    Being given wrong information doesn't mean you are being lied to, it could be a genuine mistake and somethingthe person genuinely believes.  As you haven't even tried to update it yet you are crying before you are hurt. 
    Why do so many people automatically think they are being lied to as the default position?

    Yeah looks like this game isnt upgradeable. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/XboxSeriesX/comments/pz8qv6/hot_wheels_unleashed_no_xbox_one_xbox_series_xs/

    You're probably better not trying it and just returning it unopened under their return policy.

    OP says they’ve already opened it to check it, 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
  • There is no "upgrade" option.  The disc you got is both the One and SeriesX/S version.

    There is no Series X version.  There is an Xbox version.

    I suspect the graphics will vary based on the machine it is used in.

    Regardless, you've opened it now and bought in person so you're going to have to show it doesn't do what you were told it will.
