At CES 2026, the company assured that it strives to work as openly as possible, but many are convinced that in this way AMD only acknowledged the inevitable.
During a Q&A session at CES 2026, Andrei Zdravkovic, President of GPU Technologies and Chief Software Officer at AMD, suggested that FSR 4 might receive an official open-source version.
When asked directly about plans to open the FSR 4 source code, he noted that the company strives to work "as openly as possible," and then added that this is a "long-term plan." At the same time, Zdravkovic clarified that AMD intends to disclose only part of the library, keeping key technologies closed so as not to give advantages to competitors.
The statements came several months after the FSR 4 source code accidentally became publicly available. In August 2025, the code was included in the FidelityFX SDK update on GitHub under the MIT license.
AMD later admitted the publication was a mistake and deleted the repository, but it was already too late: the MIT license allowed everyone who managed to download the files to legally use, modify, and distribute them. For this reason, many believe that it is no longer possible to "put the genie back in the bottle" — and link AMD's current rhetoric to an attempt to formally formalize and "legitimize" what actually happened back in 2025.
