Crysis Remastered may launch on July 23, runs at 4K on Xbox One X

A few weeks ago, the dormant Crysis account started teasing a new game with cryptic messages. While it was unclear if this was the long-rumored Crysis 4 or a remaster, everyone discovered the answer the next day. According to a post by EA — spotted by “lashman” — “Crysis Remastered brings new graphic features, high-quality textures, and… ray tracing solution for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and — for the very first time — Nintendo Switch.”

It’s a shame that this isn’t Crysis 4, but Crysis is an amazing game and we can’t wait to play it on Xbox One soon. According to the Microsoft Store, the game runs at 4K resolution on Xbox One X and the file size is only 7 GB. It’s unclear if the game will get a day-one patch that increases this.
