is this the definitive version?
The xbox one's xbox emulator enhances the graphics but is this even better then that?

This is better than that because this has mods. Mods that can fix gameplay issues and bugs such as this: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1258-kotor-1-community-patch/, add content, improve visuals etc.

From what I've seen, the XBone version increases the draw distance a tad (barely noticable since most of the game areas are compact) and unlocks widescreen resolutions. Widescreen resolutions can also be unlocked in this version quite easily with a bit of tinkering. There are plenty of guides on it.

So the question you need to ask yourself is, "Do I even PC, bro?"

I have this game on PC but after reading all the problems PC gamers have found on this game with glitches, lost saves, etc., I am thinking of getting the Xbox version. I bought an Xbox One X early this year and acc. to this video, the resolution is higher on the Xbox One X at 4K than on PC(which apparently can't be modified to that resolution). There are also fewer glitches and lost saves on Xbox compared to PC.

Any crashes, glitches or lost saves on PC? Did you have to tweak your PC copy?

Acc. to the video, the highest resolution available on PC is 1600 x 1200 and there seems to be no controller option. Is that true for you?

On my PC copy without mods the highest resolution I could set it at seems to be at 1280 x 1024 widescreen(16:9) again with no gamepad option.

I prefer using Xbox gamepads for games like these. At least KOTOR 2 has native controller support on steam. KOTOR 1 doesn't. It is one of the reasons I am thinking of getting an Xbox copy for my Xbox One X.

Finally decided to get the Xbox One X version and am playing it now in 4K with my controller which is my preferred peripheral for this kind of game and which is not supported in the PC version.

It looks really great in 4K resolution(with appropriately scaled larger HUD menus and subtitles compared to the tiny ones found on PC at higher resolutions) at 60 fps with 16x anisotropic filtering, on the Xbox One X and so far I haven't encountered any major crashes and glitches which I was worried about on PC. No need to find solutions or patches to make the game playable.

The only drawbacks I have seen so far is the 4:3 aspect ratio on the Xbox One X instead of the 16:9 ratio found on PC as well as the lack of mods particularly the added Yavin Station section, but the upgraded 4K resolution and the trouble free aspect of playing the game more than made up for it in my opinion.

Really fun game and couldn't imagine how I missed playing this game all this time.

KOTOR 2 though is definitely better on the PC especially with the update adding controller support and the availability of mods that added files that were cut by the developers during the release of the original game.

Xbox just added Yavin station free for the Xbox One version as an update today. It is now identical to the PC version in terms of content while being enhanced on the Xbox One X console to 4k resolution with improved framerates and antialiasing and decreased download times.
