Microsoft cant 'force' anything no. They could provide potential solutions for devs, but it'd have to be up to them whether to use it. Or they could maybe offer an option for users, but it wouldn't change the source resolution of a game, no.
Like, all the work they did with their XB1X and XSX BC upgrades and whatnot required specific permission from each dev/pub of each game. It's not something Microsoft could just go in and hack into for any game no matter what. Devs/pubs would not accept such an overreach on Microsoft's part.
