This is quite amazing really. The choice of games to launch it with are questionable, but the stuff they're doing to fool the game to believe it's running at 60fps or higher is very clever. I wonder if Sony can do the same through their backwards compatibility environment? It's especially cool that they'll soon provide the ability to toggle the settings on or off when you launch a game, so that Auto HDR and the FPS Boost can be disabled if it isn't quite to the taste of the player. It goes to show how much effort has been put into the Xbox backward compatibility engine.
Watching the Digital Foundry YouTube video about it was interesting as well because they broke things down quite a bit. Fallout 4 was also shown in the DF video as a game that they tested at 60fps but it's not in the first batch of games so that will hopefully come next. And if they can do that with games just through the backward compatibility engine, then games like RDR2 and GTA5 might get the same treatment even if Rockstar are working on something themselves to try and charge for it. Microsoft are showing that they want to provide value to us gamers with things like this, Game Pass and smart delivery. It's a good time to own an Xbox Series X!
