Today it became known that on the boxes with games for the next generation console from Microsoft will appear icon “Optimized for Xbox Series X“. The Xbox team plans to flag them all projects that take advantage of the new hardware.
What are the benefits? Head of Xbox Global Portfolio Damon Baker claims that developers can use them however they want.
“Higher resolutions, crazy frame rates, ray tracing and, of course, faster game loading speeds,” Baker tells The Verge.
The company explained that the number of frames in new projects can reach 120, although Microsoft itself considers the standard 60fps.
60fps will be the standard output, but the architecture allows us to support up to 120fps.
