Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One X Enhanced Games: All Titles, Platforms, and Details

Curious too. Anyone? And is the Sea, Air Land expansion worth a few bucks?
Halo: Master Chief Collection has a massive patch right around the corner that is pretty much a relaunch of the game. This patch includes X enhancements. Native 4k/HDR visuals. Perfect place to start with Halo.
Also, I'd be prepared to buy every multiplatform game on the X from here on out. It's the best console to play virtually every multiplatform game.
Play all upcoming multiplats on the X unless you have buds on PS4. This is what I do now and get a lot out of my new TCL set. Do you have a pro or base PS4?
If you never played Ryse or Quantum those were good unless you had a decent PC.
Do we have any confirmation on these? The Xbox digital store doesn't think they are enhanced, even though they are referenced in the official page.
Try Game Pass and download a ton of games to see if you like anything.
Pay $5 for a month of EA Access and play Titanfall 2 and all of the other games EA has on the service.
Both of those could keep you busy for months if you choose to subscribe to either, and they'll also both give you discounts on games you decide to permanently purchase.
It does drastically improve performance and gives it the same benefits it did when PS4 Pro Boost Mode is on. Still not perfect 30fps but close. It won't touch resolution or anything as it isn't a X title.

Yes.
Gaming Bolt is where I got the information for MOTHERGUNSHIP and Tempest 4000 is listed as "4K Ultra HD" on Microsoft's Enhancements list, which (almost) always means 2160p.
Thanks for the info! I know the MOTHERGUNSHIP demo on X1X definitely runs under 1080p (it looks much worse than the PS4/Pro demo) so I'm glad it will be brought up to par).
Thank you, i do have a PS4 Pro and a 4k HDR TV. I got Quantum today for $9.99, was unsure on Ryse so held off
Right now everyone i play with is on PS4 so no current friends on Xbox, i guess its time to build some Xbox pal relationships.
Gonna do Gamepass and the EA pass. I always buy the year old baseball and football titles so the EA one will work out for me.
Well, this are working for the most part great! I'll do some more comparisons to make sure its not just placebo effect, but I've been playing a TON of Fallout 4 on my OG since it went on Gamepass, and the second I loaded it up on the X it is very noticeable change to be sharper and smoother than on the OG... even on my old TV. The bad news is, I'm not so sure the X can push a game like Fo4 at 4K, because the framerate is worse than on the OG. As far as I can tell on Bethesda forums there is no way to force 1080p "performance mode", it is 4K all the way :(. There are some unofficial performance mods I will give a shot as well. I guess it's not the end of the world because I've loved Fo4 so much I've committed to buying the GOTY on PC (instead of season pass on Xbox), but still I'd be lying if I said that better Fo4 performance wasn't a significant driver for my X purchase, so a bit disappointing here.
Other games are wonderful so far, and the UI is improved as well.Once I finish transferring all of my games from the OG, I'll be able to sell it off and help take away some of the pain of this upgrade, then I'm sure I'll be quite happy with the purchase ;)
Sonic Mania's X enhanced update is out now. Aside from getting the game ready for the DLC, it now offers 4K output for perfect scaling. Looks much cleaner now, especially if you like your scanlines.
It improves it but it still struggles with lots of explosions, feels like it hits 20 in those moments. It's still a really fun game tho and I 100% all the achievements. And yes the expansions are worth it.
I have the game for PS4 and have the supersampling, it's great that Xbox One X owners can now have a proper 4K experience too!

Ditto. I want to revisit the first game and I've never played the second, but I'm waiting on an X Enhancement patch for both.
It's not super-sampling (unless you're still playing on a 1080p screen), it's just getting scaled evenly to 4K, 240p multiplies perfectly in to 2160p (9x) but not 1080p (4.5x). Hence the game looks far cleaner with 4K output on a 4K screen than it does at 1080p output on a 1080p screen.
Also have the game on Pro and it has had the 4K mode since launch there, but because X launched after Sonic Mania, X has had to wait until the Plus update to get the patch.
Now if only the Sega Megadrive Collection bothered to offer 4K output.
OMG @ the comments on that article. Says a lot about GamingBolt's audience I think.

Yeah, I'm still playing on a 1080p screen, I don't have 4K yet.
FYI Sunset Overdrive is on Gamepass - though not X enhanced - still very much worth playing.
For Halo, I suggest you hold off for now. The 4K update is coming soon and it will be added to Gamepass as well. That way you can play the whole series at 4K 60fps. Will be glorious.
There's a club for people looking for friends to play the Game Pass games with. It's called Game Pass Multiplayer and has about 45 members right now. Good for finding folks for Vermintide 2, The Division, etc. Might be worth a look for you?
Yup. I though 2 was X enabled but nope. I wanted to replay before 3
Yeah one of the few enhanced games to actually use 4K textures too
I think that Halo: MCC relaunch on Gamepass with X1X Enhancements (Native 4K + HDR + Better textures and effects) will be something memorable.
I'm a fan since 2001 and I'm dying to replay it soon, but can't even image the experience of bursting Halo 1 to Halo 4 (+H5) today for a newcomer, with proper 4K/HDR setup.
It will be mind exploding.

For me the best the very best enhancements I have seen so far.
It will be X1X Enhanced other then 4K/HDR added.
This means auto-AF16x at least, plus improvements to assets/effects/filters in general, even if minor.
yeah I played a bit of the first again the other day on my PC and its one of the games from last gen that aged the best
Automatic 16xAF is only applied to games that are not manually enhanced. Perhaps 343i will still be able to manually enable 16xAF in older Halo games, but Halo 5, for instance, had better texture filtering on the X before the enhancement patch went live.
Yes, it has. Couldn't even finish it because the game feels so sluggish.
From people testing Flight 2, they already reported Native 4K/HDR, better AF/AA filtering in H1/H3, and MUCH better picture quality of H2A. ;)
Flight 3 should be live this week.
I think that the final build/patch will reflect this mix of 4k/HDR only (+AF16x) for H1/H3/H3:ODST/H4, and more X1X Enhancements added for H2A.
That's good to hear. Either way, those games are all going to look far better than they do now.
I could have sworn it was 110GB of something when I had it a few years ago. Might be getting my Microsoft games mixed up.
Its at 62gb now. And what we saw from the new Intelligent delivery system after the update it comes at 70.4gb

Days ago, I fired up the game to show the Gal Pal the amazing beginning and I had no issues with the way the game controlled. And this is coming from someone who put 30 hours into the PS4 version.
I'm not saying you're wrong, as I may not be as sensitive to it as you, but your impression is the first I've seen about the input lag since the X patch. Can anyone else corroborate this? Any online articles that compare/contrast this particular issue.
Prey is such an unbelievable ride; I'd hate for someone to lose out on that experience, especially at $15.
Side note, I thought the image quality looked fantastic with the X patch.
Okay, I also need some help on deciding on an X Enhanced game that is also on sale. How big of an improvement is Diablo 3 on the X over the PS4 Pro?
I've put way, way, way, way, way too many hours into the PS4 Pro version (and slightly less into PC) and am hours away from the Platinum. I gotta admit, I'm tempted to start all over again on the X, but I'm unsure on just how much better an experience it'll be on resolution alone.
Not a huge difference at all, certainly not enough to warrant paying out for again. Only game out of all of them I'd double dip on is Dishonoured 2 due to the huge resolution difference and addition of 4k textures
So? My point still stands. They are not changing anything on assets and textures.
Someone else will have to help you with that, but let me also recommend you give Path of Exile a look if you haven't already. It's more of a spiritual successor to Diablo 2, but it's great, and it's also free to play (but not what you would expect from a F2P game, there are basically no roadblocks to prevent you from enjoying the game for free).
