Great thread.
Iâm curious if id will attempt a 120fps performance mode for Doom Eternal? They almost hit 4k60 consistently on the One X so I imagine 4k60 will be no issue unless they add ray tracing to it.
The Game Pass account made a thread on Twitter listing âEvery announced Series X game also coming to Game Passâ, somewhat confirming that games like Grounded, Battletoads and Tell Me Why would also come to Series X.
While itâs very likely that all those first party games are being optimized for the Series X some time in the future, I wonât take those tweets as confirmation, as they also list Dragon Quest XI as a Series X game which, as far as we know, is not true.
That was known, no? Because of BC, every Xbox One game is also a Series X game (day one on SX launch too, which is amazing).
Maybe itâs getting a Series X patch lol, probably not though.
As a collector, Iâm going to be interested in what games actually get physical releases. Itâs a lot harder to track than just what games are released/getting released digitally.
And of course, the big question - with the demise of generations, do the Xbox Series X games get placed on the self after the Xbox One games or mixed in with them? Ha, decisions, decisions!

The following game was added today:
- Atomic Heart
The russian developer Mundfish published today a new gameplay video confirming that Atomic Heart, the BioShock-inspired game announced back in 2018 for the Xbox One, is also coming to the Series X. The game is targeting a 2021 release and will support Ray Tracing on next-gen consoles.

The following game had its release date changed:
- Halo Infinite
343 Industries announced today that Halo Infinite, which was supposed to be the biggest launch game for the Series X this holiday, was delayed to 2021 due to âmultiple factors that have contributed to development challengesâ.
Cyberpunk needs to be updated it has a date
The Series X version of the game isnât coming at the same date as the Xbox One version, unfortunately.
The PS5 and Xbox Series X are both backwards compatible, meaning youâll be able to play Cyberpunk 2077 on next-gen consoles when they launch, but the âfull-blown next-gen versionâ is coming at a later, unspecified date.

The following game had its release date changed:
- Control: Ultimate Edition
505 Games announced today that Control: Ultimate Edition is coming to the Series X on the end of this year. While it is not known what kind of optimizations the game will have on next-gen consoles, it is known that it will not support Smart Delivery - if you have the base game on the Xbox One, you will have to purchase the Ultimate Edition to gain access to the Series X version.
The Ultimate Edition comes with every piece of DLC and retails at $39.99.

The following game was added today:
- DARQ: Complete Edition
Feardemic has announced today that DARQ: Complete Edition is coming to the Series X on December 2020. The game launched originally on PC on August 15, 2019, and will come to consoles bundled with two DLCs: The Tower, which was released back on March, 2020, and The Crypt, which is scheduled to be released later this year.
With games like Forza Horizon 4, is it not just a patch or is it actually a next gen port as a seperate product?
Thanks for this list by the way, very helpful!
It will be an update enabling the game to run in 4K/60fps with maybe some graphical improvements.
They have since confirmed that PS5 will also get the new version, possibly same dated as well. (regarding cyberpunk)
I canât even begin to imagine how long it took you to put all of this information together. Incredible. Thanks for all your hard work. This is a great reference for all of us whoâd like to keep track of whatâs coming (and when) to the Series X.

The following game was added today:
- Martha Is Dead
IGN has published an exclusive gameplay video for Martha Is Dead, a murder-mystery horror game announced last year made by LKA, the indie developers behind The Town of Light. Previously scheduled to be released only on PC, IGN confirmed to day that the game is also coming to the Series X on 2021.
Not sure if anyone saw this year
$99 bucks for a 1TB SSD is not bad at all, less than I was expecting assuming this is true
Thatâs a price I can live with, considering game install sizes should become smaller thanks to no longer requiring asset repetition. And besides, the BC games will work on the regular external HDDs, so this would only be for the new games, unlike now when all of us are clogging up TBs but it also comes from the hundreds of small indies and BC titles.
Was originally a PS5 game too. Hmmmm.
Iâm assuming this is a similar case to Death Loop, Ghost Wire: Tokyo, etc. Not a fan of this practice, but still excited for the games.
This makes me sad (if this is the case) in all honesty.
