Microsoft has been highlighting the power of the Xbox Series X for months. However, it has been difficult to verify since the console was released on November 10th. The games available on Xbox Series X and PS5 actually show slight advantages for the Sony console to the amazement of gamers. An unfortunate situation for some buyers, but one that needs to be corrected quickly and has a clear origin: time!
A late-coming Xbox Series X certification
Indeed, it is the weather that today seems to have originated many comparisons for the benefit of the Ps5. Sure, some rare titles will do better than others, particularly when it comes to managing ray tracing, but in many cases games will run “better” on Sony’s computer. And for good reason, the Xbox Series X Development Kit update arrived at the studios … last June! That means 5 months before the release of the new generation console, although the competition’s had been shipped long before that. A delay that is taken into account due to the extremely modern architecture of the console.
With a desire to fully support RDNA2, Microsoft had to be patient while AMD finalized certain items. Some Xbox Series X features are not fully integrated and some tools are still under development. All of this also makes it difficult for developers to take responsibility for support in as limited a time as the one that separated them from the launch window.
This confirms Tom Warren who could talk to some of them. Therefore, some people point out changes to basic elements (such as changing the user profile) or the receipt of insufficiently clear documentation. In short, adjustments that take time over and over again to offer optimizations that are tailored to the architecture of the console.
Games should flourish on Xbox Series X in the coming weeks
In fact, the developers are working on a lot of patches. Codemasters are working to improve the rendering of DIRT 5, as is Ubisoft, which intends to solve the problems with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. And for that you can rely on Microsoft.
We are aware of performance issues with a handful for Xbox Series X | S Optimized title consciously and actively work with our partners to identify and resolve problems to ensure the best experience possible.
At the dawn of a new generation of consoles, our partners are only scratching the surface of the capabilities of the next generation consoles, and minor bug fixes are expected as they learn how to take full advantage of our new platform. -form. We look forward to working with developers in the future to enhance the capabilities of the Xbox Series X | S to explore further.
A context that explains a lot of things. But now it will be necessary to prove all of this. The patches should already improve the gaming experience for everyone, while future Xbox Game Studios titles will be responsible for uncovering the true potential of the Xbox franchise. We have to wait for the next trailer … Maybe at the Game Awards?
But if the aesthetics of the games is going to be important, we first and foremost want them to be good. Hopefully internal development has brought up some real gameplay ideas and exciting storylines. Hopefully, beyond the graphics and the pixel, the developers will focus on the experience that will set us apart. The main stake could well be there in the end.
