Microsoft confirms 4 more games being optimised for Xbox Series X

Microsoft has announced four more first-party games that will be optimised for Xbox Series X.

Xbox One titles Sea of Thieves, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Forza Horizon 4 and Gears Tactics will all look and play better on the company’s next-gen console.

Forza Horizon 4 will offer higher fidelity graphics and faster performance, in 4K Ultra HD at 60 frames per second, with reduced loading times and quick resume.

So too will Gears Tactics, the turn-based strategy game coming to Xbox consoles later this year.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps will offer 120 FPS in 4K HDR and 120hz.

Sea of Thieves will also be optimised for Xbox Series X in time for the console’s launch, although Microsoft wasn’t specific about the improvements coming to Rare’s pirate game.

Microsoft previously confirmed that Gears 5 has been upgraded for Xbox Series X to offer reduced load times and 4K HDR visuals, among other features.
