Shadow of the Tomb Raider is already particularly beautiful to see already in its old gen versions. Interesting and unusual the fact that these optimizations have been released without anything being communicated for a title released 3 years ago. Last year's Tomb Raider reboot is getting a re-release this month in what's being called its 'Definitive Edition. In fact, on the Microsoft store, Shadow of the Tomb Raider now says "Optimized for Xbox Series X | S", indicating that the game has received exclusive updates for the new consoles. It seems as if there was some confusion as to whether or not Shadow of the Tomb Raider would bring the Xbox One X into PC quality territory with 4K60FPS. The how and why of game updates sometimes seems like a strange bit of alchemy. a 32x32 texture is going to look like crap up close, but the 256x256 texture is going to look small and blurry from 200 yards anyway. The main benefit the high resolution has is that if you look straight at it and it fills the entire screen, you'd see the original texture.

Most textures are squares like you have linked. Good news also coming for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S users. a 4k resolution is actually pretty low res for gaming.
TOMB RAIDER DEFINITIVE EDITION PC 4K UPDATE
The update was released without any official announcement neither by the development studio nor by the publisher, as it was released completely free, which is not obvious, especially on PlayStation 5.

In silence, in Eidos they continue to work on Lara.Ĭompletely to surprise, Square Enix and Eidos have released Shadow of the Tomb Raider 2.01 update which brings the resolution to 4K and the framerate to 60fps on PlayStation 5.
