Releases Update | February 5, 2021
The following Series X|S game was released today:
Crash Bandicoot 4 is getting a Series X|S update. Itās free for those who already own it on Xbox One.
Damn, it still looks bad? Iāve only played the GP version on XSX, which is basically the One X version and I already wasnāt that impressed with the overall visuals. Aliasing, just didnāt seem as crisp as it could be. I wonder why and surprised even the XSX and PS5 versions donāt look significantly better, if Iām reading what you said right.
Besides from graphics I think QB is the overall better game. I havenāt finished Control so I canāt say for certain, but the fact that it didnāt grab me as QB, which I played from start to finish in a week or so, is telling. I really donāt get the hype with Control. But that happens a lot to me lately. People seem to just randomly like something and everyone follows. Quantum Break on the other hand was such a fantastic game but no one seemed to care 
The hype for Control was real, crazy even. I havenāt finished the game yet, but judging on what Iāve played and seen in video reviews I just donāt get it.
I agree. I played and beat it around release. It was fine, I didnāt get the hype and still donāt. Then again, I tend to find just about all Remedyās games to be more hype than actual substance. Even Alan Wake, and that I would consider the best thing theyāve done.

The following Series X|S game was released today:
Still waiting for some word about a patch for Control Ultimate on Series X itās crashing all the time, I want to keep playing and get it over with after waiting past the exclusivity crap then the next gen wait. Itās like it doesnāt want me to play it.
Iāve played for around 6-7 hours and the game has crashed on me only once (which is also not ideal, tbh). Iām on an Alpha Skip-Ahead OS build, but I donāt know if that matters.
Also on Alpha-Skip, I didnāt run into any issues until I got to the Ritual Division now its happening far more often and its usually triggered by some kind of background streaming like doors leading to new zones or elevators, but I have run into mid combat crashes when using telekinesis all of this with RT on I donāt want to play it without RT thatās the whole point I waited lol.
Ritual Division is mission 4, right? I stopped playing right after I beat this mission ā and it was the only mission that crashed on me (the consoleās light even flashed while closing the game). Iām also playing with RT on.
The last time I played was on February 4, though, and Iāve noticed many crash reports in the last few days.
Not sure exactly what mission but yeah itās also not isolated to that area I had it dashboard in the mail room during a rescue event, crash on fast travel, crash on the elevator to the sewage area (where the clog is the first time) never the same spot twice though.
Releases Update | February 12, 2021
The following Series X|S games were released today:
I found the lore in-game to really be the most compelling part. Itās basically SCP the videogame.
I contacted a guy who works at Microsoft and is directly involved with the Xbox Games Store asking him about why some Gen9Aware games receive the āOptimizedā stamp (like We Happy Few) while others donāt (like The Division 2).
He said he would take a look at it, and two days later The Division 2 is now being shown as a proper Series X|S title.
I believe this is the first time we see both Series X|S and One X logos in the same game. Games like Forza Horizon 4 lost the āOne X Enhancedā logo after becoming Optimized for the Series X|S.
The Division 2 is still missing a Smart Delivery tag, though.
Ray tracing on Series S? Thatād be awesome.
The beginning of the yearās drought is finally coming to an end: March is PACKED with games.
Free patches for Crash 4 and Samurai Shodown, new games from sport franchises like RBI Baseball and Tennis World Tour, the releases of Balan Wonderworld and It Takes Two, plus some indies and AA games!
They are targeting 1080p 60FPS with Ray Tracing for Series S
