Yeah, the Xbox BC team does amazing things and as NX says these upgrades are all free. I hope they start up adding more 360 and OG Xbox games again soon.

What they need to do is replace the console version of The Evil Within with the new Game Pass version.

Excellent video, very clear and concise description of all aspects of MS strategy around this.
As always, people need to be realistic about what the tech is, and what its limitations are. Or in this case, how its limitations are imposed on it depending on how the original releases were coded.
What this shows generally is what I've been saying for awhile: Although implementing these sorts of changes are in terms of coding effort minimal, the time cost in creating these enhanced versions is all about the validation stage and whether the original build needs to be touched in order to update it.
It'll be interesting to see how many older Japanese titles will be able to be enhanced in this way, especially ones that didn't launch simultaneously (if ever) on PC. Because this essentially is about coding standards and practices, specifically if at the time of production a higher frame-rate version was ever a consideration.
I'd stress before people get all judgey about the rights-and-wrongs of "best programming practice", you can't fault the coders for not accommodating something outside of the scope of the task they were set. If you're building for deployment on a single fixed system specification, you have set parameters that you can rely on absolutely.

Well done.
I’m somewhat puzzled by the poor fallout performance. I would expect close to 2x framerate increase over One X based on GPU brute force.
So does it run in the 20’s often on One X or XsX simply not doing as well as it should here? How will games pushing One X work out here, will most default to One S profile??

Seems like more of a bug, since you can go around it, with turning on the FPS boost while you have the game running. Doesn't make much sense to have same version on XSS and XSX. But who knows.

Seems deliberate considering the game runs at 40fps for prolonged periods when using One X profile.

Skyrim is same way and yet they allow 4k there.

No it’s not, did you watch the video?

Oh well I guess I need to pay more attention

Engine is not optimised properly. It drops frame rate even on gtx 3060 with Ryzen 5. Just scripting and data streaming issues mostly which causes dips.

Need more boosted games, way more.

Yeah, the janky engine scales like crap.

incredible work by MS. Props to them, looking forward to more boosted games and I’ll definitely give Prey a shot.

This explains why the res drops were happening.
I wonder how he figured it out just kept quick resuming in and out of the games?
Brilliant video.

I would play Far Cry4 on XSX, because I coudn't finish on PS4 years ago, too busy for job and other things, and never played again. Apart from the ultra smooth 60fps, did the game receive other improvements ? It looks like it has more draw distance, or is it just me ?
And what about 4K(native or dynamic whatever it is) later on ?
By the way, I will definitely play Far Cry 4 as I get a XSX.

It's the same it never got a One X patch, but it still looks pretty nice and it plays so much better at 60fps with Auto HDR and 16x AF.
Jason Ronald say they are working on more enhancements so hopefully we will get some sort of resolution unlock later.

It would be really appreciated, Far Cry 4 still looks so nice and play great, and exploration is amazing !
I'll play it as it gets all the upgrades, I'm quiet sure 4K will follow soon, as other improvements. I'll stay tuned on this one.
