Here are the specific details in regards to the improvements that have been made for the Resident Evil 2 Xbox Series X upgrade. It features HDR support with three graphic options. All three use a checkerboard image reconstruction. The first is a native 4k resolution at 60fps with no ray tracing effects.

The second is a native 4k resolution at 60fps with ray tracing support that includes subtle effects such as reflections on some surfaces or a global illuminated lighting system. The final option is a native 4k resolution at 120fps with no ray tracing effects. 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 Optimized on the platform, meaning it was specifically adjusted for the platform and received these upgrades through an update to improve the experience. A video showcasing this is found below, alongside a photo representing the game.

Description/Synopsis
A deadly virus engulfs the residents of Raccoon City in September of 1998, plunging the city into chaos as flesh eating zombies roam the streets for survivors. Choose either the perspective of Kennedy or Redfield as you aim to figure out what exactly is going on within the city.

You’ll be solving puzzles, dealing with hordes of the undead and also making your way through an area being ravaged from multiple factions. It’s a dangerous time and you’ll need to tread carefully if you’re going to make it out of this situation alive as it’s most certainly a dangerous one for sure. Good luck out there, it’s a dark and brooding place within this remake entry.

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 Resident Evil 2 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.
