[Update] From the looks of it, Xbox Series X|S players will only be able to play the next-gen version of Marvel's Avengers in a single graphics mode. As e-mailed to players, separate performance and 4K modes won't be available on Microsoft's consoles. In addition, it seems that there won't be support for spatial audio on the Xbox Series X|S.

　　[Original story] Crystal Dynamics and Eidos-Montréal have detailed the upcoming next-gen PS5 version of Marvel’s Avengers.

　　We already knew that the title would offer improved framerates, visuals, and loading times on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, but we now have additional details on the upcoming PS5 next-gen version of the game. Whereas only the PS5 improvements were shared, most of these features will also be available on Xbox Series X.

　　On the next-gen consoles, Marvel’s Avengers will offer 2 display modes, including a performance mode that runs the game at 60FPS in checkerboard 4K. In “4K” mode, the game will render in native 4K. A specific framerate hasn’t been provided for this mode just yet.

　　On PS5, the game will benefit from even faster loading times due to the use of the next-gen SSD. This will likely also apply to the Xbox Series X|S versions of the game.

　　In addition to higher resolution textures across the next-gen consoles, the PS5/XSX versions will offer “improved heroics and armor destruction”, stochastic Screen-Space Reflections, Contact-Aware Sharpening, Higher-Resolution Translucency, Improved Ambient Occlusion, and Improved Anisotropic Texturing.

　　As previously revealed, the PS5 version of the game will also support Haptic Feedback through the DualSense controller. Spatial audio is also supported on Sony’s next-gen console, and it seems likely that this will also be the case on Microsoft’s consoles.

　　The next-gen version of Marvel’s Avengers arrives on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 18th. Those who already purchased the game on last-gen consoles will be able to receive the next-gen upgrade free of charge.

　　The game was released for the last-gen consoles, PC, and Stadia back in August of last year. Check out the next-gen story trailer that was released last week down below:

　　Featuring upgraded visuals and framerate, haptic feedback for each hero, significantly faster load times, improved destruction and Heroic detail, Marvel's Avengers on Next-Gen consoles is a redefined adventure. Available March 18, 2021!
