Samurai Shodown Director Hayato Konya shared more details in a special video message:
Samurai Shodown on the Xbox Series X/S will support 120FPS gameplay. It’s also worth noting that Smart Delivery is enabled for Samurai Shodown, so if you’ve purchased the game for the Xbox One, then that means you already have the updated version that will be headed to the Xbox Series X/S. All of your DLC and save data will be transferrable from Xbox One to Xbox Series X/S version as well.
