Xbox One X backward compatibility revives Xbox 360 classics in glorious 4K

Xbox One X can make old gems shine once again, with some impressive enhancements to select Xbox 360 games.

Back when the Xbox One X was first unveiled, Microsoft detailed an extensive list of "Xbox One X Enhanced" games – titles manually reworked with dedicated patches, to take advantage of the console's additional resources. Improved resolutions, increased framerates and reworked textures are among the most common enhancements made with the hardware, boosting Xbox One games beyond their original visual capabilities.

Shortly ahead of the Xbox One X release, Microsoft also made a somewhat unexpected announcement: select Xbox 360 titles would see specific enhancements for the new console. Halo 3, Fallout 3 and Mirror's Edge were among the seven titles being manually upgraded at launch, with resolution bumps and other visual upgrades among the changes.
