Xbox Series X|S: Every optimised day one release

Lavindathar said:I just wish there was more games. I can get a new TV but I'm waiting until the new ASUS ROG HMDI 2.1 monitors (or something similar) come out.

Team Brether said:I have a 4K TV which is good enough for now, it's just not HDMI 2.1, etc.

Xbox Game Pass tweeted this list of optimized XGP games.

The helmet in Bright Memory reminds me of Halo.

yamayamayaamaa said:There are other new releases that will also look/play/perform better though even without spending £1300+ on a new tv, Not just "Old Games" . Sure people can also play them on the older machines but you will have the best version of it. Is there a glut of new, must have exclusives? No. Does getting into a race in Forza horizon 4 in less than a minute from turning the console on and getting to a fast travel place in 2 seconds make a huge difference to your playing experience? To me it does

Mark Farley said:Very interesting. My gears is 136.5 gb after the upgrade yesterday. It took foreverrrrrrrrrrr to download. MBPS was all over the place yesterday

BushidoBrown305 said:Thats weird. I wonder if I'm not getting the update? I thought it was automatic?

Is there anywhere to check on actual download sizes for each console?

Thanks for this article!

C0LOURMEGREY said:I do have to agree that the launch lineup could be better. They definitely went more for marketing the features of the console this time than the game lineup. I feel like this time it's more a feeling of upgrading your computer to a gaming rig than this feeling like a new console with a new library of games. It's missing like that one big release that is usually attached to most console releases.

Downloading Borderlands 3 upgrade now, 61.66 GB. The game already played nice on One X, looking forward to see the difference (and the shorter loading time!)

Edit: I might be also mistaken but BL3 offered 4k or targeted 60FPS on One X, not 1080p

Edit2: Claptrap manages to cross the screen only 1.5 times. No loading bar :)

psybOltOn said:It was 4k 30 FPS or 1080p 60fps.

Lavindathar said:Yep, that's what I've meant. The article says 1080p OR 60 fps

BushidoBrown305 said:Check and make sure its not both versions installed iv read reports of that happening. That the game updates to the XSX version but keeps the One version too. Sounds like thats what happened to you.

Mark Farley said:Given the difference in installed sizes, how did you both install Gears 5? Was is a fresh install or did you transfer the game via an external drive? Maybe the 136GB has the XB1 assets as well as the XSX assets. Is it listed under 'Shrinkable games' in 'My games & apps'? Also, I'm not sure what happens if the game is on an external drive when it gets an XSX update. The updated game will need to be played off the internal drive so does it move it automatically or does it leave the unoptimised version on the external drive?

KAW 24 said:For me I transferred it over from an external and then deleted it off said external. Then went ahead and upgraded it after that.

That’s a good assumption about both assets. I’ll check shortly if it’s shrinkable

SheBeatsYou said:Very well could be what happened. That’s annoying lol.

BushidoBrown305 said:Mine was a fresh install. I presume mine is ok judging on possible duplicates.

So it's not true what quite a few people told me that almost any game gets a performance boost on XSX|XSS even a few BC titles? Not talking about visuals/resolution just framerate here. They have to be 'manually' optimized by devs/MS like with the One X Enhanced programme?
I was hoping to play quite a few older games with a decent framerate now...

LeXXuz said:the majority of games are better, but some games were created with a locked frame rate. I watched a video online and I think it was Just Cause 4 which still wasn't perfect due to the restriction when the developer made it.
