![]() ![]() ![]() As I just noted above, I tested the 6K/60Hz mode but also ran the 4K/120Hz performance mode on a TV maxing out at 60Hz, so I cannot attest to how it fares when pushed in performance mode.īeyond that, Ori and the Will of the Wisps remains an incredible action-platformer. In the first four hours, I didn't see a single, momentary hitch. Its animation is silky smooth at 60 frames per second. Not only are those issues gone now, but the game now sets a high bar for technical performance. When it first launched, Will of the Wisps suffered from some technical setbacks, including stutters and screen tearing due to inconsistent frame rates. Speaking of which, let's talk about performance. If you want to wring the absolute best visuals out of the Series X-or if, like me, you do not have a TV or monitor capable of rendering 4K and HDR at 120fps-6K is a nice little high-fidelity nudge. Will of the Wisps still looks incredible in 4K it's colorful, vibrant, and sharp. If you stop and look around, though, you'll appreciate what you see. These are small enough differences that you probably won't notice them during an intense platforming challenge. Environmental elements like flowers hanging off walls and thorny spikes stick out more sharply against the background. In anecdotal, eyeball-based terms, the colorful forests of Ori's opening hours look better in the 6K mode. Ori and the Will of the Wisps on Xbox Series X The thing you need to know is, when using 6K mode in Will of the Wisps, you aren't actually playing in 6K, but what you are playing does get a nice visual boost over the standard 4K setting. You know how a screenshot gets blurry when you make it ten times larger? It's kind of like the opposite of that… But happening in real-time because it's a video game and not a static image. Supersampling, for anyone perplexed by the idea of playing an Xbox One-era game in 6K, processes an image at a higher resolution, then compresses it down to your TV or monitor's resolution. Regardless of your settings, Will of the Wisps also benefits from enhanced load times and improved audio fidelity. On the Series X, you can choose to play the game in 4K with HDR at a performance-focused 120fps, or goose the graphics in a supersampled 6K resolution, running at 60fps with HDR. On the Series S, you get to choose between 1080p with HDR at 120fps, or an upscaled 4K at 60fps. In the next generation, Ori sheds its graphical hangups and becomes more impressive for it.īoth consoles have frame rate-prioritizing "performance" and visually minded "fidelity" modes, but neither one feels like a compromise. It's a huge comeback for a game that was initially subject to wonky technical issues. The optimized version of the game hits an ultra-smooth 60-120 frames per second on both next-gen consoles at varying resolutions. Eight months after its initial release, Ori and the Will of the Wisps received some impressive technical upgrades on the Xbox Series X and Series S. ![]()
