Upgrade your gaming experience

Occasionally, a game that was previously only available for Xbox One receives an upgrade for newer hardware. This upgrade often includes improvements such as a higher frame rate and better graphics resolution.

Recently, this happened for the Hotline Miami games, which now have a version specifically designed for Xbox Series X|S.

An 87-rated gem

The original Hotline Miami game has an impressive 87-rating on the popular review aggregate site, Metacritic, and is beloved by fans. It offers great replayability as the enemies act differently each time you load into a level.

The game's description 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 on what is going on and why you are prone to these acts of violence."

Upgrade your games for free

If you previously purchased the Hotline Miami games on Xbox, you can now download the new versions optimized for the Xbox Series X|S consoles completely free of charge.

Even if you didn't purchase the games before, you can still buy the upgraded versions for your console.
