"Xbox Series S was designed to be the most affordable next generation console and play next generation games at 1440P at 60fps. To deliver the highest quality backwards compatible experience consistent with the developer's original intent, the Xbox Series S runs the Xbox One S version of backward compatible games while applying improved texture filtering, higher and more consistent frame rates, faster load times and Auto HDR."

What's stopping the PS5 from doing this and/or why haven't they said anything on it if they can or do, do it. Can't watch the video yet.
EvilBoris , so do you think the results are more successful then auto HDR offered by TV vendors?
I agree that would be very cool to see.Really would appreciate a side-by-side comparison in an HDR formatted video to see the difference - without it, it looks great but no baseline to compare to hinders the wowness factor.
Only other thing it doesn't do is run One X enhancements.Series S does it too. It does everything (I think?) that Series X does, other than 4k.
The video is just all 'Series X this and that' because that's the hardware that the press has at the moment.
Not EvilBoris, but my understanding is those TV implementations add significant input lag so they are bad for gaming. This implementation has no lag.
Same thing that's stopping them from supporting PS1-PS3 backwards compatibility.
I just want it available for the hundreds of games I own on PS4 that don't have HDR implemented.
There's general BC frame rates and resolution talk in the vids in the OP. Didn't see anything related to its HDR, only dynamic res boost.Can't watch the video in the OP right now, but I saw RDR2 mentioned as one of the games. Does the video mention if the Auto HDR is better than the in-game HDR?
You can't trigger auto HDR in games that already offer HDR. RDR2, Destiny 2, etc. that already support HDR just have the video author talking about the performance of the game on Series X.Can't watch the video in the OP right now, but I saw RDR2 mentioned as one of the games.

It is wild (and I know most of this exists on One X now) but framed a certain way Final Fantasy XIII Trilogy remastered (4K/HDR) is an exclusive launch title (among many others like that) and if they can they should lean into that marketing for sureIf MS could start re-selling / advertising BC games digitally for a couple of quid, they could be pitched as new experiences. Could have bulletpoints listing if they have HDR, better framerates / more stable ones etc.
I think people would pay a small amount to try out old favourites in ways that make them look better. I think at the moment the games are about a fiver, that's too expensive.
I hear ya, it's just that thus far, as far as we can tell, Sony really doesn't have much intention of doing anything to enhance backwards compatibility.
No doubt they have talented people that could do it, but it doesn't seem like a priority.
That Banjo Kazooie game looks like it came out in 2020. Cool stuff!
I really want to know if the Series X can play unpatched Xbox One games off disc if you aren't online. Like, can you play RDR2 V1.0 in HDR? Can you play AC:Unity V1.0 at 60 fps? Right now, they're limited to whatever's white listed on the service so we don't have that answer yet, but I hope for Xbox One content it doesn't work like Xbox 360 BC does, where the disc just works as a key and you run a downloaded version of the game.You can't trigger auto HDR in games that already offer HDR.

Edit: They did use Fallout New Vegas as an example of a game that does not support auto HDR, which is interesting.
Yes I'm very interested in this too. I'm leaning towards Series X having enough of Xbox One's DNA that if you're disconnected from the internet and you pop in that AC Unity disc it will just install the game from disc as expected on an actual Xbox One. I don't think there's a cut-off with Xbox One games where they now act as a "legacy Xbox title" like 360 and OG Xbox where the disc is a key and the entire install package is downloaded from Microsoft. Might be worth reaching out to DigitalFoundry or Jeff Grubb about that!I really want to know if the Series X can play unpatched Xbox One games off disc if you aren't online.

Because I'm interested in these fringe cases.
Edit: Brain fart forgetting that RDR2 launched with awful HDR, vs no HDR.
Static hud elements getting boosted to 1000nits gets a big yikes from me. Easiest way to ruin your oled tv.

I said earlier that it "won't work" but really should have said I don't see how it would work. Xbox's HDR method is very static, the game is either HDR on or HDR off at boot depending on support and the system level setting. There's no HDR toggle in Xbox games like on some PS4 titles, so if you boot the game and the game sees HDR is enabled at the system level, it just uses its built-in HDR.I'm wondering if I can enable this method to get better HDR in games like Nier Automata where the HDR is bad.
How would that work?
Dude, Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts is a stunner on XSX.
I cannot believe that's a 360 game.

Yup, I love this tech, but I really hope they find a way to leave HUD at a lower brightness.Static hud elements getting boosted to 1000nits gets a big yikes from me. Easiest way to ruin your oled tv.
