[Lort]

Why no crossplay with steam ugg

But still good.

 

[LeftThumbstick]

Series S upgraded to 720P 20fps.

 

[wolffy71]

Series S upgraded to 720P 20fps.

Lol for ark that would be a drastic improvement

 

[Goncas2]

It's actually starting to look like a current-gen game!
The aliasing and pop-in are still terrible, though.

 

[OsirisBlack]

That looks really good

Ark Series S/X enhancements:

• the game runs

 

[Craig of War]

This game is so unoptimized it runs in 240p on the Switch getting it to run in 4k is a marvel on it own already.

 

[Spukc]

Hahaha do NOT fucking buy this game.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

Where is the RT patch?

 

[THE DUCK]

Game still looks bad for 4K game.........

 

[Inviusx]

"30-60fps at 4k"

So, 60fps when staring at the ground and maybe 30fps everywhere else. This is the Ark experience.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Neat! As an Xbox fan, I find myself starving for info on what my future games will look like. It's exciting to see what my machine will be able to do. I have never tried Ark, but it doesn't seem like my kind of game.

 

[Rambone]

This is good news for Ark fans on the Xbox.

 

[BigLee74]

List looks impressive, except for the 30-60 fps bit!

 

[GeorgioCostanzaX]

Is it wrong of me to be excited about BC upgrades and performance enhancements than any launch titles? Like first thing I want to do is load up my Dead Rising 3 saves and go to an especially chuggy area.

 

[Frito_Pendejo]

Hahaha do NOT fucking buy this game.

Why? I've owned It since it was in beta and have put a shit load of hours into it. I mean, different strokes for different folks. I've more than got my money's worth from it.

hmm hopefully amd freesync makes the 30-60fps experience less awful.

(the hdmi 2.1 vrr range is 40-120 fps, but the series x also supports amd freesync with lfc when paired with a tv that supports amd freesync premium like the lg cX and it's range is 30fps-120fps)

 

[mrqs]

Hahaha do NOT fucking buy this game.

It's free on GamePass.

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

I would drop some Settings a bit down and lock it to 60fps.
