Related: Xbox One: Best RPG Games Of The GenerationĪ tweet from Xbox News has given fans a glimpse at just what this generation's best might look like on next-gen consoles, and it's exciting. Given the barren nature of both next-gen consoles' launch lineups, it's an important question, too, as many early adopters will be left playing through old favorites rather than any games that truly take advantage of next-gen tech the way a Halo: Infinite might have.

Xbox Series X in particular is designed to be every bit the powerhouse that Sony's standard edition PS5 is described as, and consumers have been eager to see how the new Xbox Series X tech plays with older games. While much has been made about the PS5 SSD that's meant to be a game-changer for next-gen game design and development, the Xbox Series X boasts a similarly powerful piece of hardware that will also represent a major leap forward in loading times. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a massive open-world RPG that features detail in every corner of its environment, an traditionally that has meant the game takes a well-deserved several seconds to load into a new location once fast travel has been selected. A new demonstration of the power of the Xbox Series X shows off The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's loading speeds, and its fast travel mechanic is now so fast that the game can't even put the screen up before Geralt arrives at his destination.
