Microsoft shared more details on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S backward compatible games today. Similar to what Microsoft has previously shared, a select list of games will have their resolution increased to 1440p and 4K on Xbox Series S and Series X respectively.
Nearly all backward compatible games also benefit from Auto HDR and 16x texture filtering. Meanwhile, some games will also have their framerates doubled. While we still don't have the full list, we now know that Fallout 4 runs at 60 FPS on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
