We can learn quite a few things from the listing. Firstly, the title is Xbox One X Enhaned and appears to be running at 4K resolution on the system. It should look phenomenal on a 4K display. Secondly, the file size is around 30 GB so it'll be quite a hefty download. Lastly, the release date right now appears to be February 18, so in a few weeks, but that might just be a placeholder. We'll keep you posted as soon as we know more.
