Emphasis on the Xbox Series X’s capability for 120fps is also made with DiRT 5 being one such game that will support this framerate.

Racing fans know frame rate is king and DIRT 5 will deliver on this. Players will experience the strongest sense of speed and responsiveness at the highest frame rate. It’s such a great, smooth experience – I hadn’t experienced another racer like it.”
A list of confirmed Optimized for Xbox Series X titles has also been released. They are as follows:
