Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have announced the enhancements coming for Rise of the Tomb Raider on Xbox One X. There will be three visual modes to chose from mixing up texture and overall resolution and general effect quality settings.

Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics are planning some enhancements for Rise of the Tomb Raider, Xbox One X edition. The enhancements will include "premiere graphics and other technical enhancements" and, of course, show off the "full power of Xbox One X".

Even though the trailer puts the words such as "enhanced" and "increased" right next to Lara's lady bits, those were not explicitly mentioned in the press release. Instead, get ready for some intense foliage action as those ancient temples deserve to be reclaimed by nature in the highest of definitions.

  • Enriched Visuals "for stunning graphic upgrades"
  • High Frame Rate "for the smoothest possible gameplay"
