As time continues to tick closer and closer to the inevitable release for the Xbox Series X, Microsoft earlier today has done yet another info drop regarding the hardware specifications alongside the newly implemented features that will be unique to the newest generation for the Xbox family.

This now being the second installment of details provided from the console giant, make sure you’re already caught up already from the first instance by heading here.

Upon some of the meatier details that were picked off this news-ridden bone, one detail that should be noted for Xbox users who plan to continue utilizing backwards compatibility are in for a treat. Atop of supporting now three generations of gaming via the emulated support (Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One), there is an additional element that will be implemented for the feature.

Microsoft revealed that titles from previous generations when processed through backwards compatibility will be converted to support HDR functionality, even without prior implementation on the initially released hardware. You can read the full statement below:

With Xbox Series X, existing Xbox games, including recent titles within the ID@Xbox program, that don’t already have native HDR support will get the next-gen treatment. Xbox Series X is able to leverage an innovative HDR reconstruction technique to enhance existing SDR games with no work from developers and no impact to available CPU, GPU or memory resources.

So your favorite games from either platform prior will now be visually enhanced by default when playing on Xbox Series X. Microsoft goes into details to disclose that the new technology will be able to convert the respected property to support visually tangible HDR without jeopardizing the experience or costing extra work power from the hardware at all.

This means that neither the framerate-based performance will drop nor will the resolution on the screen to expect a decrease in pixel count. Microsoft explains that this new implemented feature also does not require developers to delve back into the game’s code to support HDR as the hardware itself does the work for you. Already seeing this support implemented with X Enhanced titles for the Xbox One X, this however, is on another level.

Xbox Series X is slated to arrive sometime later on in holiday 2020.
