It’s admittedly been states numerous times from a variety of sources sincethis year’s Microsoft E3 presentationthatall of the Xbox One video games gaining 4K visuals later this yearwould be getting these via free updates but a surprisingly large number of gamers still seem unsure about the jump from 1080p to 4K and the (non-existent) price involved.

Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg replied to a worried user on Twitter today and confirmed once again that yes, these 4K updates would indeed be free. “Any title you own that adds a 4K update will be done for free,” his tweet reads.

Yes any title you own that adds a 4K update will be done for free.

Naturally, to properly experience these improved 4K graphics, gamers will need to purchase the upcomingXbox One X consoleand a compatible 4K television set but as far as the games go, if you’ve already bought them they won’t cost you any more money.
