22 Games Are Currently Listed as Optimized for Xbox Series X
With the launch of Xbox Series X, Xbox has launched their Optimized for Xbox program. This is a program that allows developers to make an already released title to be rereleased or a brand new title to brag about taking full advantage of the hardware in the Xbox Series X. Each game that is part of the program will have a badge. According to Xbox, this will signify greatness to some degree:
When you hear a game has been Optimized for Xbox Series X, you’ll know that the developer has either natively designed or fully rebuilt their game to take full advantage of the unique capabilities of our most powerful console ever.
Games featuring the Optimized for Xbox Series X badge can showcase anything from virtually eliminating load times via the Xbox Velocity Architecture, heightened visuals and hardware-accelerated DirectX raytracing powered by our custom, next generation GPU, to steadier and often higher framerates up to 120fps.
Each game will vary in what it takes advantage of on the Xbox Series X, so results may vary from game to game. However, it is great that developers will be able to make new games feel new. Now, at the time of writing, Xbox has announced 22 titles that will be Optimized for Xbox. This list is expected to grow in the coming months until the Xbox Series X launches this holiday season.
