Notes

Titles which support multiplayer functionality are expected to, and MUST, work within the same console generation (that is, Series X|S must work together and consoles from the XBOX One family of devices must work together). Cross generational functionality is OPTIONAL.
By design, all ERA titles are capped at 60fps on Gen9 devices. ERA+ titles may request to go to 120hz within the manifest to increase this limit.
