I'd start by checking out Game Pass, there's plenty there already.

Do you have any Xbox One games already? Because it depends on that!

If you are into Racing I would say Forza Horizon 3 or Forza Motorsport 7.
If you are into adventure gaming I would say Assassins Creed Origins or Rise of the Tomb Raider
If you are into RPG I would say The Witcher 3
If you are into shooters it becomes difficult what to recommend because I did not play through anyone of the available ones yet.

Some of the games above should be also cheaper by now as they were released some time ago.

You can get a month's free game pass, that has a bunch of X enhanced games including halo 5.

Tomb Raider and Sea of Thieves will be on there to.

Forza Horizon 3 is amazing in 4K

There are a few game with full game trials too, Tomb Raider and Ghost Recon Wildlands both do I think.

Forza 7 has a demo you can download

Fortnite and Warfame are both free downloads . Fortnite has just had a big update and runs 4K/60*

Titanfall 2 looks amazing at 4K also.

Many thanks! I'll probably grab Titanfall 2 and Fortnite for now and save the rest. Gamepass as well since I really want to play Rise of the Tomb Raider and Sea of Thieves.

Hi guys !

So I just received my One X. But for now, I'll stay with my 1080p display (waiting till march/april for Sony's X900F).

Here is my backlog :

Ark Survival Evolved
Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360)
Assassin's Creed Origins
Call of Duty Infinite Warfare
Fallout 4
Gears of War 3 (Xbox 360, actually waiting for the others to get the same treatment, I've yet to go through all games again)
Gears of War 4
Halo Wars 2
Halo 5
Mirror's Edge (Xbox 360)
Quantum Break
Recore Definitive Edition
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Van Helsing 2 (but didn't like the first one)
The Witcher 3
TitanFall 2

Thank you for your feedback guys :)

Save all of them for your 4K HDR tv. ;-)

Really, though, the ones that are true showcase 4K HDR titles are, in my opinion:
  • Assassin's Creed Origins
  • Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
  • Gears of War 4
  • Halo Wars 2
  • Halo 5
  • Rise of the Tomb Raider
  • The Witcher 3
  • TitanFall 2

Yep. Those are what I was going to highlight. With the length of The Witcher 3, it could be something to start and see the difference once they get a new TV.

What I thought... I'll go for Recore I guess. At least I'll be in for a threat with the right display :D

What I was thinking of. It's what I'm doing for Horizon, one playthrough now, and the new game + and remaining achievements in 4k !

Upgraded from the One S to the X at the weekend. Don't even have a 4K TV yet, but I couldn't resist any longer.

It's a sexy machine.

So now I have a bunch of X enhanced titles ready for when I get the TV and in the meantime, a months free Game Pass to check out Sea of Thieves. Good times.

I'm assuming the console just automatically upscales everything as far as possible for my 1080p TV? Just checking because the PS4 Pro has a 'boost mode' that you can choose to activate or not, in the system settings.

I should put that blurb in the OP. The Xbox One X will super-sample down to whatever resolution your Xbox One X is set to automatically without any further settings.

Xbox News Wire said:
What is Supersampling?

If there's one thing I'd love for you to take away from all this information is this: a 4K screen is not required to play great games on Xbox One X. Your games will still look and run much better on Xbox One X than any other console on the market regardless of your television and that's thanks to supersampling. Supersampling also helps to reduce "jaggies" around the edges of objects and other staircasing-like effects

Think of supersampling as the cousin of upscaling. Instead of taking a lower resolution image and blowing up (creating a distortion) like upscaling's effect, supersampling takes a high-resolution image and scales it down to your television's native resolution — be it 720p or 1080p — to bring all the information that Xbox One X is pouring into its games and beaming to the screen.

But supersampling is more than just resolution as any Xbox One X Enhanced title running on at 1080p television is still taking advantage of the power of the system. That makes your draw distance better, greater special effects, and everything else that's running under the hood of the world's most powerful console.

It's no X enhanced, but if you're looking for a cheap game, CDkeys has AC Unity codes for $1.50. Pretty solid game

Awesome.

I'm just now finishing up yet another run through the Mass Effect trilogy (on part 3, so a 360 title is the first game I played on my X. BC rocks!) and I honestly thought flying around the Galaxy map that everything looks...brighter, and the game just looks more detailed and colourful in general. Seems to load everything much quicker as well. Didn't know if any of that was just in my head though :-)

When I played Infinite Warfare on my S, I never even had a second thought about performance. I was just amazed by how freaking good it looked and performance never dropped so much or consistently that it affected my enjoyment of the game in any way.

I did only play the campaign though, so I can't speak at all to multiplayer.

Yeah. That game is extremely good looking.

Ordered an X from antonline's eBay deal. Got the X, PUBG, and Overwatch for $460. It'll be here tomorrow. I'm crazy excited. Now I just gotta start saving up for that 4K tv...

I'm hankering to take advantage of my X. Trying to resist buying games from franchises I've traditionally not enjoyed.

Like Assassin's Creed.

Forza Horizon 3 looks gorgeous though, I just already played the mess out of it when it launched.

Does Infinite Warfare even have an X patch?

Yup, for a little bit now. I just finished my first playthrough maybe a week ago. It looks incredibly crisp, though you can see occasional screen-tearing sneak in every now and then. Framerate in campaign is in that "solid enough" territory; never gets hairy, but if you're sensitive, you'll feel drops here and there. A few patches ago, I know specifically that the Pro version had a more stable framerate.

I don't really feel it plays much like the previous games, so much so that as someone who always enjoyed AC, I'm struggling to enjoy this one. Weirdly I'm not really into BoTW either, which shares s fair bit in common

Am I wrong for still hesitating on Origins for $30 knowing there is significant paid DLC still coming? I am tempted to go Monster Hunter World for my next game because I doubt I will get stuck paying more for the true version of the game. I am sort of tempted to double dip on The Witcher 3 because it runs better than my PC but my dual 670's actually do 60fps just fine on medium settings. I got burned with buying the base version of that game too. Still haven't gotten the 2 expansions.

Just got my X and it is such a bad ass piece of kit. Came with PUBG which is shelved until it doesn't run like hot garbage, Fortnite Battle Royale runs so well and scratches that itch for me. THAT game is amazing on the X, holy shit.

Well you get v-sync and 16xAF forced on all BC titles and Xbox One titles that aren't X enchanced. Plus BC games tend to run very close to rock solid 30fps on games that fell under on 360 and Xbox OG.

Yeah the Pro already looks pretty crazy and the frame rate was almost flawless from what I remember. Nor sure what they did with the 1X version exactly, probably just bumped it up to 4K and called it a day.

Seems like the latest patch has ruined Battlefront 2. Game looked amazing, now it is a jaggies fest on the X. Seems like all platforms have received a downgrade. Very disappointing as the framerate at launch was good. No reason to downgrade it.

Battlefront 2 always had an annoying lag stutter for me since launch, not sure if that was just an issue on every platform. I haven't booted it up this year yet though.

I hope Witcher 2 is not the only enhanced game we get today but even if it is I'll totally be starting my second playthrough tonight.

Battlefront 2 stuttered so much for me on the X I couldn't play it. Even in the campaign it stuttered often. A friend of mine who never notices that stuff said it was happening to him too. The Pro version didn't stutter at all in campaign, and only stuttered in MP during galactic assault. Blast was flawless, which is my go to mode.

In other news, Mafia 3 was on sale for $15 digitally on gamestop's website, so I picked up a copy. Very disappointed to see the X version again not performing as well as the Pro. The resolution did seem higher, which was nice, but there was a slight microstutter when driving, and the beginning when walking through the mardi gras crowd, it became very choppy. I was so mad that I turned around and bought the PS4 version too just to do direct comparisons, lol. The Pro remained solid during the previously mentioned segment and no stutter. It did appear softer though, and makes my Pro sound like a jet engine, but yeah. So now I own it on both systems digitally, lol.

Is this a new development? I don't have it, but followed at least three tech analysis teams, and between hours of footage (including online play), they didn't come across any pacing or framerate issues to note.

Was something announced?
It wasn't announced but I'd be very surprised if that thing on the Xbox Store amounts to nothing. My guess is Major tweets about it later although it could happen on Thursday too.

Edit:
I'm looking at the store right now and in the spanish translation for the page there's no confusion between the wording of Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition (the actual 360 version) and X enhancements for said 360 version. I've seen people confused with that so there's my 2 cents.

I can specifically recall the Digital Foundry analysis showing framerate drops on the XB1X. Not severe, but frequent enough to be annoying. Digital Foundry were strangely not that fussed about it, and I recall finding odd at the time.

Right, I think they noted small drops on across every mode (they mentioned in the first write-up that there was room more improvements in the dynamic scaler), but they were impressed by the overall frame timing and smoothness. I was susprised hearing psychotron describing "stutter," in particular. Unless they're using that word in a way I don't normally see, that sounds like something else.

Sorry about the late reply, I had actually not taken any screenshots of the game yet. I took a couple this weekend. Anybody want to pixel count Dead Rising 4?!
Since I didn't see anyone else respond, thought I'd take a stab at it. The geometry here counts as 1800p. But the overall image quality isn't as high as that number would suggest. To begin with, filtering is set low (I'd say 4xAF), and the textures in general are less sharp than you'd probably want for a 4K image (though some are higher). In addition, the shadow maps are low-res, and the chainlink fence texture too thin to be seen even at relatively close distances. And there may be some sort of aggressive post-process AA involved (perhaps TAA?), because distant trees and zombies seem much blurrier than they should. The game as a whole really doesn't seem to be reaping the rewards of its pretty high buffer size.

Of course, these shots are only from one tiny area. It's quite possible the game is sharper elsewhere, or that it runs dynamically and these shots are coincidentally from a dip in performance.

Nobody mentions Shadow of War that much...I thought it was on par with Origins for HDR/4K ?...is it not...? waiting for it to drop back to around 49,or less CAD, to grab it.

Nah. I mean they did a great job with the modes and 4K. But the game itself doesnt come close looks wise towards AC. Doesnt mean its looks nice. But AC is another league really.
Btw if you want to find the game cheap. Its 35 CAD on cdkeys.
