When New Super Lucky's Tale first arrived on the Nintendo Switch last November, one of its 'cons', according to our sister site, Nintendo Life, was the performance and how it could be a "little stuttery" from time to time.
"Although the game looks gorgeous, its performance isn’t perfect: it hits a steady 30 frames per second for the most part but there are dips here and there."
Thankfully, this shouldn't be a problem for Microsoft's enhanced console, Xbox One X. According to the official New Super Lucky's Tale Twitter account, the game will run at 4K and 60fps on this particular system. Here's a look at this silky smooth frame rate in a one-minute Xbox One X video demonstration:
In a reply to a fan on Twitter, this same account confirmed the game would be capped at 30fps on the Xbox One S and original Xbox One model (just like the Switch release).
And if you're curious to know what the differences are between this and Super Lucky's Tale, here's a summary from Playful Studios:
"It's essentially a remake. New levels, redesigned old levels, DLC added to the main story, full 360 camera, new control rig, music, story, and just about everything else. We spent 18 months developing it after the launch of SLT."
There's no mention of a release date aside from "this summer," but alongside this most recent update, Playful said it wasn't ready just yet. Stay tuned for more details about this soon.
Until then, tell us if you'll be trying out this new version of Super Lucky's Tale when it arrives on Xbox One below.

Is this going to be an update or a new game?
Already have it for the switch, Great game..
@Tharsman It's a new game.
"We rebuilt it from the ground up, and much as we'd like to give it to people who purchased SLT, we can't do it and remain profitable. "
@FraserG thanks. I don’t own the game, but been looking at it on amazon. Will hold off then. Hope this gets a physical release, else I’ll just grab the switch copy (coz, I love plastic 🙃)
Seems a very cute little game, I'm tempted to buy it!
@StrangeBit The original game (Super Lucky's Tale) is included with Xbox Game Pass, but this new one with the "full 360 camera" makes it loads better, in my opinion - so it might be worth the wait.
They are making me buy the game again :/ that fox is too cute >.<
So people that bought the original SLT were basically beta testers that financed the actual, complete version and they don’t even get the game! That’s pretty messed up in my opinion.
@OtterX
That's one way to put it, yes, but it's also available on Game Pass.
I still need to play this game. Is this a “Redux” of the original game?
@mousieone I agree but I don't like that Lucky runs like a human being in the remake.
@BlueOcean you run with him ?!? I spend most of the time dirt “swimming” with him
@mousieone That's fun but he's so cute when running like a real fox. Controls are really smooth in this game.
@Grot I agree! It has a great soundtrack, humour, charming graphics and it also has very good controls and infinite potential if they made a sequel with more open worlds and being able to swim.
@Grot the hype for Hat in Time is crazy. I’d don’t have much experience with other versions but the Switch one is atrocious. Super Luckys Tale got my money instead.
@BlueOcean Luckys is cute that way.
