Alien Isolation now runs at 60FPS. Several Assassin\u2019s Creed games are also getting some love today, with Assassin\u2019s Creed III Remastered, Assassin\u2019s Creed Rogue Remastered, The Ezio Collection, and Assassin\u2019s Creed Unity all running at 60FPS. Dang, I was hoping to see Black Flag here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other notable games include Dishonored, Dying Light, several Far Cry games, Halo Wars 2, Mad Max, and a slew of EA titles ranging from Dragon Age to Star Wars Battlefront 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of these games do have a trade-off with the increase in FPS. When you look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/majornelson.com\/fpsboost\/\">chart over at the Xbox page<\/a>, any game with a checkmark under the \u2018Off by Default on Series X\u2019 means the boost comes with a decrease in resolution. But the trade-off is more than worth it. I\u2019ll take smoothness over resolution any day. Plus, the resolution hit is negligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xbox is doing a bang-up job with their support for older titles. Games like Assassin\u2019s Creed Unity and Alien Isolation will play so much better now that they&#8217;re running at a smooth 60FPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a shame we can\u2019t get a resolution bump alongside it. Battlefield 4 at 120hz will undoubtedly play great, but that 720p resolution is a blurry mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FPS boost wasn\u2019t the only news out of Xbox today.
