What does X1XE=false mean? My guess is 1X Enhanced. So maybe this is a false positive. Would be really awesome if did get an X update though.

It appears that flag makes it show up in the game list when you select it to show enhanced games. Only one with that flag right now appears to be gears 4 even though it doesnt have the patch yet I believe.
Great find!That would be grand! I have not really played DS3 on my Xbox One since the unintended Japanese digital early launch. I have all the DLC purchased for Xbox One but have never played it due to PC being my main platform.

Not this again. Anything recently updated or installed seems to be showing "Xbox-Scorpio;" or "X;" (they seem to be the same thing, as the X will change to Xbox-Scorpio if you uninstall/reinstall, at least in some cases) under Assets Installed.
I'm in alpha preview, so I've had the new dash for a while, and literally everything updated or installed since October 5th shows that, including 360 BC games and retro-style indies. And I highly doubt that Catherine and Momodora are getting 4k asset packs.
As of right now, the Assets Installed line seems to be indicative of precisely nothing.
The X1XE flag is the thing you probably want to be keeping an eye on, as that's only showing on a few things so far, all of which are confirmed to be getting patched.

I'm sure insomniac does, it's MS that doesn't
Yes, thats what I meant.

X1XE=false is showing up on all my game's including the long dark and snooker nation
All the ones in the enhanced list in my games has that set to true (obviously) so this is just a flag that when set to true, that game is due to get enhanced content. The flag could never be set to true and remain false for some games

Well the PS4 Pro patch seems rather solid, so I can only guess it gets better from there!

Do it. I own the Witcher on PC and play on my 4KTV and still just rebought the PS4 version just to support the patch.
Tested it out, looks great. One of the games that most benifits from a resolution boost. XBO Patch should be great.

Wasn't it Insomniac that denied a patch was in the works anyway?
I've had the game since launch but never got around to finishing it, got sidetracked so much. I'm restarting the story on One X. The expansion pass is only 12,50 now, so i'm definitely grabbing that as well before the sale is over. Fantastic deal. Especially Blood and Wine should look amazing.

I'm tempted too, but it's such a big game. I might think about it for next year. Played it back on my PS4 when it came out. But wouldn't mind doing it again, such a wonderful world to sink into!
Yeah, I finished one and two over the last couple of years and loved them both - although I'm in the minority with the first. Also read the books. I've had a couple of false starts with three, and I think it's a combination of the intimidating size and constant fiddling with graphics settings and Steam Controller configs. Hopefully I'll commit to it on X.

That sounds like a good plan, I miss just soaking up the countryside atmosphere in Witcher 3, so incredibly well made!

Indeed. The "X" or "Scorpio" in the installed content only tells you that the game runs on those type of consoles with the installed content. It is not an indicator if it gets a patch or it has extra assets installed for the X1X. The X1XE flag is indeed the indicator for Xbox One X enhanced games in the Games & Apps list but title meta data on installed games needs to be somehow updated to show all games that receive a patch. I assume this will happen as soon aas the Xbox One X is released and you plug-in your hdd into the new console. For those of us that did not upgraded from the OG to the S or never made a factory reset before you can start an installed game on your new console the system will perform a lookup online where such a meta data update could happen.

True X1XE: False
Shouldn't this be the tag we are looking for? If my inferring skills are right, this basically means if the game has a true Xbonex Experience, which means a patch to support it.
Edit : Should have read the follow up before posting XD

Wasn't there a write up on how Microsoft is working on letting you download certain elements in the game such as campaign/multiplayer. Would that not count for downloading high textures compared to low textures, also?

I would hazard a guess that 4K assets are not optional for the X. Just optional for the Original and the S
I dont realy understand the meaning of the tags in the system. Does anybody actualy know if this even means anything. A lot of games are showin up saying Scorpio in the Menu.
Just to name a fiew... Doom, Ori Definitive Edition, Mortal Kombat, Sunset Overdrive and so on. Does this mean anything? Or is the only thing that matters the Enhanced Tag?

With just looking at the text, I imagine any game that gets recently downloaded will receive both the "Durango" and "Scorpio" tags, since in fact, every Xbox game will run on X regardless of a patch or not.
The key seems to be the X1XE tag - if it says true it will get a patch, if it says false it doesn't have a patch (yet).
Just my guess.
I'm guessing the option will be there but instead of defaulting to unchecked, it will be checked.. only makes sense IMO...
Am I remembering correctly that the Dark Souls 3 Pro patch doesn't correct the frame-pacing? If so, I wouldn't anticipate a correction in a One X patch, either.
I thought it alleviated the issue? Higher framerate and all

It really doesn't make sense
That means the developer would have to plan for and code for running in 4K scorpio mode but with different sets of textures.
Which would add additional testing...etc etc
What makes the most sense...
XBox (non-X) runs without 4K assets but allows the user to download the assets in case he/she decides to upgrade or uses the drive for multiple machines
XBox X runs with 4k assets. The question would be is the non-4K asset pack optional???
I thought of it like this... Scorpio marked games are ready to launch natively on One X. Maybe with higher resolution, maybe with higher performance. Maybe its just to make them compatible though.
Games with Enhancement Packs also have better quality Texture packs.
Those are my thoughts.

Super Lucky's Tale updated for me today. I went to check and it is now in my Xbox One X Enhanced list. The assets installed has Durango-Only, though, so who knows.
On a side note, my Gears of War 4 game is not showing up on my living room (the one with Lucky's Tale now showing) but is showing up on my bedroom Xbox One S. Gears shows X1XE: False.
I have no idea.

You still have to download the assets. If you didnt have the 4K assets, then you arent super sampling. Youd just be using regular assets.
Super-sampling is built-in, but you still have to download the assets. My phone plays mp3s. Its a built-in feature, but I still gotta stream or download the music.

Actually, space_nut is correct here. Due to the nature of rendering graphics you don't need to use higher quality assets (ie 4K assets) in order to downsample.
Of course downsampling with higher quality assets will still result in a better image versus downsampling with the default assets. Don't let the term "4K assets" confuse you.
This is the key takeaway here. "4k assets" is a meaningless marketing term. They are just referring to higher resolution assets, e.g. textures. These assets will look better on any display, it's just that with higher resolutions, low res assets become more obvious which is one of the reasons we are now getting the better assets.
Having said that, there are some types of assets which are genuinely only worthwhile upgrading on a higher resolution display (for example icons, menu images and some other 2d images, such as hud elements) but in most cases I would expect these to constitute a tiny fraction of the overall package.

I would not say meaningless. It is an easy marketing term for those who doesn't know about all the facets what assets are and that they come in various qualities/resolutions even if targeted for 4K.
Perhaps a poor choice of words. It's the 4k part which is really not correct. They are just high res assets. Especially regarding textures, which probably make up the bulk of these updates. They are not 4k resolution, exclusive to 4k resolution, nor only beneficial to 4k displays.
I think high resolution assets is a perfectly acceptable and more accurate term.

The thing is not all assets are high resolution even if targeted for 4K. The "4K" part is of course not entirely correct but as I mentioned "high resolution assets" too. The best term in my view would have been "High(est) Quality Assets" which points to the quality (not measurable) and not to a definition of pixel resolution which depends on the single asset.
Though from a marketing standpoint I totally understand why the chose "4K assets". They want to push the "4K" "Xbox One X" dependency into the heads of the consumers!
Well, yeah. It's obvious why they chose it. Doesn't make it factually correct.

Marketing is a borderline art. Almost all marketing messages are not 100% correct.
Could not agree more.

Think I remember reading somewhere that the Witcher patch will come in December.
