Microsoft announced the Xbox One Backward Compatible version of four Xbox 360 Valve games have been enhanced for owners of the Xbox One. The four games are Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, The Orange Box, and Portal: Still Alive.
"Xbox 360 games enhanced for Xbox One X run at a higher resolution and 9X the original pixel count," reads the blog post. "The power of Xbox One X enables the Xbox 360 emulator to showcase the very best version possible with the existing assets—all without touching the game code. Today’s additions join the 17 previously released enhanced Xbox 360 titles like Red Dead Redemption and Skate 3 for a total of 21 Xbox One X Enhanced Xbox 360 games.

Thats pretty awesome. Id still play the Steam version, but i am happy for those who csn play these masterpieces in 4k and looking amazing. L4D2 via BC on X1 is the uncut version and thats worth a play through in itself.
Nice, I would like to revisit the L4D games in 4K. Even on a 1080p screen its gonna look so much better.
"to showcase the very best version possible with the existing assets"
Nah.
But I'm very happy a new audience will be able to experience these games.
Half-Life 2 is an absolute must play, if you own an Xbox One, go and play it.
Don't wait: install it now and get going.
Same with the other titles, but yeah, HL2 is a good place to start.
By best version, I think they meant X1X is the best way to experience the 360 version. Hence, "best version with existing assets." Its a confusing sentence.
