The Xbox Series X has an extra Cyberpunk 2077 feature that no other console does. In the game's settings section on Microsoft's most powerful console, you'll find a “Video” tab, one that is not available on other consoles, only on PC. There, you can choose between two modes: “Performance” or “Quality”. Though CD Projekt Red doesn't state the differences, going by other games that also offer this, it's fair to assume that one prioritises frame rate (60fps / unlocked) and the other focuses on resolution. Digital Foundry's technical analysis of Cyberpunk 2077 confirms as much.
This is curious because Cyberpunk 2077 is currently not “Optimised for Xbox Series X|S”. That means when you play the game on Xbox Series X, you're essentially getting the Xbox One X version — but it looks better because it has more raw power and some cool hardware tricks. The “Video” tab is not available on the Xbox One X, though this was part of the promise when these half-gen upgrades were launched. And many games (for example, Forza Horizon 4 and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order) have delivered on said promise, letting Xbox One X owners pick between performance or quality.
