Xbox Series X Normal mode has 4K post-processing, with a dynamic resolution range of 1512p to 2160p.

If you have EA Play or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is currently available to download and play as part of the Vault of games. As of May 2020, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order had reached over 10 million players. Moving ahead, all current Star Wars games are being labeled under the Lucasfilm Games brand, which could possibly indicate we’ll see Star Wars games from companies besides EA in the future.
