Ori and the Will of the Wisps will render at 6k resolution on Xbox Series X, according to the game's director. 

Thomas Mahler, game director at Moon Studios for Ori and the Will of the Wisps, discussed the game on a ResetEra thread in response to a post about what is the most impressive next-gen footage has been shown so far. 

Someone responded to Mahler’s post, saying that The Touryst, developed by Shin’en Multimedia, will also render at 6k resolution on the Series X. The Moon Studios developer responded to this, also saying that the image quality you get this way is “obscene”, with HDR and filters on top.

Xbox Series X is said to have variable rate shading, a way in which developers will be able to have greater control over the rendering of individual pixels that make up an image. It’s a tool that will enable the next-gen games to take the visual leap, in a way that uses the console’s components in a more efficient way.

Xbox Series X is just a week away from launching worldwide on November 10.
