Here are the specific details in regards to the improvements that have been made for the Crackdown 3 Xbox Series X upgrade. It features Native HDR support with a native 4k resolution at 30fps. 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. That aside, this was a Xbox Play Anywhere title with cross-play support.

Those are the key details that are present. This game is not Optimized on the platform, meaning it wasn’t specifically adjusted for the platform and instead 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
This is the third main entry within the series, and one that can be played entirely fresh if you haven’t experienced the other two prior. It’s all about explosions and wild action in this open world title. It features two ways to play, the first is the regular campaign and the second is the Wrecking Zone multiplayer that had cloud focused combat.

The latter isn’t too playable since players aren’t found often. The campaign allows you to enjoy the action alone, or in coop with another person. It’s all about eliminating the various bosses alongside they minions, and improving your skills by getting kills in various categories. It won’t be easy, but it will be fun. There are many challenges, extra content things to engage with and keys to the city to go wild with.

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 Crackdown 3 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.

To summarize these were the details on if Crackdown 3 can run on Xbox Series X/S console platforms. You can read a review of a related title below, or check out a game hub for further coverage as well. Don’t forget to check out the video content to see the game in action.
