Update: Dying Light now has a new-gen upgrade for all Xbox players over Series X and S consoles.

As was the case with the PS5 upgrade for the original Dying Light, Xbox Series X players have three gameplay modes, including a balanced mode, performance mode, and quality mode. As for the Xbox Series S version of Dying Light, players will be able to choose between two modes: Performance mode for 1080p resolution at 30FPS, or quality mode with quad high definition and 30FPS.
