60 FPS Mode - A how to guide for CDPR
900-1080p dynamic res
Lower settings towards the Xbox One version (if necessary)
Stable 60fps
Surely this is the way to go?
I fully believe that the Series S could run any Xbox One S version of a game at 60fps, for example XB1 Dying Light 2 would be a quick way to incorporate a performance mode into the XSS version.
Mirror the XB1S settings and the XSS would offer a stable 60fps. I would guess that you could pump up the settings further from that starting point too.
This was such an annoying bug, it really was very laggy, it made the console feel less premium and slow. Much much improved now, it's instant!
(Only tried it on my Series X so far).
The commas have finally been added to you Gamerscore too! Lovely!
I do take the odd screenshot or clip, but to be honest I think I would use he button more for something like magnify.
You can just bring up the guide and grab a shot/vid in there instead. A nice little update.
Edit
A quick way to access audio settings would be my favourite option.
@GuyinPA75 The One S version runs at 1080p 60fps, so this is just a res bump to 4K.
Weird bug though, I've not heard of any other One X enhanced game not running on the Series X, I thought this was at OS level, I'm surprised that the game needs to be patched by the developers.
Wow! A very very rare thing, a month where I don't own any of the games!
For that reason I'm happy with the titles on offer. I'll try at least two of them, and as always I will grab them all.
I bought five or six games, held myself back from buying any more as it's a fact that they have to work their way through the games for Games with Gold, and I'd like to get the odd freebie, most months I own at least one of the games.
The return of Blur and Prototype would be great.
If they want exclusives on the Xbox platform which would shift some units/use on XCloud those are Wonderful exclusives right there. A revamped True Crime too.
Also how about a series of smaller games that are remakes of classics, River Raid, Pit Fall, Chopper Command etc.
....Rock n Roll Racing!
Geometry Wars, well it's a shame that they brought it back already with the disappointing third instalment, but maybe taking a fresh look at it they could come up with something more inline with the first two awesome games.
MS will own a huge pile of franchises when this deal is done.
@Banjo- Yep, and those Xbox One X enhanced games are still applicable on the Series S*, so there is def enough grunt to make this happen.
I would be happy with a toggle for all back compat games that had a warning saying this is untested and may affect the game. Like boost mode on PS4 Pro, you choose if you want to try it or not.
(*X One Enhanced games still get a res boost on the XSS, just a lesser one than the XSX).
@Banjo- Yeah, 360 games would benefit from this greatly.
For example all the old COD games, already at 60FPS, but very low resolutions (some sub 720p) even a 2x multiplier would make them look a lot sharper, they could definitely push for even higher too.
I would suggest that the team implements a new feature.... Res boost. This should be very easy to achieve compared to FPS boost as you are not going to potentially mess with any physics or in game systems dependent on frame rate. Just up the res to a level the GPU can manage, a simple multiplier, even a modest amount. It would make the games which ran at 900p on Xbox One look much sharper. This could be done on both the Series X and S quite easily, I would assume.
@Darth_Stofi Agreed, I'd actually like to see 30fps phased out over time as 120hz TVs become the norm, and then 120/40fps games take their place with a 60fps option too.
120/40 could be a great balance for ray tracing and a high resolution being utilised, with the 60 option being smoother but with a slight graphical hit.
I've played some 120 fps games and yeah it feels nice, but the graphical hit hasn't been worth it in the games I've seen so far.
She did not deserve to be treated like she was, but this was pretty ***** of her too. If it is all real of course, like I say I do not know this streamer or her history.
I got an OG Xbox after a price cut. I thought I'd give it a try, I had a GameCube at the time.
Xbox 360 on launch day. What a console!
PS4 launch day... Xbox One around six months later when I realised that I missed the Xbox eco system and 'feel' too much, played the hell out of Peggle 2, at the time an Xbox exclusive. Love the Peggle games. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
I quickly came round to enjoying my Xbox One more than my PS4.
I got the One S on launch day
I got the One X on launch day
I got the Series X and S on launch day
It's safe to say I only had a short holiday from Xbox. 🤣
I play PS and Nintendo too, but just exclusives.
Xbox is THE platform, for me anyway.
@Raffles I remember the shutting down article saying something like the community was too small, it was in the dark days of Xbox One before Phil started to really catch peoples eye with the turn around. It looked like they just were not getting enough ad revenue. Maybe they will comment on this.....?
I was really glad to see the return as it was a great site before the shut down and is great now.
This site was around years ago, then closed down and then reborn.
I come here every day, it's a great source for Xbox news, number one in my opinion.
Thanks to everyone at the site, keep up the good work and have a good Christmas! (But don't take any time off, I want to come here everyday and still see new content! )
@WallyWest Yeah I get you, I know you're not being a fanboy either mate.
I think you are downplaying how nice the free upgrades we have been getting on Series consoles have been though, forgetting res boosts for a moment FPS increases can be a real game changer, just like the FPS boost feature, also free.
That new high price tag is hard to swallow too, it must have lots of PS only players looking over the fence at Gamepass. I hope that the rumoured PS Gamepass is a real thing, more value and choice for everyone. Personally I will probably just stick to buying Sony first party exclusives as my main platform is Xbox, so I don't want an subscription (other than PS+, which may or may not be discontinued). I'll grab a PS5 when they do a refresh of the hardware too.
"To be fair PS3 games can't physically run on PS4 and PS5 consoles and making them able to run could cause more trouble then its worth".
Whilst I accept that the PS3 had some rather awkward and unusual architecture, it has been emulated on PC, and Sony of all companies would know the machine back to front better than anyone. If they wanted to emulate it they could have done it by now.
Also, it damn sure took a lot of time and engineering for the Xbox back compat team to get the 360 games working. I think people gloss over this too easily, a monumental effort was made by MS to achieve it, lots and lots of time & money spent. Gamers got to play many of their games for free. Sony chose the easy and revenue lead path.
"Ultimately though it never mattered as PS is still the console people want going by sales".
You hit the nail on the head right there, this is the reason why you can't put a PS3 game in your PS4/5. Sony just plain didn't/don't need to do it as they have a good lead in the market.
"I will give you the upgrade thing but its worth noting MS has never offered more then a framerate increase and 4K while Sony usually offer that plus new content or a more extensive remaster, its easy to big up MS with their upgrades but then they are so bare bones MS could never get away for charging for it".
Interesting that Sony chose the paid for path rather than free to customers path again, of course this is because they have the lead in the market and are milking it as much as possible. Perhaps a more consumer friendly model would be free res/fps upgrades to all applicable games with a paid for definitive edition.
I am not bashing Sony out of fanboyism, there's a PS4 Pro next to my Xbox Series X, but I will call them out for their money grabbing, I get that they can because of their position, but it doesn't mean that they should.
People have long memories in gaming... no one has forgotten Matrick and that was 2013. They should be careful.
Sony - How do you play a PS3 game? Oh *****, make sure youre connected to the internet and have a good connection to stream it, oh and you have to pay again to do so!
Sony - How do you upgrade your PS4 game to PS5? Get your credit card out baby!
MS actually went back on the physical media policy, lets not forget that, it was never a thing for consumers.
He just absolutely botched the Xbox One launch and destroyed a generation of hard work where they had made the Xbox brand the brand in gaming. All in the bin and still trying to recover even now.
Thank God for Phil, he steered the ship back on course very quickly, but it just takes a long time to get that mindshare back, years in and it still hasn't been achieved.
No problem, I can wait. I assume that it may be a large day one patch that is the reason, so instead of making users download a large file and then download almost the whole thing again and pissing them off I think this is a good thing.
@PhileasFragg We've been able to select a custom background for years on Xbox One (Same OS), this feature is new as it is allowing you to do it directly from Edge browser instead of a USB stick. It's just another option.
Games that ship on disc are never the final product anyway! It's just a key for the digital download. We are not in the days of the cartridge, it has been this way for years.
@BlueOcean TBH I had not read the above, still haven't. Haha.
I'd purchased a game that wasn't on my store (UK) previously and it works just fine when I'm on my region.... Just switched, RR6 does not. Very weird.
Ah well, I'll switch back to USA when I want to play. I wonder if this is just an issue with 360 games? The previous game I bought was an Xbox One game.
Most importantly, I can keep my PS4 Pro and stream PS5 games, no new console required, at least until there are enough must play exclusives for me to get one.
If their streaming is good enough I might not even get a console until it's had a couple of price cuts.
I like the OG, 360 and controller 20th anniversary ones the best.
I noticed that these new ones have an option to view the game in the store, this is a new feature and I think it's points to more game specific backgrounds being produced as promos for titles.
Also, will it eventually bring a link to buy the background before you can enable it?
I'm not against premium backgrounds, PS has had them for a long time. I just personally can't see myself buying one, but options are good.
I'd prefer more game specific backgrounds for free.
Edit:
We already have a premium background, the 20th anniversary one requiring the specific controller plugged in, so we are on the paid for path already really.
Yes! I was interested in this game and have almost purchased it on a couple of occasions, I was just waiting for a sale, now I will give it a go on Gamepass for sure.
What I find strange is that they reduced the maximum length of recording on standard storage compared to what it used to be on the Xbox One. Hoping that they bring longer options back, without th need for an external drive formated for media.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Free Xbox Series X|S Upgrade Is Now Available
Surely a 1080p 60fps performance mode would have been possible on the XSS?
With the current 1440p 30fps mode being the quality mode.
Even if the settings were the standard Xbox one game, and maybe a dynamic 1080p.
I hate it when the XSS only gets one mode. Grrrrrr
Re: PSA: Buying Elden Ring On Xbox? Check Microsoft Rewards First

Nope, gift cards/codes that you purchase do not expire.
