And since Kotaku doesn’t have a crystal ball, it’s limited to games that already exist or will exist in the reasonable future (broadly 2021).
This roundup is by no means comprehensive. To that end, here are all of the major last-gen games with next-gen versions out or en route. More often than not, the upgrade is free, but some developers will make you pay a premium. Of course, it’s all a case by case basis. (The less expensive Xbox Series S can run games at 60fps but tops out at 1800p in terms of resolution.) The PS5’s DualSense controller also boasts an impressive suite of haptics, which next-gen versions often take advantage of. When a game is “enhanced” or “upgrade” or “optimised” for the PS5 and Xbox Series X, there’s a general benchmark: framerates hiked up to 60 frames per second and resolutions jacked up to 4K. The process is a bit more confusing on PS5, where it’s possible to accidentally download the PlayStation 4 version of a game, provided it’s available across generations.
All three of Ubisoft’s recent mega-games support Smart Delivery. Many first-party Microsoft games - including Forza Horizon 4, Gears 5, and Sea of Thieves - support it, and some major publishers, like Ubisoft, appear to be all in, too. The catch is that it’s contingent on developer participation. Short explanation: If you own a game on Xbox, you’ll get the best-performing version for your console. Xbox players certainly have the easiest go of the whole situation, thanks to Microsoft’s “Smart Delivery” program. Which games are available across generations? And what exactly do the snazzier, sometimes pricier versions offer that those on last-gen tech do not? And given that getting your hands on a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series whatever remains damn near impossible, this is a boon all around.īut three months into the next generation, the state of cross-gen games is still mired in somewhat of a foggy situation. Many games are landing on both last-gen and next-gen hardware. Console gaming is at a crossroads, finding itself in the centre of that transitory phase between console generations.
