Moon Studio has finally shared details on how it will enhance Ori and the Will of the Wisps for next-generation (which starts tomorrow, by the way...), and it turns out we can look forward to some pretty substantial enhancements for both PC and Xbox Series S/X.
The most noticeable thing is that Ori and the Will of the Wisps supports 120 frames per second on both Xbox Series S and X. The S does this in 1080p with HDR (you can also play 4K at 60 frames per second with the S) and the X in 4K with HDR. The X also supports 6K graphics supersampled to 4K for extremely good picture quality. You can check out the full list of changes coming tomorrow below:
