Digital Foundry – Injustice 2 gets even better on Xbox One X

The arrival of Xbox One X in stores means that many publishers and studios have upgraded their games to the powerful Microsoft console. Injustice 2, the acclaimed fighting game from Warner Bros. Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios, which hit stores in May, was one of the updated games and Digital Foundry put it under the magnifying glass to talk about the improvements.

In May, Digital Foundry told us about the status of Injustice 2 on the different consoles: 900p on Xbox One, 1080p on PS4, and 1440p on Pro. Now, it’s time to look at the Xbox One X update that arrives right away with the benefit of including HDR. This technology was also available on the other compatible consoles.

On Xbox One X, Injustice 2 gets a new resolution improvement: it runs at 2880×1620 at all times (a 26% increase in resolution over the Pro’s 2560×1440). Although the metrics do not suggest it, the improvement in image quality on X is greater when we see the game running. The jump and improvement is even more impressive when you put it side by side with the base Xbox One version.

All the improvements added to the PS4 Pro are here. The quality of the shadows is the same, as is the quality of the samples used by motion blur. However, the quality of the textures is much better in some scenarios, where you also find higher quality assets. Environmental occlusion also reveals small differences, difficult to notice, which represent small variations in the tone of some points in the scenarios.

In terms of performance, you will find perfect 60fps and it will be very rare to find screen-tearing, only on a few occasions between scenarios. The only difference between Pro and X is in the cutscenes. The Sony console runs the cutscenes at 1620p, the same resolution used on the X, and immediately changes to 1440p when the gameplay begins. On X, the game runs at 1620p.

Injustice 2 is another good update for Xbox One X and the arrival of HDR is the big highlight. NetherRealm Studios delivers an excellent job, which maintains the idea presented by other games, the more power the console has, the higher the resolution.
