Xbox 360 and Original Xbox Games Will Run At Native 4K Or Close On The Xbox One X

For those of you whose reasons for getting the Xbox One X include its backwards compatibility support, there is good news. Microsoft’s Albert Penello just confirmed on Twitter that some Xbox 360 games will run on the console at 4K resolution. However the original Xbox 360 should have a native 720p resolution in order to run at native 4K resolution on the Xbox One X.

Games from the original Xbox will also run at close to 4K resolution.  So if an original Xbox game runs at 480p resolution, then it will run at 1920p resolution on the Xbox One X which is close to 2160p.

What do you think about this great feature? Let us know in the comments section below and stay tuned for more news and updates. The Xbox One X will retail for $499 and is set to release on November 7^th .

Yes, if the game was originally 720p native, it will be 4K native.

They are multiples of the original resolution so we don't say "4K". If the game was 480p, then it's going to run at 1920p (vs. 2160). Close!
