A number of Xbox 360 games are getting “updates” on Xbox Series X|S

not a 360 game but I would kill for a Just Cause 3 (or 2, or both) in FPS Boost.
Oh I hope something comes of this - there have been similar updates in the past but I'm not sure that there has been this many all at once.
That's been broken for ages. I'm not sure if the 4k Xbox One X upgrade broke it, or if it was something else.
Someone else mentioned it happens on PC, I wonder if it's just a resolution or loading speed bug. Generations levels loaded really quickly, even on Xbox One.
It's a Halo Anniversary style remaster: prettier graphics layered on top of classic Fable. Some hideous character models and dated animations can make it look jank but it's still a fine way to experience the world if you're newcomer.

The guess is that a firmware update on Monday might use these updates to activate FPS Boost. Allegedly, the same thing happened with resolution boost.
Thats what I am hoping to hear, but I am trying not to get my hopes up until it happens. Ah what the hell
This happens from time to time. Random titles get updated at random times. It has to do with the emulator.
That's not to say that we definitely won't get cool BC stuff next week... but this doesn't indicate anything.

I would replay all the 360 era Gears games if they get the appropriate resolution/FPS boosts.
I want a 4k/60 fps update for LO so bad, I'd trade all the other games listed just to have that one upgrade.
Ah, the beauty of PC! We have beauty mods out the wazoo and have for years! That reminds me — time to go back!
That era of Sonic games (Unleashed, Generations, Racing Transformed) getting solid updates would be a big incentive for me to upgrade to a Series.
(I mean, like, the first opportunity I get at a Series X I'm gonna take, but I might go for an S or something)
Really hoping for some cool original Xbox titles though. Gunvalkyrie already seems possible which would be nice, but I'd like some other deep cuts too. I'm surprised a lot of the SNK ports from that era were never made BC, considering how easy SNK tends to be with licensing and the like.

But… why? It's a turn based rpg, with a bunch of text walls (the thousand dreams), the text is cleverly animated and whatnot, but do we need it it in 4k/60?
Looking at my Old Oblivion save on Game Pass , it's old enough to be in
high school lol
I'm slightly scared to install Oblivion for this very reason.
More fluidity of motion is never a bad thing in games. It's a turn-based RPG, sure, so there's no need for quick reflexes, but the camera still moves, characters still run around and do all sorts of animations, and seeing all that with two times more fluidity would definitely feel good.
Really hoping MS has worked out a way to simultaneously boost res and fps. Having to choose between 4k/30 and 720/60 isn't much of a choice
new vegas updated on my one x, too. doesn't the one x even run some bc games higher res than a series s?
Am I missing something here or what? People are ecstatic because someone saw a handful of BC games update? Not every BC game update means res or framerate bump. MS updates their BC emulator all the time and these updates could just be emulator update (maybe slight latency improvement, some other compatibility issues, bug fixes and such).
Yep, One X runs certain titles at 4K while the Series S I believe goes to 1440p on the titles that would be 4K on a One X/Series X, I may be wrong.
Series S runs Xbox One S versions of BC games, Series X runs Xbox One X versions.
It did, but curiously only the singleplayer. The multiplayer was capped at 30.
While all of that is very, VERY true (and is very likely in this situation), Microsoft is expected to unveil more Original Xbox and Xbox 360 games to become compatible on Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles on Monday afternoon. With all of that going on, some people are hoping that all of these updates for these Xbox 360 games might mean that Microsoft will implement their FPS Boost feature on them. I don't know (or expect) that to happen, but that won't stop everyone from speculating wildly.
Time to get some of those 360 games FPS boosted. Would be great if games that weren't previously enhanced at all like Dead Space 2 could hit both a high resolution and 60fps on Series S/X.
Wish they'd finally fix Oblivion so Auriel's Ascension will play. It's been almost sixteen years.
I really want FPS Boost on Sonic Unleashed/Generations/Transformed but that's been said a lot already.

Man, who would have thought back in 2005 that 16 years later you'd still have access to most of the purchases you would ever make on the Xbox Live Marketplace AND that they'd still be updating the games you bought to fix bugs and enhance performance and graphics. The 360 has got some hella long legs.
