On Xbox Series X, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will run at 60 FPS in full 4K resolution which is a big achievement for a $499 consoles. The same goes for Watch Dogs: Legion that will also benefit from the Hardware Accelerated Raytracing of the new Xbox Series X and S.
Both titles will leverage the consoles’ power by offering higher resolution textures, improved shadow quality to players along with clutter density on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Both games will take advantage of Direct Storage benefitting from faster loading times and a smoother world transversal experience along with the Smart Deliver technology which means that players will only need to buy the game once on Xbox One or Xbox Series range of consoles and get the other version of the game for free.
