Bethesda previously revealed that several of its games would be receiving Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro enhancements. Today, Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition join the ranks of 4K Bethesda games.

In a blog post a couple weeks ago, Bethesda detailed how its most recent releases like Fallout 4, Skyrim Special Edition, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, The Evil Within 2, Dishonored 2 and Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and The Elder Scrolls Online would all receive enhancements for the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro.

While these enhancements aren't the same across all the games, most titles will be receiving 4K Resolution and other graphical updates. You can see the full list of Xbox One X enhanced games below, along with their planned updates.
