Is it possible or are there any plans to implement support for Av1 codecs?

It seems that Xbox Series X|S do not support Hardware acceleration. I might implement software AV1 decoding, but I don't know if it's worth

Ah too bad, I don't know if it's worth it either. The reason I asked was because of the results that are achieved with AV1 vs HEVC. I read claims that AV1 could achieve similar quality with a much smaller size, which in turn would be beneficial to push more frames from the host to the client. But it's only beneficial if the client can decode them in time of course (I was hoping for AV1 to achieve 4K120). Thanks for responding @TheElixZammuto
