A consolidated thread for how games are running whether they be patched or not. I'll start with the ones I've tried on Series X:
Horizon 4 - basically the PC version that runs at 4k60fps with no performance issues. It might be placebo but it seemed like the pop in was a little worse compared to running at max settings on my PC on a NvME drive.
Gears 5 - Looks pretty much like the PC version though it does have extra settings. There's some minor stuttering that seems like a streaming issue. One disappointment is that there's still no FoV slider which makes it still worse than the PC version for me.
Kingdom Hearts 3 - no specific patch but this was actually one of the more impressive things I tried. It's basically locked 60fps compared to the 40-50fps on the 1X even during the huge boss fight I played. Funnily enough the ugly Gummi ship sections were stuttering.
Sea of Thieves - Only tried this briefly but I was already getting annoying stutter in the first beginner island, pretty sure it's running at 4K. It's nice looking for sure though at 60fps.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps - Absolutely pristine IQ in the 6k mode and I didn't see any performance issues whatsoever. On PC I had random stutters around water and area transitions but that's nowhere to be seen here.
AC Valhalla - The game looks good and actually seems to run at 60 or close to it most of the time. The real problem is the screen tearing which happens pretty often. Really hoping for a patch here given that's the only mode you can play at.
Gonna try Ace Combat 7 after it finished downloading and Titanfall 2 which is in Game Pass and apparently can hit 6k.
I'll make one for PS5 when that comes out.
