The rest are playable on next generation consoles via backwards compatibility; they do not have versions native to the next generation consoles.

Xbox
Visit the game's page on the Microsoft Store. If the game has an "Optimised for Series X|S" label, it is an Xbox Series X|S game (or an Xbox One game with an Xbox Series X|S specific version). If it does not have this label, it is an Xbox One game.

Additionally, if the game has a "Smart Delivery" label, the game has both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S versions, which the user is entitled to both, and the appropriate version for their console is automatically downloaded for them.

PlayStation
Visit the game's page on the PlayStation Store. If the game has a "PS5" label, it is a PlayStation 5 game. If the game has a "PS4" label, it is a PlayStation 4 game.

Additionally, if the game has both labels, the game has both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions. However, this does not necessarily mean that the player is entitled to both versions. It is up to the developer to implement an upgrade path, be in free or paid, limited-time or not.
