Ubisoft has today unveiled a full next-gen rundown for its upcoming titles on Xbox Series X, providing performance details in terms of resolution, frame rate and other visual/audio enhancements.
To kick things off, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Far Cry 6 and Riders Republic are all confirmed to run at 4K, 60 frames per-second on Xbox Series X, while the updated For Honor will also be getting a 60FPS boost in early December for its upcoming season.
Meanwhile, Rainbow Six Siege will providing the option to play at 4K, 120FPS as previously revealed, while Watch Dogs: Legion will reportedly run at 4K, 30FPS, but with hardware accelerated raytracing bringing "a never seen before level of realism to an urban playground."
Naturally, all of these titles will take advantage of faster loading speeds, and Immortals Fenyx Rising is also advertised as using Dolby Atmos and spatial audio technology on the next-gen system.
All of the aforementioned next-gen games leverage Smart Delivery as well, meaning if you buy the Xbox One copy now, you'll get a free upgrade to the Xbox Series X|S version whenever you decide to purchase your new console.

If only they would give an option for Legion to have 60fps I would have zero complaints with all this.
@KonstantTrouble I believe in the reddit AMA it was mentioned 1080p 60fps target performance mode with raytracing off.
What would you expect from a future first party studio?
Curious to see how these games will play on my Series S.. Keeping expectations are low at the moment
Wish we could get some videos of these running on series X considering launch is 2 weeks away as of tomorrow.
Awsome, Can't wait to play valhalla..
@Krzzystuff Honestly I don’t want it, right now Ubisoft is too big, mismanaged and messy. Maybe a more aimful studio like CDPR will be a better choice.
@Senua CDPR are partially owned by my Motherland Polska government so not sure they will be selling. There's been a lot of rumblings about another acquisition that's bigger that Zenimax being announced on Nov 9th and it being Ubisoft.
@Krzzystuff I’ve also heard about acquisition of another Polish studio so who knows!
Hope the S runs AC Valhalla at 60 FPS! Fingers crossed...
@Krzzystuff Not sure Ubisoft would be worth the price. While they do have some great franchises, many just aren't what they once were or have just become a little long in the tooth.
I'd sooner buy EA or Take Two. Having Bioshock, Borderlands and GTA, or Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Dead Space, and Battlefield would be much more exciting. Especially having Bioware. That would make MS and Xbox an RPG powerhouse. It would also be nice to have these two placed under new management since they've been pushing what's acceptable quite hard lately.
@Richnj It would be great if Microsoft could get BioWare, but I doubt they'd be able to buy EA. They are even bigger than Ubisoft. I actually wouldn't mind Microsoft buying Ubisoft, as while they are a mess right now in the management department, they have some interesting franchises and could use somebody like Microsoft to straighten them out. Just clean house with their management and get the company back on track, even if some of their games are still pretty solid (like Assassin's Creed).
I would expect their games to have the same performance on the PS5. I know they favor Xbox, which I imagine is why this discussion started, but I was curious if they put out the same info for PS5 and saw they didn't.
@Senua yeah heard those rumours fir a while...I'm pretty sure it's blooper as they had released done slides showing medium being a first party game. They are much smaller and easy enough to purchase quietly. Alarm heard a Japanese studio was acquired a while back but nothing has been announced...now as you know on not a hard core gamer or insider...new to Xbox actually.. so this is all stuff I read or watched online. I stick to the RDX crew, Randal Thor, Iron Lord's Podcast and sometimes double barrel gaming. Those are usually reliable from what I've gathered in my short time consuming consol news.
Impressive. Can't help but wonder what the ps5 comparison is? Same but with dynamic 4k? Would don't admit to that?
Are all these 60fps stats actually dynamic 4k, but XsX will sustain it better than the ps5? Much better?
Or, from reading about a buyout on 9th, is that why we haven't got an equivalent story on ps5 sites ( like we normally would in multi platform themes) ?
And if Unisoft are being bought out, would you still but WDL in disc, or wait till games pass?
I can't really imagine ms buying ubisoft. Yves and the board put up a tooth and nail fight to keep vivendi from a hostile buyout. Unless they're out of cash and desperate, i don't see Yves putting the store up for sale right now, to anyone. They did a lot of work to make it unattractive to buy out. And while Bethesda was flailing and obsidian needed cash for almost 20 years, not every company is better off being another wing of a conglomerate. Microsoft is good for gaming right now but they certainly shouldn't go "full EA" and just buy everyone all at once.
edit reread and answered one question. Surprised only legion has rt. But it also seems like "next gen" means rt or 60fps..... Le sigh
I'm pretty stoked about Valhalla and FC6 running at 4K/60. Looking forward to it!
