Yesterday, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice got a surprise upgrade for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S - adding "enriched visuals, DirectX Raytracing, resolution mode" and more.
As part of this, developer Ninja Theory has had a chat with Xbox Wire about the new update. One of the highlights was the reveal of a certain milestone. The action-adventure game has now been experienced by 6.3 million players across all platforms.
"We’re incredibly proud that four years after launching Hellblade, we still hear from players on pretty much a daily basis who are experiencing our game for the first time. With an incredible 6.3 million total players across all platforms, Senua’s story has reached more people than we could have possibly imagined. We’re excited to give Hellblade a new lease of life with this update on next-gen Xbox consoles, not just to have a definitive version of the game available, but also to ensure we get to see more people experiencing Senua’s journey for years to come."
No doubt a number of these players have enjoyed this game via Xbox Game Pass. The upgrade is also included for XBGP users. Have you tried it out yourself yet? What do you think so far? Tell us down in the comments.

What a perfect time to play with its series X upgrade
The gameplay is not innovative, but climate, immpersion and general feel of the game is top notch. Well deserved success imho!
Great news because it's a great game. Yes, combat is not very complex, but I found that refreshing. I could focus on the story and this is the most important thing for me in any game. And what a story this is... Can't wait for the sequel.
WORD OF WARNING!
If you plan to play this game on your series x do not use quick resume. This game has a glitch that stuffs up your achievements and they WILL NOT pop. DO not use quick resume whatever you do. Quit the game once you have finished for the day
The new resolution mode is quite nice and looks very similar to the PC version. Good balance of visuals plus 60 fps. Does anyone know what all the RT was used for? It looks like reflections, but anything else?
@SithThanos It's actually the same case if you're playing on Xbox One and use rest mode (power save mode or whatever it's called). I was playing through it last year and decided to utilise the system's rest mode and when I resumed, achievements weren't popping up for me.
So yeah, whichever system you own, just make sure to not use rest mode/quick resume and you should be good.
