Microsoft continues to expand its fan service in the form of Xbox One X enhanced titles and backwards compatibility.
Today they announced four new Xbox 360 titles that have been enhanced for the Xbox One X ; all of which are major hits. The Witcher 2, Crackdown, Fable Anniversary, and Forza Horizon have been added to the program which brings the total of Xbox 360 games enhanced for the Xbox One X to eleven. This is also the first time Crackdown is playable on the Xbox One likely as play to build excitement for Crackdown 3.
Xbox 360 titles enhanced for the Xbox One X run at 9 times the pixel count as they originally did while maintaining all of the original assets. The latest release also enables a new graphics setting for Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One X thus giving players more control over the experience.
Our Take
We’ve commented on it before but Microsoft is simply killing it right now with their offerings. Between backwards compatibility for both Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles, upgraded games for the Xbox One X, Game Pass, and EA Access, they are offering players a tremendous amount of options in how and what they play. We certainly hope they continue down this path for a long time and other platform developers take note.
