Which X360 multiplayer titles are still supported/ populated?

ThriceNightly · 11 Oct 2020 at 14:53

I was regularly playing World of Tanks on X360 however Wargaming withdrew support on the X360 in July

Am currently getting good multiplayer variety of servers on Battlefield3 BF3

I prefer BF3 over BF4 .....there are still BF4 servers but not as many as BF3. I think BF3 has had a boost in popularity since mentioned earlier in year of a possible re-release for Series X/ PS5

Appreciate many gamers have moved onto new consoles and newer games but can any current X360 gamers recommend multiplayer games which are still reasonably well supported/populated.

I could be wrong but I'd imagine the Halo games are the most likely. You not fancy getting a cheap X1 console and expanding the online games available? You can get the original system very cheap these days

I’m hoping there’s still life in the Mass Effect 3 servers when I get Xbox again. I’ve been playing on PS3 and there were surprisingly plenty of players but the frame rate is utter gash. With SeriesX it should be solid as a rock even if it’s stick at 720p.

Bf bad company 2 has loads of players on 360.

Good to hear. Might get a few more when EA Play becomes part of Game Pass.

Thanks will check out Halo.

Not really a a fan of the sbox one s controller plus would need to purchase a stand up base....will be natural upgrade route once x360 packs up/ no longer supported

All 360 games get upscaled on the series x.

Not looked for a while but understandably so, Left 4 Dead has always had player available.

Upscale isn’t much to get excited about. Enhanced on the other hand... but Xbox haven’t said whether any more games will get Heutchy-ized.

You mentioned 720p. They will all internally render at a much higher resolution.

How can they when they're fundamentally 720p titles?

I have no idea how they do it, but Microsoft have published information on the resolution increases, frame rate increases, auto HDR, etc. for games running on their BC framework.

Let me go back a minute, are you saying that every 360 game will now get "Xbox Series X" enhanced to 4K on XSX and 1440p on XSS? I thought it was only the same games that already have Xbox One X enhancements.

e.g. Splinter Cell, Viva Pinata, Gears 2 but NOT games like Mass Effect 3, Prince of Persia (2008), etc.

PVZ Garden Warfare still gets busy with the Gardens and Graveyards mode.
