Xbox gamers are just realising they can grab a free upgrade for a popular 87-rated game

XBOX is known as the budget-friendly console for gamers, with a number of deals coming every month.

Following the announcement of the ten new Xbox Game Pass games coming in November, there is also a free upgrade.

From time to time a game that was previously only available for Xbox One, gets an upgrade for newer hardware.

This often comes with improvements like a higher frame rate and better resolution for the graphics.

This is what happened recently for the Hotline Miami games which now have a version for Xbox Series X|S.

The original Hotline Miami has an incredible 87-rating on review aggregate site Metacritic, and is beloved by fans.

It also has great replayability, as the enemies act differently every time you load into a level.

The blurb reads: “Hotline Miami is a high-octane action game overflowing with raw brutality, hard-boiled gunplay and skull crushing close combat. 

“Set in an alternative 1989 Miami, you will assume the role of a mysterious antihero on a murderous rampage against the shady underworld at the behest of voices on your answering machine. 

“Soon you'll find yourself struggling to get a grip of what is going on and why you are prone to these acts of violence.”

As an Xbox Series X|S version is now out, you can upgrade your games for free.

If you purchased the Hotline Miami games previously on Xbox, then you can now download the new versions, optimised for the new consoles, completely free.

Those who didn’t purchase the games before can still purchase the upgraded versions for their console.
