https://www.windowscentral.com/bioshock-collection-upgraded-xbox-one-x-appears-hit-4k-resolution
The games appear to be running at 4K resolution, or a resolution that's very close to 4K, because they're incredibly sharp. While the menus are a little blurry, the game looks amazing. It's retained the 60 FPS presentation so playing BioShock: The Collection is an absolute treat.


Wonderful news! This collection regularly goes on sale for $10-$15 as well, but I always passed on it since it wasn't enhanced. I'll be buying it immediately the next time it goes on sale.

Dang, that's good. As someone who played BioShock Infinite on PC at its launch when the last-gen consoles were turning in highly variable performance (and PC wasn't performing 100% as expected either but it was a lot better than consoles), it was a bit of a disappointment to see the initial rerelease on base consoles a few years back turn in less-than-perfect results. Sucks that it takes enhanced consoles to cover the gap but still cool that console players at least maybe have this option at some point later — hopefully backwards compat can take advantage of these enhancements on both new consoles if an enhanced spec console is out of the question.

I loved playing the originals on PC.

Got the remasters too but will play them soon.


Dont have a PS4Pro but may get them again on PS4...gonna have to get used to the controls since I've never really played a shooter with a controller (well I did once but it went pretty terrible - reaction time and all).

Oh that's great! I tried playing Infinite on Pro maybe a month ago but was turned off by the 30fps and the general controls. It felt a little hollow too.

Might add it back to my list.

I've been thinking about replaying the trilogy and this is the perfect reason to get the remasters for my One X.

Of course I just replayed Bioshock 1 a couple of weeks ago. Oh well, I can still enjoy the benefits in B2 and Infinite.

It is? I got it on both Bioshock 1 and 2. I hope they fix it because I really want to replay them.
Yes, FPS and framepacing look damn near flawless from VG Tech's measurements:

Sony's reluctance to support 1440P(native) on the Pro has me worried the PS5 will stick with 4k/60Hz TV standards. MS has been great with this aspect

I literally just went through them again last week. Son of a bitch.

Haha, same, I just replayed all three games less than a month ago.

Might be cool to see if I can tell any difference though since they're still pretty fresh in my mind.

Well, I just tested them and there's constant judder on the games. They look sharp but they don't run good tbh.


It also got updated.

Makes sense, they already didn't run at 60 locked, so unless they did some extensive tinkering I would expect them to run worse.

I remember the Infinite DLC especially having some pretty nasty moments where the frame rate dropped significantly, and I was playing on an X1X.

Is this just on consoles? The reviews of the remastered versions on PC make them sound like buggy piles of poop. (B1 and B2...)

Few weeks ago the games were horrendous and blurry and full of jaggies on PS4 Pro, Now they are perfectly fine and playable with this res upgrade.

I'm guessing a new bioshock reveal at the Sony event.
Nah. This only happened because it coincided with the Switch release. It was also broken up into alà carte releases while Borderlands was updated to include Borderlands: GOTY Edition like the Switch release. They just used this as an opportunity to update things across the board for these games.

The judder is really bad on Bioshock 1, I really hope they don't leave it like this. How do bugs like this make it into the final patch? Did no one play it before releasing it?

Any word on if the audio issues and PS4 10 save limit bug is patched?

Been awhile since I've played but I want to say the first two games also had a bunch of visual bugs across all platforms. Basically does anyone know if the nagging issues have been fixed? I have the PC version which I remember being left in the roughest state.

Very cool that this came out but.... it's a little late? Didn't this collection release 4 years ago? I wonder what prompted this "sudden" patch and upgrade? Things like this aren't cheap. 🤔

Same company that did the PS4 & X1 remasters did the recently released Switch remaster so I guess they used the Switch release as an excuse to touch up the other versions.
