Side by Side Comparison Technical Notes
This gap in technology is rather interesting, but also not as far apart as it probably should be. With that, we’re looking at the current state of Minecraft from where it was left on Xbox 360 to where it is now on Xbox Series X.

The former was impressive for its time, with the latter being rather underwhelming. Considering this is a flagship franchise under Microsoft you would imagine a better showcase on the next generation console. You don’t see any HDR support for either and past that the resolution quality is minimal.

Sure, it’s Minecraft which isn’t the fanciest visual presentation. At the same time when you look at PC in a 4k resolution or with ray tracing support with NVIDIA’s RTX it can be very impressive when it’s being pushed visually. Whatever the case, it runs mostly smooth on the Xbox Series X but it does have some stutters which is shocking.

The Xbox 360 version, through many updates over the years not has somewhat iffy performance and a lower rendering distance. Still, impressive for its time and setup. Keep in mind the latest version is also Bedrock whereas the other version was a custom solution managed by 4J Studios since its initial launch.
