But what do we consider an optimized PC game? In our opinion, a game that is optimized for the PC is one that can look great and run smoothly on a wide range of PC configurations. F1 performs extremely well on the PC platform. The game does not require a high-end PC system, and there are a few graphics settings via which you can improve performance. The only reason F1 is not higher in the list, is because it looks almost the same as F1 Obviously, Codemasters re-used a lot of assets.
So, while the game looks and runs great, it does not really bring anything new to the table. Dragon Ball Z Kakarot was a pleasant surprise. CyberConnect2 has implemented proper mouse and keyboard controls, and we did not experience any crashes or frame pacing issues.
The only downside here is that by default the game is locked at 60fps. Thankfully, though, there is a workaround via which you can unlock the framerate. Mafia Definitive Edition looks and runs great on the PC. This remake was built from the ground up, uses the Mafia 3 Engine, and runs better than Mafia 3. It also suffers from the same issues that plagued RE2R like the distant 30fps animations.
Ghostrunner runs incredibly well on the PC. Without Ray Tracing, the game can run smoothly on a variety of PC configurations. However, and even without Ray Tracing, the game looks lovely. We also did not experience any crashes or stability issues, and the game does not suffer from any mouse acceleration or smoothing issues.
First up is the game's Graphics mode, which delivers native 4K resolution at 60fps during gameplay. In this setting, you can expect razor sharp images which do not come at the expense of the game's silky smooth framerate. That said, if you've got a fancy new television with HDMI 2. We imagine this mode will be popular with simulation fanatics. Mass Effect Legendary Edition brings one of the most celebrated sci-fi trilogies of all-time to Xbox Series X in a newly remastered form, offering a number of visual and performance upgrades that will give fans all the reason they need to relive this magnificent space saga.
All three games in the collection have received enhancements across the board, including full HDR support, improved character models, new shaders, more realistic lighting and full-resolution audio.
Players have the option of selecting one of two visual modes: Favour Quality brings 60fps at 4K, while Favour Performance delivers up to fps at p. In terms of gameplay enhancements, players get a number of quality of life upgrades, with improvements across aiming and weapons balance, general input and control, sound effects, squad behavior and more. Fans will also be pleased to hear that the generally preferred version of Femshep from Mass Effect 3 is now available to select in all three titles.
While Xbox versions of the Mass Effect trilogy have been available to play via backwards compatibility for quite a while, the Mass Effect Legendary Edition provides more than enough of an upgrade to make rebuying these games a no-brainer. Arriving at the tail end of the last console generation, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time's beautiful graphics were hampered somewhat by a locked frame rate that maxed out at 30fps.
Normally, this wouldn't be much of an issue, but since the game is question is a hard-as-nails platformer that requires quite a bit of precision, it really would benefit from a jump to 60fps. Thankfully, that's exactly what's happened with the game's latest upgrade patch, which allows it to run at twice its original frame rate on Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles. Now, six months on from its release, Crash Bandicoot 4 is able to run at an incredibly smooth 60fps without sacrificing its glorious 4K resolution — and may we just say: it's about time.
The game has also received improved draw distances and an FOV field of view slider. Perhaps through some form of wizardry, developers Treyarch and Raven Software have delivered an Xbox Series X-optimized version of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War that truly feels like the 'next-gen' we were promised. Cold War on Xbox Series X simultaneously offers 60fps gameplay, ray tracing and a resolution that targets 4K, meaning you won't have to sacrifice any one thing to get an absolutely gorgeous and buttery smooth experience on console.
Additionally, the game offers a Hz refresh rate in its settings with ray tracing disabled , however, we've been unable to switch this mode on despite having access to a capable TV with variable refresh rate VRR support.
We'll update you as soon as we find a solution. One of the most beautiful Xbox titles to date, the fantastic open-world racing game Forza Horizon 4 has received a tune-up for its Xbox Series X debut. While the Xbox One X version of the game forced players to choose between resolution and frame rate, Forza Horizon 4 now gives players the best of both worlds on Series X via Smart Delivery , offering a native 4K experience at 60fps.
On top of this, Forza Horizon 4 now boasts better draw distances and higher fidelity graphics including increased shadow, reflection, and particle effects quality , similar to what you'd get on a beastly gaming PC at ultra settings. Additionally, you also get Ferrari-fast loading times and Quick Resume functionality.
As one of the biggest titles to launch alongside Xbox Series X, Assassin's Creed Valhalla feels like a true next-gen showcase. Taking full advantage of the console's power, Valhalla offers a native 4K resolution and 60fps frame rate — a first for any Assassin's Creed game on console. While ray tracing is not among the next-gen version's enhancements, the game still looks gorgeous even without the much-hyped tech.
Despite this, the two modes offer a fairly different experience. Image Quality mode is locked at 60fps and offers a dynamic 4K resolution, allowing for more realistic shadows, puddle reflections and terrain textures, larger crowds. In other words, you get settings equivalent to a high-end gaming PC. Meanwhile, the Prioritize Framerate setting allows for fps at reduced quality settings when your console is set to Hz mode. Otherwise, it will drop down to p so long as your television supports the Hz refresh rate.
On Xbox Series X, Gears 5 has received a fairly significant upgrade via Smart Delivery, with the game now displaying an equivalent experience to that of the PC version running at Ultra settings.
