Xbox adds 70 backwards compatible titles with Auto HDR and FPS Boost

Today during Xbox's 20th anniversary stream, Microsoft announced 70 new games entering the Backwards Compatibility program. These new games will even be further improved on the new Xbox Series consoles, thanks to features like Auto HDR and FPS Boost, which are now spreading to even more backwards compatible titles. 

Some of the biggest additions to the Xbox backwards compatible library include the full Max Payne and F.E.A.R. franchises, the Skate games, and original Xbox classics like Star Wars: Jedi Knight II and Dead or Alive Ultimate.

In total, 11 games are getting FPS Boost today, which doubles frame rates in those titles from 30FPS to 60FPS. Titles getting this upgrade include the likes of G.E.A.R., Binary Domain and Nier. Titles already in the backwards compatibility program, like Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Dead Space, Alan Wake and Sonic Generations are also getting FPS Boost today.

Many of these games will also benefit from Auto HDR, bringing a nice visual uplift for modern TVs and monitors. The full list of Backwards Compatible titles and their support for features like Auto HDR and FPS Boost, can be found HERE.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
