Here are the specific details in regards to the improvements that have been made for the Assassin's Creed Odyssey Xbox Series S upgrade. It features HDR support with a dynamic 1080p resolution at 60fps. While partially inherited from the Xbox One original base release this was given a further frame rate improvement.

Additionally, the resolution was improved from what was originally 900p, so it should actually look quite better visually. Other elements weren’t adjusted, but the world should also render better than it has in the past. It should smoothly hit these targets with the extra power that is present. It is worth nothing that most games do receive a standard 16x anisotropic filtering through Xbox Backwards Compatibility.

Those are the key details that are present. This game is technically Optimized on the platform, meaning it was specifically adjusted for the platform and received these upgrades through either inheriting it from the previous generation or automatically. A video showcasing this is found below, alongside a photo representing the game.


Description/Synopsis
Write your own epic tale as you become a legendary Spartan hero. Forge your own way in this massive world choosing between a male of female hero for which the story will be adjusted ever so slightly. It’s quite an interesting dynamic when the right moment hits. Then you will explore ancient Greece, choosing a path in this battle between Sparta and Athens with dynamic choices.

There will be wars waged between up to 150v150 soldiers at once in grand scale conflicts. If the absolutely insanely large land mass isn’t enough for you the cover offers expansive sea portions to explore as you become a pirate of sorts out there if you so choose. Your choices in this world will impact the greater scale of things with advanced nemesis systems and a deep aim to assassinate a group that has done this land great harm.

If that’s not enough you can continue to battle further through expansive DLC that makes the experience feel as though it trudges on until the end of time and or when you feel you’ve had enough of this wildly expansive offering that’s just quite a blast to dive into. It offers many ways to battle, to explore and to conquest this unique place within the universe of the franchise.

Hopefully you found these details helpful in regards to understanding how this game is running on the platform. Whether that’s in the boosted resolution (visual fidelity) that’s provided in the filtering, or just generally the extra performance that assists with the Assassin's Creed Odyssey frame rate to keep it running smoothly.

Certainly great to see what these games can provide on the latest console platform that features full backwards compatible support and will see many new titles release over its lifespan. It should be exciting to see what’s to come for the consoles and how much gaming will change over this generation.
