the hope is they figure out a sufficiently general method so I can play Dark Souls 3 at higher resolution and framerate

Every single Xbox One game and every back-compat original Xbox and Xbox 360 game will work on Series X + Extra enhancements for some

Yes that's the same with the 360 games. They off course need to tested.
Yeah, the fans will kick in and melt the machine. Running uncomplicated software is harder for a console
Same here. I still prefer physical, But I feel better about buying digital games when I know that they are going to work on future hardware.
Damn, props to Xbox.
Sony better respond, because right now I'm kinda miffed. I don't want some "100 top games work" bullshit.
I want to be able to play trails of cold steel.
Then again, "why would anyone want to play this?", so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

Then why would you say "every single" if they may not get through tests and approval for them all? They didn't get through all the 360 games and the source in your OP has backtracked
There's a good thread on this somewhere, but here's the wiki entry on it.
There isn't a huge selection, but they all run at 4K (ish)
Pretty sure dark souls 3 runs with an unlocked framerate so expect minimum 60fps. Dare i say it, potentially 100+fps......
Okay, thank you!
Then I don't understand what this thread is about, we've known about BC for a while now:
Xbox -> Select BC with select enhancements
X360 -> Select BC with select enhancements
XB1 -> Full BC with X1 games and with the X1X enhancement patches
In short, whatever you play on your X1X, you will play on XSX the exact same way, but you'll hit the framerate/dynamic resolution cap consistently thanks to the added power. So titles with an unlocked framerate (like KH3, for instance) will run at max fps with no developer intervention, while unpatched capped titles will run as they do now on your machine (e.g. X1 AC:Syndicate will still run at 900p)
What appears to be possible as an "auto" enhancement is HDR, though, and I look forward to seeing it in action! It's really promising
EDIT: wait, even X1 games will have a whitelist?

Because he said it. 360 games were also a problem abit more legal wise. As it was never planned before and were also alot of older games. This is less the case with xbox one
Ok so it may not be every single game and the guy you quoted has since said in this thread and the other that he's not on the team and he was repeating the goal he heard publicly like the rest of us. The blogs he linked in the other thread do not promise every single game like your title says. They have not expressly guaranteed this. Phil says it is in an approval list system as of 3 weeks ago.

Yeah, I think the lower selection probably makes this not worth it for me, but it's nice for people who are already in the ecosystem.
(And thank you for the link; I just expected a ballpark estimation for an answer, but you went above and beyond to grab a link. :)
on my 1X seems to run not higher than 30 From Software fps, I could be wrong though

I cant go back in time lol. I said "every single" because he said it.
To be fair, Sony will have to dedicate dev hours to make this happen, so there is a cost on their end. If the games are reasonably priced, I don't see this being an issue.
Then it's probably fair that they havent explicitly said every single title will be available (especially day 1), because they cant know for sure at this time. It's extremely unlikely they have tested every game at this point.
Time travel may not be your strong suit, but it is probably within your abilities to ask a mod to correct the title to say that it is their goal
All game will come with you. It's what they marketed and what will happen, regardless of the process behind doors.
Microsoft is doing great things with XSX, to be able to use all existing games and peripherals on X1 for their new system will help get through inevitable new release droughts.
That's one hell of a launch lineup. It will be great to bring my Xbox One Backlog to the next generation; I've only finished 9(?!) games. 😟
Microsoft has handled this the right way. Full BC with automatic enhancements. Yesterday I was still leaning on getting PS5 on launch, but since Sony seems to offer piss poor BC on launch I might initially get XSX.
I'm really happy how Spencer and his team has managed to change the course of Xbox. Good times ahead.

What about old 360 games that are off the market place and delisted but I still have in my downloaded games section?
Holy fuck more resolution bumps for 360 is my dream. Alan wake with 4K and HDR would probably make me cry with happiness.
Ah ok. Yes the game is locked to 30fps. Thats because from software never patched it for xbox to run unlocked (they did for ps4 pro). Until they do, it will be same on the xsx i reckon. Similar to how the x has handled upgrades. I could be wrong though.
So far Sony has sent a mixed message that only 100 popular PS4 games are so far working but some with issues. It'll take awhile to get more working from yesterday to launch date. Xbox has guaranteed that all 360 games currently BC on Xbox One are BC with some OG titles. By the launch date, MS might have more BC titles, but MS Gaming has guaranteed that all Xbox One games will be BC at launch for Xbox Series X, so take the news as you see fit, but Phil's confirmation with others and Sony's lack of response has made my launch decision easy. I might get a PS5 down the road on the cheap, but mostly for 1st party games.
Maybe you could update the OP with what Phil actually said recently and get a mod to fix the title so it doesn't say something unconfirmed citing someone who doesn't stand by having the power to verify such a commitment.

I'm referring to the posts above yours Nolbertos . It sounds like it isn't full X1 BC, or at least it isn't truly guaranteed?

Maybe add this from Rich, as well. Emphasis mine.
"AMD has worked with Microsoft to deliver full hardware backwards compatibility with current gen systems. Untouched, Xbox One and Xbox One X code will run natively on Series X..."
The only bad thing about Gears of War 2 is that it's too good.
Truly prescient
This may sound fanboyish, but I believe Sony's head honcho when he said BC is something people want very much but dont end up using, they have the data.
I've owned PS1-4 and never touched a "last gen game" once new console's released. With the biggest games being yearly things or services BC really doesn't matter, it's great for optics.
