Dying Light next-gen update arrives for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One X

Prior to the launch of Dying Light 2 it was announced that the first game would receive a free update to take advantage of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Earlier this month, the next-gen update arrived for PS5, and now after a period of additional testing and development, the update has also arrived for Xbox Series X|S, as well as Xbox One X. 

In an announcement yesterday afternoon, Techland confirmed that the next-gen update for Dying Light is now available as a free update on Xbox Series consoles, as well the last-gen Xbox One X. The update adds three new video modes for the Xbox Series X version, and two new video modes for the Xbox Series S and Xbox One X.

The Xbox Series X video modes are the same as the PS5, with a 1080p/60FPS performance mode, a 1440p/60FPS balanced mode and a 4K/30FPS quality mode.

The Xbox Series S and Xbox One X get a 1080p/30FPS mode and a 1440p/30FPS mode – this version also gets a new networking solution for online play.

KitGuru says: If you're looking to replay Dying Light before picking up Dying Light 2, then now seems like the time to jump in for those with a next-gen console.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
