“All games look and play great on Xbox One X. But select Xbox One X Enhanced titles are optimized to take full advantage of the world’s most powerful console.” That’s how Microsoft frames the growing software lineup for the Xbox One X Enhanced collection.
Much like old games were updated to take advantage of the PlayStation 4 Pro, older games in the Xbox One library are being updated to support all the new horsepower the Xbox One X brings to the table. What does that mean? Well, they’ll be playable in 4K with HDR, of course, but they’ll feature more stuff as well.
The Xbox One X is much, much more powerful than the Xbox One. That simple fact will make these games run with less stutter and reduced load times, the former of which standing as a genuine problem for games on the Xbox One. “Maximize game performance,” Microsoft offers, “with the speed of 12GB GDDR5 graphics memory, and see every frame with 326 GB/sec memory bandwidth.”
Which titles are Xbox One X Enhanced? A lot, it turns out. Dishonored 2, For Honor, Firewatch, Rocket League, Zoo Tycoon (don’t hate) and The Long Dark all make the list. Here’s the thing, though… the list will grow, so Microsoft created a dedicated landing page for all the Xbox One X Enhanced titles that they’ll update as new games are added. You can check out the current list below.
