Enhanced 'Rise of the Tomb Raider' shows off the power of the Xbox One X

It's looking like a centerpiece in the early Xbox One X library.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is shaping up to be a centerpiece of the young Xbox One X's library of "enhanced" games. Not surprising, given how amazing the game looks on a tricked out gaming PC.

This latest Rise trailer clarifies what "enhanced" actually means for Xbox users. Central to it is a choice between three different modes: "Native 4K," for the highest resolution; "Enriched Visuals," to turn on more graphical bells and whistles; and "High Frame Rate," which shoots for that 60 FPS sweet spot.

The post-patch game will also support things like HDR, spatial audio (via Dolby Atmos), and -- thanks to the One X's bumped-up memory -- improved texture resolution, lighting effects, and reflections in general.

Take a look at the trailer and see for yourself.
