Here are the specific details in regards to the improvements that have been made for the Final Fantasy XIII Xbox Series X upgrade. It features Auto HDR support with a 4k resolution at 30fps. These are inherited from the Xbox One X Enhancement it received. 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 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 follows Lightning, the main protagonist of the game. A former soldier, and older sister to Serah. This is set in the world of Gran Pulse where this massive area Cocoon is a special sphere that floats above the surface of the planet being ruled by Sanctum.

This is a group that rules the landscape keeping things safe and attempting to control the citizens. It’s also mentioned that several hundred years prior to the events of the game that there was a battle known as the “War of Transgression” that took place between Pulse and Cocoon, this fear of another way is what keeps Sanctum people in line. There’s an entire playable cast here which provides unique perspectives to enjoy.

There were also two sequels for the game which expanded the core concepts of the world in many exciting ways. Gameplay is once again the signature turn based style of combat with a live flow to it. You will explore various areas on foot or by using a Chocobo which are a signature bird like creature of the series. While more linear, this one does offer vast areas that make it feel very expansive.

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 Final Fantasy XIII 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.
