Xbox Series X and PS5 – 12 Big Ways They Will Change Games

HDR Reconstruction

One of the key marketing points if the Xbox Series X is having all of your games playable on one platform, reaching back across generations. But what if there was a way to make those games look better? Using an HDR reconstruction technique, Microsoft has figured out how to add HDR to older titles that never supported it, like Halo 5: Guardians and Fusion Frenzy. Even more impressive is that the technique is used at the platform level and thus doesn’t require any additional work. The company also has plans to double the frame rates for older game games, whether it’s going from 30 FPS to 60 FPS or 60 FPS to 120 FPS. This could lead to a resurgence of interest in older titles, especially if they’re on Game Pass.
