Digital Foundry : This is how Xbox Series S backwards compatibility really works

[Resist]

Microsoft continues to be the king of services and backward compatibility.

This is way better than I expected. I hope they do the frame rate bump for One X games too, I’d defo go back and replay a fair few of them.

Xbox One Free Back Compat, 4k, widescreen

Not to shit on Nintendo, but seeing what Xbox offers here puts anything else to shame.

There’s every reason to shit on Nintendo though, don’t refrain.

If I had a dollar for every “So the Series S is not even as powerful as Xbox One X?!?!?!?” concern post I’ve read online over the past few weeks, I’d have enough for a Series S preorder.

I’m sure there will be just as much hubbub over this good news though.

And those same poeple would often talk about how “tflops don’t mean everything” when confronted with the differece in power between the two consoles.

This is great news for people opting for the XSS.

Combined with gamepass this is an amazing value specially with the All Access program.
