Ubisoft Sets Black Flag Resynced Xbox Specs at 4K/60FPS on Series X, 1620p/30 on Series S

Summary

  • Series X gets three display modes in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: 2160p upscaled at 30FPS, 40FPS, or 60FPS, with balanced and fidelity modes using extended ray tracing.
  • Series S runs at 1620p upscaled and 30FPS with standard ray tracing, which Ubisoft says handles global illumination for diffuse lighting rather than reflective surfaces.
  • Extended ray tracing on Series X adds reflective-surface lighting support, marking the main visual step-up between the Xbox modes as the July 9 launch nears.
  • Ubisoft has not yet shown Xbox gameplay footage, though it is expected around next week's reviews after the company earlier detailed similar 4K, 30-60FPS options for PS5 and PS5 Pro.
