How To Tell If You’re Playing The Next-Gen Version Of An Xbox Game

Method One: The Obvious Way
Look at your games library. Any that are optimized for the new consoles should have a small “X|S” stamp on the lower-left corner of the game icon. Can’t miss it.

Method Two: The Organized Way
You can also filter your games library so it only shows you your next-gen optimized games. Here’s how:
Press the Xbox button.
Go to “My Games and Apps.” (You might also just see this icon on your Xbox dashboard.)
Under the “Games tab,” flick over to “Filter.” In the top row, it’s the third icon from the right, with a symbol that looks somewhat like one of the funnels you used in high school chemistry.
Click on it, and scroll down to “all console types.”
Switch that to “Optimized for Xbox Series X|S games.” You should see this happen:

Method Three: The Cool Way
Back in 2012, Kotaku reported that the codename for the then-unannounced Xbox 360 successor was straight out of a John Wayne film: “Durango.” That machine, of course, turned out to be the Xbox One. Before the Xbox Series X and S were announced, Microsoft referred to its next-gen offerings by another codename: “Scarlett.” I’m not just taking you for a leisurely stroll down memory lane. These terms can serve a practical purpose—to a point.

In your Xbox’s game library, hover over a game you’re curious about. Hit the menu button (the button formerly known as “Start”). Scroll down to “file info.” That should pull up an inscrutable string of letters of numbers. But look closely, and, on the third line, you’ll spot one of those two codenames.
