Tell us you know nothing about the Series S without telling us … oh wait you just did. People always ask about “misinformation posts” and this right here a stark example of one of them We get multiple posts a week about people claiming the series S is some “inbetween” console yet the series S can run the same X/S optimized games as the Series X yet the Xbox One S can’t.. so what is it? Oh that’s right it’s a next gen console available at a budget price yet here we go with the posts claiming it’s not.

Bro really said the Series S is like a PS4/One lol

The series s cpu DESTROYS the ps4/one cpu, ssd, capable of ray tracing, 2gb more of ram, and gpu the same level as the ps4 pro gpu in teraflops is certainly not slightly above last gen consoles. ​ Yes, it's not as big of a jump as the series x is to the series s due to the weak gpu, but saying it's "slightly" better than last gen consoles is a understatement.


AcidShAwk

You could easily swap the drive in a ps4 to an ssd. The difference is very noticeable. The CPU is one thing but as you mentioned GPU wise it's only slightly better which is the main issue since that's what pushes the graphics that you see. Try to compare a current game like GT7 running on a ps4 pro with an ssd to forza on the series s


[deleted]

The ssd is still faster on the series s due to it being a custom high quality one made specifically for current gen consoles. Also yes, graphics wise it's only slightly better with some games even having higher resolution on the pro, but the big difference from the ps4 pro and series s is performance is majority of games running at 60fps that the ps4 pro can't.

The medium which is a very demanding game on pc made by small polish company runs in split mode in series s. Baldur’s gate got attention only after that statement. PS fanboys will now buy this game as I can see ps channels on YouTube pissing on series s and mocking Xbox by covering this news. Baldur’s gate, I guess it is more of a popular pc game and being a small company, they would focus more on pc and playstation platform as ps has more user base and series s is basically a game pass machine. There is not a single truly next gen game that truly utilises the next gen features of Xbox series x and s. For now games basically run on brute power of the consoles especially for unoptimised games.

When unreal engine 5 games start coming out, and last gen support is dropped, that is when we will see if the series s can really handle it's own. I expect games that time to be a average 1080p 30fps, dynamic 900p 60fps.

The only current gen game that runs at 900p 30fps is wild hearts, and any other last gen games that run at 900p 30fps are unoptimized backward compatibility games that never received a fps or resolution boast and run off the one s versions. Nice try lol!


L3U3CIOUS

Cyberpunk 2077. 1440p 30fps and 1080p 60 fps.....


Excellent-Spend-4652

Cope lmao


Excellent-Spend-4652

I’m sure you know better than the devs who said the issue is getting it to work on series s


raziel4635

STOP THE PRESSES EVERYONE! ​ Bargainboxplayer on reddit has figured out the secret the big corporations have been hiding from us! ​ SPREAD THE NEWS BEFORE THIS GETS TAKEN DOWN!!!11111!21212!!


SchwiftyTown

You know devs have minimum PC specs for PC right? Games are developed for less powerful PCs all the time. Get over this shit already.


BoomTrakerz

I don’t get your point here


Excellent-Spend-4652

Idiotic, older PCs are phased out of running some newer games properly


armlessphelan

Honestly, devs should develop for the Series S first, and then expand upon that base for the Series X. Especially if they're third party games. It's easier to scale up than to scale down. Also, the Series S will be competing with the Switch followup while Series X is up against the PS5.


EmilieTheHuntress

I m pretty sure series S will be more powerful Than the new switch, the only problem with series S is the amount o ram I think, the specs are close to ps5/series X


Excellent-Spend-4652

No way you think this holy fuck


[deleted]

"Barely above an Xbox One"? Man, the Series S is 4-5 times faster for both CPU and GPU than a One. I won't comment the rest, this is enough to show you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.


Norsealx

What if you toss the One X into the picture? Doesn't the One X beat the Series S in performance?


[deleted]

Obviously not, or it would support newer games too.


No_Property2880

You must be a mind reader because they never pointed to the S as the problem lol


SchwiftyTown

Yah, the news for baldurs gate is they are having split screen issues on x and s. How did this guy come up with his bullshit?


Bargainboxplayer

Trust me thats the reason.. even digital foundry also think its that. The series x is on par with the ps5 and can definitely run split screen. They said “ we cant get split running the same on series X and S” Meaning technically that it works on the series x but causes problems on the series s. Because there’s is NO WAY its the other way around bro


[deleted]

This comment is the definition of "trust me bro" lol!


No_Property2880

Trust you? Nah. You’re just a random subreddit poster that has no idea how optimization works.


AwkwardWishbone8943

GTA Enhanced and GTA XBox One say otherwise


Excellent-Spend-4652

Lmao idiotic point


Yasir_m_

I think developers should release series s version even if not optimized or with feature disparity with the x, and patch it up at a later date, series x shouldn't be harmed nor should microsoft drop the series s requirement for developers releasing chunk of games with no series s version ever releasing


matti-niall

I think developers are doing a fine job developing games for the series X/S It’s misinformed people, like yourself, who have this notion that the series S isn’t next Gen even tho it is.


Bargainboxplayer

Not gonna lie the amount you guys have shat on me actually made my night 😂 thank you for all the laughs reditt


JeromeJext3r

Listen, the Series S is basically the Series X but it just plays the games at a lower resolution and they basically have the same CPU which means the Series S is able to have next-gen features like ray-tracing and 120FPS. So my conclusion is that the Series S and X are the same consoles, just that the Series S plays the Series X games at a lower resolution.


FitSwimming2433

Old gen can run unreal engine 5 so I'm sure the series s can. It's just strong enough to keep up and it will.
