Here are the specific details in regards to the improvements that have been made for the Grand Theft Auto 4 Xbox Series X upgrade. It features no Auto HDR support with a 720p resolution at 60fps since it had an uncapped frame rate when it initially released. 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
Fresh off the boat from Europe, Niko Bellic is trying to escape his past. He teams up with his cousin Roman in order to create a vision of what they think the American dream is within Liberty City. This place is apparently a gateway to the land of opportunity, but they’re swiftly thrown into debt and are dragged into the criminal underworld.

This of course brought some epic narrative moments in the single player campaign with that being expanded upon further through some DLC releases. It also had an expansive multiplayer experience with a variety of modes and ways to battle one another. It definitely was a different era for the series, back when they used to release titles every so often.

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 Grand Theft Auto 4 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 Grand Theft Auto 4 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.
