Pixel art is most usually associated with low-resolution, retro anesthetics. However, the term "high definition" /"high-resolution"-pixel art refers to pixel art created at higher resolutions, where the individual pixels are smaller and less discernible. Which allows for more detailed and intricate pixel art designs. This is more and more seen in games, such as Eastward, Dead Cells or Backbone. Examples of low red pixel art would be Stardew Valley, Pokémon or Rain World.
Though games can incorporate both methods. Such had high res backgrounds and low res features and characters.
