Looks like The Witcher 2 is getting enhanced for Xbox One X • Eurogamer.net

Microsoft intends to enhance more old Xbox 360 games for the new Xbox One X, and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings may well be among them.

The Deals area on the Xbox One dashboard currently advertises The Witcher series with a big picture and underneath says, “Play Witcher 2 enhanced for Xbox One X”. The art is from The Witcher 2.

Taken by me this afternoon.

There is no further detail but I’ve asked Witcher developer CD Projekt Red for more.

The Xbox dashboard deal was noticed by Reddit. It tallies with a recent tweet by Xbox marketer Albert Penello who said yes, more Xbox 360 games would be enhanced for Xbox One X soon.

Yes. More coming soon!

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was enhanced for Xbox One X at the end of 2017, adding both a mode prioritising 4K resolution at 30 frames per second, and another prioritising 60 frames per second with dynamic scaling. Digital Foundry was impressed.

The Witcher 2 was never released on PlayStation 3. It launched first on PC in May 2011, then roughly a year later on Xbox 360. It was a handsome beast then and I expect it will still turn heads in 4K now.
