With the Xbox Series S set out to tbe the budget-friendly version of the Xbox Series X, it’s understandable that the Series X is more powerful in terms of raw power than the Series S, though it seems there is one advantage the Series S has over the Series X and that’s with loading times.
In an interview, Xbox boss Phil Spencer made this revelation when he mentioned that some games load faster on his Xbox Series S than his Series X because the console is loading lower-res graphics! There’s no word on which titles this applies to, or whether this will be the case for every Series S game. That said, at least there’s one thing the less powerful console has over its big brother.
In the same interview, Spencer mentioned that the blockbuster Microsoft-Bethesda deal wasn’t made to take game away from gamers.
The Xbox Series X|S are both set for release this November 10.
Of course and the 60% of RAM compared to series x will make that a thing too. But then you have to also agree that series s is going to ruin and hold back just about EVERY 3rd party game going forward. This applies to next gen games starting development now, in 2022 and 2025.
Thank goodness Microsoft bought Bethesda to ensure/enforce that Xbox can’t be avoided or left behind by, well at least, 6 more studios now, when they don’t want to be forced to work on the garbage series s.
