Star Trek Online Gets Enhanced Xbox X|S Version (And No, The MMORPG Isn't Closing Down)
Players can now enjoy the latest season, Refractions, at top performance.
Do you play Star Trek Online on Xbox Series X|S? Well, for those that do there's good news.
Cryptic Studios announced that their MMORPG is now optimized for both platforms and runs natively. Players can now enjoy the latest season Refractions at top performance. This means an FPS boost and auto HDR support, so better graphics and faster loading times.
Also, Star Trek Online supports cross-gen multiplayer so those on Xbox Series X|S can adventure with Xbox One players (and vice versa). This update is automatic too, by the way, so it’s active the moment you log in.
Before jumping in though, check out this hilarious tweet from the game’s official Twitter account about a rumor spreading saying that Star Trek Online is closing down which, despite some recent issues, it isn't:
In case you've seen this image floating around, please be advised that it is 100% not real. We're continuing to work on the technical issues that have appeared in the last two days, but STO is not going anywhere. https://t.co/lwESOk44sJ
