to see mobile games with ASR support at some point in the future.
