Even on the OG XBox One, the double buffer VSYNC that is applied to 360 games makes them feel soooo much smoother to play. Trust me, it's really hard for me to go from some games like Portal 2 amongst others that have really bad judder, to playing them on my One and having a smoother experience.
I'm simply repeating what Xbox Wire already publicly said in February 🙂

Xbox Series X: A Closer Look at the Technology Powering the Next Generation - Xbox Wire
A few months ago, we revealed Xbox Series X, our fastest, most powerful console ever, designed for a console generation that has you, the player, at its center. When it is released this holiday season, Xbox Series X will set a new bar for performance, speed and compatibility, all while allowing...

Yep its gonna be great not having to plug in old consoles again and taking up needed space or if your old console dies from age, your gaming collection lives on. Flex.
Yeah that isn't accurate so I'm confused too. Many games do not perform any better on X than on XB1... and his assertion all games from XB1 are BC is not explicitly stated in the sources he cited
It was not done automatically. They applied the Heutchy method they created to enhance Xbox 360 and OG Xbox games to a XB1 game in order to achieve it. The game has to go through a process where the BC team had to apply the Heutchy method and trick the renderer to render the native resolution at double what it was orginally.
Yup. I will give my One X to my partner and she will give her Xbox One to our nephew (he is 7) so he can play Fortnite with his dad.
So it's definitely not done automatically, and still has to go through a process even if it's easier, right?
Not so fast. Read his recent posts. He is citing the same blogs I parsed. Phil's comments a few weeks ago remain indicative of some kind of approval for working games in the works.
Thank you. This is the best explanation I've read on why MS is so successful with their backward compatibility efforts.
the point is to enhance a BC game without the need of a patch and hence dev and publisher effort. Clearly something has to be done, it's not magic
Yes publisher approval. Just like 360 and og Xbox games. They need to legally.
Sure, but that's not AUTO. Auto would be something done at the system level such as XB1X adding AFx16 to non patched XB1 games for example.
It is wild that that i can still download and play digital games i purchased in 2005 on my X1X and soon Series X. Hell i can even play disc i bought in 2001 on current systems. Even my account and friends list has followed me since 2003. Microsoft has really been the best when it comes to its digital ecosystem being consumer friendly. There have been a few blunders but compared to Nintendo and Sony its on another level.
its so strong that it loops back and gets weak and runs fusion frenzy at half resolution and fps
Right, so it's not full BC. It's a whitelist again, and many games won't boot. Not every single game has been promised.
