Xbox Series X/S gamers surprised with free game

This new-gen upgrade is now available to download

Certain Xbox Series X/S users have been surprised with a nice free game upgrade.

You may recall a title by the name of Darksiders II.

The game originally launched all the way back in 2012 on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC with a remaster then landing on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One three years later.

That version remains playable on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S via backwards compatibility, but users of those consoles were recently treated to a new-gen upgrade.

Unveiled by THQ Nordic last month, Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition is now available to nab on those aforementioned consoles.

Those who own the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game will be able to download this upgrade for free.

ICYMI: Dragon Age: The Veilguard is set to launch at the end of this month. Take a look at the game in action below.

The Deathinitive Edition has plenty of new bells and whistles including 4K resolution, ray tracing, improved loading times, and enhanced lighting and shadows.

Whilst the free upgrade was announced last month, it only became available to download yesterday, on 15 October.

Of course, if you don’t already own the game to get the free upgrade, you can purchase the Deathinitive Edition - which will set you back £23.99.

Fans seem pretty excited about this offering.

“I have NOTHING BUT ABSOLUTE RESPECT for developers that treat their games with love like this. Just tops,” wrote Reddit user CryoSage.

“Damn. Wish I picked [it] up on sale a while ago,” added atko850.

It’s nice to see developers offering these kinds of free upgrades.

I can totally understand the typical $10 upgrade paths we see and for large-scale mainstream games, it makes sense.

But so too is it nice to see mid-range games offer this kind of update as an already-included benefit.
