Good Day yuz-ers! (yeah, that’s sticking!)  We hope everyone had an enjoyable and relaxing summer.  Many of you thought that yuzu’s development slowed down, didn’t you? Well, guess again – The team has been working tirelessly to bring you this exciting new release!

While you may have noticed a bit of a lull during August, make no mistake that our team was still hard at work! Behind the scenes, our GPU team has been investing a ton of time and talent into bringing about this Patreon releases’ biggest feature: Resolution Rescaler!
