There is less than a month to go until the long-awaited release of Alan Wake 2 and players were undoubtedly happy with Remedy's recent announcement that the game would feature a performance mode on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series larger frames.

What about the Xbox Series S?

Remedy has now confirmed to the Game Informer portal that Alan Wake 2 will not have the option of a performance mode on the Xbox Series S, which means that it will only be possible to play the title at 30fps.

Remedy Entertainment revealed last week that a Performance Mode was coming to Alan Wake 2 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. There was no mention of this mode coming to Xbox Series S, however, and Game Informer reached out to Remedy to ask if the mode was skipping the console. Remedy confirmed to Game Informer today that there will be no Performance Mode for Alan Wake 2 on Xbox Series S.

As for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions, although they will feature a performance mode, Remedy has not confirmed whether it will run at a constant 60fps or whether it will only be the fps released with a 60fps target, claiming that "we're still fine-tuning that".

One can’t ask more out of that poor console. Just running a modern game is a bit short of a miracle.

It's going to get to the point where that thing is going to limit the scope of Xbox's first-party games as well.

It already does, thanks to the parity rule. Halo:Infinite not having split screen co-op is a prime example.
Forza Motorsport 7 not having split screen is a better example since halo infinite launched on Xbox one aswell , also the Devs said they were working on adding splitsecreen post launch but Phil Spencer actually said not that long ago that it won't be getting splitsecreen & that it was ... a creative decision not to include it 🤣🤣 ... no one called him out on that though

"We've really worked hard on getting Series S to run at a solid 30FPS and trying to maintain a good visual quality, but if you want to see the game at its best in full next-gen form then it's going to be on the machines that have the hardware to enable that."

Oooffff confirmation series S isn't really 'next-gen' 🤣🤣
