Here are the specific details in regards to the improvements that have been made for the Overwatch Xbox Series X upgrade. It features HDR support with a dynamic 4k resolution that should be hitting the native mark most of the time at 60fps. 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
While being a multiplayer only experience there is a heavy bit of lore behind this one. You’ll be clashing on the battlefields of tomorrow while using a wide range of dynamic hero like characters. It’s a varied cast offering a wide range of abilities, and ways to attack opponents.

It features a large selection of maps, seasonal events and received many updates over the years. It’s all about team based action providing some high quality visual elements and surprises along the way. You’ll be facing off while trying to take control of the particular maps and moving around onto different sections of them depending on the mode you’re playing. There are both arcade and more advanced options for playing as well.

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 Overwatch 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.
