" We chose this initial collection of titles not only because they are popular among fans, but to highlight several different ways that FPS Boost can improve your experience. For example, New Super Lucky’s Tale can now run up to 120 frames per second (fps) and UFC 4 delivers improved framerate performance specifically on Xbox Series S and can now run at 60fps."
In the article they show a menu where you can disable it on a game by game basis. Today you can only do this on a global level. In most games Auto HDR works fine, but i had some where it looked wrong like in Divinity II. So this will come in handy.
This is amazing. I’m not that hyped about these particular games, but I’m hyped about this feature and look forward to enjoy even more titles once I hopefully get series x. Keep up the good work Microsoft!
