If you already own Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition for Xbox One, you'll get access to this new remaster via Smart Delivery, which adds 4K resolution, ray tracing, improved loading times, and enhanced lighting and shadows.
- Stunning Visuals: Experience this feature and content-rich action adventure in beautiful 4K. Enhanced by the use of ray tracing and delivering vastly improved lighting and shadows.
