Xbox Series S

Despite being a next-gen system, a new analysis indicates that the Xbox Series S will be unable to play Xbox One X enhanced games.

Itā€™s already known that the console, while next-gen, is not able to produce native 4K resolutions, and will instead upscale games and streaming playback to that resolution. Whereas currently, the Xbox One X is capable of using its hardware to run games at full 4K resolutions.

As picked up by Video Games Chronicles, the suggestion that the Xbox Series S will be unable to draw upon the Xbox One X comes from a Digital Foundry reaction video to the console. According to the analysts, the reason is because the console has less RAM than the current-gen system and it seems unlikely that it will be able to run some games at the same performance as the current console due to that.

ā€œIf youā€™re playing an Xbox One game [on the Xbox Series S], itā€™s not going to be the Xbox One X version of the game,ā€ John Linneman at Digital Foundry stated. ā€œYouā€™re not going to get the 360 4K backwards compatibility or things like that.ā€

Richard Leadbetter from Digital Foundry also weighed in about the issue. ā€œIā€™m not sure thatā€™s been officially confirmed but basically if you think it through rationally, thereā€™s no other way it can be done.

ā€œThe Xbox One X has 9GB of system memory available to titles. The Series S has 8 [and] Iā€™ve seen some reports that itā€™s actually 7.5GB. Regardless, with either configuration, itā€™s still lower than the Xbox One X, so I think itā€™s almost a forgone conclusion that the backwards compatibility will be drawing upon Xbox One S as opposed to Xbox One X.ā€

Despite this, it was also stated that games on the Xbox Series S should have better performance than the Xbox One S versions due to other improvements in the hardware.







The Xbox Series S was originally leaked earlier this week which prompted Microsoft to fully announced the console. It’s set to launch on November 10 alongside the Xbox Series X, the more powerful next-gen model.
