Good on them for getting their independence back.
I wonder who will be next to leave Embracer.

This is more an API to standardize all the various vendor plugin solutions for Spatial AntiAliasing, Spatial Resolution, and Frame Generation. This doesn’t seem like Microsoft has created their own AI/ML model to take the place of DLSS/FSR/XeSS.
From their blog, to get an idea about it: DirectX Innovation on Display at GDC 2024 - DirectX Developer Blog
Introducing DirectSR
We’re thrilled to announce DirectSR, our new API designed in partnership with GPU hardware vendors to enable seamless integration of Super Resolution (SR) into the next generation of games. Super Resolution is a cutting-edge technique that increases the resolution and visual quality in games. DirectSR is the missing link developers have been waiting for when approaching SR integration, providing a smoother, more efficient experience that scales across hardware. This API enables multi-vendor SR through a common set of inputs and outputs, allowing a single code path to activate a variety of solutions including NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution, AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution, and Intel XeSS. DirectSR will be available soon in the Agility SDK as a public preview, which will enable developers to test it out and provide feedback. Don’t miss our DirectX State of the Union at GDC to catch a sneak peek at how DirectSR can be used with your games!

Jason did say stay tuned in that regard, so I guess it’s buyout season for Embracer.

That’s one way to save them and still work with them alas Asobo style.

The only thing I can think of out of all this is how the CMA screwed up the whole deal and now they have to make these moves to keep certain things under control

Wow. That’s not healthy in many ways…

Next to exclusive talk, the selfish desire is showing again.
The sad thing is, technically today and that Remedy’s news, it’s more uplifting as developers don’t have to shut down or lose more people but instead escape from it. And yet, SOMEHOW, Xbox who decided to get the news later still gets you flabbergasted. One step closer using that Brian Griffin video of trying to please everyone but also ridicule for one tiny thing…

Nahhhhh, absolutely not right now. I am in a super good mood.
Playing Ghostbusters The Videogame, such a fun game and so clearly made by people that care for the IP. And the 60fps is lovely. Visually surprisingly nice too.

Take Two Interactive should acquire Gearbox since they own the Borderlands IP.
