WBIE passed along information on what Xbox One X owners can expect from Middle-earth: Shadow of War running on their new console.

As part of this update, Middle-earth: Shadow of War allows players to enjoy an immersive, true 4K and HDR (High Dynamic Range) gaming experience for Xbox One X. Once the update is downloaded, gamers can choose from two enhanced modes that Shadow of War offers for the console. The first option focuses on resolution with increased texture detail, targeting native 4K. The second option focuses on overall quality with increased draw distances, improved shadow and lighting conditions, increased vegetation, improved ambient occlusion, higher polygon counts and texture filtering improvements, all optimized for Xbox One X.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War continues to be an "Xbox Play Anywhere" title, meaning you can purchase the game for either Xbox One or Windows 10 and play it on the other platform at no additional charge.
