[#DigitalFoundry] #AlanWake 2 #Xbox Tech Review - Excellent On Series X, But What About Series S?

[John Elden Ring]

Delayed a touch, owing to lack of review code and Xbox patches lagging behind other formats by a couple of days, we're happy to present our findings for the Xbox versions of Alan Wake 2, while also going into much more depth on what separates quality and performance modes, aside from resolution and frame-rate targets. Xbox Series code does have some bugs and issues, but in performance terms, Series X runs smoother than PS5. Meanwhile, Series S has resolution and quality cutbacks, but still seems to deliver a decent experience bearing in mind the reduced power available.

This game was the combo breaker to PS5’s performance domination this year. I wonder what happened?

That virtue signalling pretty boy Buttuglier is like, I’m not surprised the better GPU takes it, bla, bla bla bla

A whole year.

And one game with substantial performance over competition happens coming from a developer that have barely any knowledge outside PC and Xbox.

The situation is really dry.

The situation is really dry.

I think this is the first time that the series X has a performance lead without sacrificing something else (lower resolution or something like that).
