Xbox Fans Praise Series X Upgrades for One of the Best Xbox 360 Games

The Xbox 360 has been the top-selling Xbox console so far, and it’s unlikely that this will change in the future. There are several factors contributing to its success, with a vast library of games being one of the primary reasons. This extensive library is considered one of the best in gaming history, although a significant part of it is becoming harder to access. However, a good portion of these Xbox 360 games can be played on the new Xbox Series X, and not only that, but the Series X enhances these classic titles significantly.

Currently, one of the highly-acclaimed posts on the Xbox Game Pass subreddit is about the praise for “Dead Space 2” on the Xbox Series X. For those unaware, playing “Dead Space 2” on Xbox Series X offers several upgrades such as Frame Rate Per Second (FPS) boost, enabling the horror game to run at a smoother 60 FPS instead of the original’s 30 FPS. Alongside this, the auto High Dynamic Range (HDR) and anisotropic filtering give “Dead Space 2” on Xbox Series X a remastered feel compared to its Xbox 360 predecessor.

“You Can’t Go Wrong”

The Reddit post suggests giving Dead Space 2 a try on Series X|S via backwards compatibility. Whether you’ve experienced the remake or are considering revisiting it since its days on Xbox 360, this game is definitely worth playing as the Dead Space series has significantly improved with these updates.

Indeed, on its own, this post may not seem particularly remarkable. However, at present, it’s among the most popular posts on the r/XboxGamePass subreddit. The comments there generally share a similar viewpoint.

One comment says, ‘I conquered it a week ago! It runs smoothly on the Series X,’ while another praises it, stating, ‘I completed it on my Series X last year. It’s still impressive, and the gameplay remains smooth'” or

“The first comment reads, ‘I overcame it last week! It performs wonderfully on the Series X.’ The second post agrees, saying, ‘It’s an outstanding game, I finished it on my Series X last year. It’s still worth playing, as the gameplay remains smooth’

Dead Space 2 Remake

2023 saw Electronic Arts (EA) launching a revamped version of the initial game in the Dead Space series, titled Dead Space. While this reimagined version was generally praised, it didn’t achieve remarkable sales figures. Speculations emerged about a potential Dead Space 2 Remake, but these were later put to rest due to the lower-than-expected performance of the first remake. EA has since dismissed such rumors, and there’s no official word on a second installment in the series. Given that developer Motive Studios is currently engaged in creating an Iron Man game, it seems unlikely that we’ll see a Dead Space 2 Remake anytime soon. If you were waiting for a remake to revisit Dead Space 2, it might be time to give up on that hope and explore the game on Xbox Series X instead. As always, your thoughts are welcome! Are you intrigued by the prospect of a Dead Space 2 Remake?
