Things you never knew your Xbox Series X could do

From a hardware perspective, there is no question that the Xbox Series X is an impressive console. While this new generation may not be marked as a leap in graphics quality as we have seen in the previous generation, the Xbox Series X but has several features and capabilities that make it feel like the next generation machine. If you have just opened the Xbox Series X wrap during the holidays, here are some impressive things that you might not know.

Increase framerates in longer games

Rear compatibility has become Microsoft’s main focus since about half of the previous generation. That the Xbox Series X can play the Xbox One game along with several Xbox 360 titles and OG Xbox should not be surprising. However, what might be surprising is that the Xbox Series X can use its graphics increase to run longer games in a higher framerate through a feature called FPS Boost.

FPS Boost is available in certain games from the Xbox 360 and Xbox One library. In most cases, FPS Boost will carry games up to 60 frames per second when played on the Xbox Series X, but some will run up to 120 frames per second. While FPS Boost is turned on by default for many games that support these features, some games must be run at a decrease resolution to press the 60fps sign. In these cases, FPS Boost will not be turned on by default, but you can see how to turn it on the video embedded above.

You can also see a complete list of games that support FPS encouragement by checking Nelson’s main blog. He keeps a list of Boost FPS games that are updated there, so you can quickly know which title is longer that supports the feature. FPS Boost is a big reason for visiting classic games that might have been stuck at 30 frames per second on the release, but be warned: After you are used to playing at 60fps, it’s hard to return.

It can make the game longer look better

Besides FPS Boost, the Xbox Series X offers a feature called Auto HDR. While many Xbox Series X Games will support HDR, HDR automatically allows you to implement visual improvements to longer and compatible titles that do not support HDR when launched. Like FPS Boost, only a few choices of titles are compatible with HDR automatic support, although a comprehensive list of games that support it is more difficult to find.

You can check to see if the game game supports HDR automatically by opening the “Manage game” settings for any title in your Xbox Library and then selecting “compatibility options.” You will need a TV that supports HDR10 to use HDR automatically, and, as well as FPS Boost, most games that support automatic HDR will activate features automatically.

While automatic HDR will not increase the graph in the game that is compatible with the backward you are playing, it will make them look better, with deeper black colors and more vibrant colors like other HDR media. This is a nice touch that raises compatible compatible games, so if you have a TV that supports HDR10, make sure to play with HDR automatically turned on when you plunge into your classic game collection.

Use Dolby’s vision to take one step further

HDR standards are a good addition that helps the game look better, but if you have a TV that supports Dolby Vision, you must know that the Xbox Series X supports it too. Microsoft launched the official Dolby Vision support for the Xbox Series X console | Unfortunately, but unfortunately, not every game will support the feature. Microsoft said that, in all, around 100 games supported Dolby’s vision, even though the number would only increase in the future.
