Is My Xbox Series S hardware defective? I'm getting low fps on games that should be 60.

definitely it's poor optimisation i think they made the game in last gen hardware whch it's so obivious i will tell you why first on series x and ps5 it runs on 1080p 60 fps which it's crazy these both console should run at least at 1440p 60 fps or 4k 60 idon't pay 500$ for console which it runs at 1080p 60 fps because iknow that series x and ps5 are so powerful

xbox one x run this game 1080p at 30 fps which it's good because it's old consloe and it's amazing that this console run 30 fps 1080p with good graphics so if the one x runs at 1080p 30fps then the series s should run 1080p 60 fps or 1440p 30 fps the architecture of this series s is way better than the one x so i think the problem is from developers

I 100% agree with your main argument that games should be delayed if they need to be. The danger with having a less powerful console like the Series S is that developers will not put as much time into getting the best out of it, with them concentrating mainly on the technically superior Series X and PS5. It's up to Microsoft to keep the 1080p 60 fps dream alive and to insist that developers use the full potential of the Series S! Indeed, if Techland need help, Microsoft's boffins should step in and do that.

This year has a lot of releases, and will define what the future for Series S will be like. I've heard that Elden Ring might get a 60 fps performance mode on Series S, but since the release of Dying Light 2, I find myself doubting what I'm told. What about Stalker 2? I'm finding it hard to imagine that game would get a 60 fps mode on Series S. We'll just have to wait and see. Anyway, thanks for your feedback, and you're right; it's up to the gamers to make their voices heard!

Hi,

Original Xbox and Xbox 360 BC for both Xbox One and Series X|S consoles has been suspended. There are no current plans to release any more older titles to these platforms.

The Series X|S consoles are fully BC with all Xbox One games (with the exception of Kinect titles) and all of the original Xbox and 360 tiles that were made BC for Xbox One. That's over 2,000 games.

The BC team are currently working on FPS boost for the Series X|S consoles. FPS boost takes certain Xbox One games that were locked at 30 or 60 fps and upping the frame rate to 60 fps (for 30 fps titles) and up to 120 fps for 60 fps games.

Xbox Cloud gaming servers were upgraded to Series X hardware some time ago, and games are streamed from those servers in 720p and 60 fps if the game supports it. Since the cloud streaming only gives 720p and 60 fps, which is less than the Series S, then you are getting a difference in graphics when using the console.

Microsoft are testing streaming in 1080p though, so hopefully, when 1080p streaming starts, there won't be much of a difference in graphics whatever you use.

Hello "ZTROOPER16"

Honestly, I would rather that the developers focus on getting Xbox One games to always be 720p @ 60fps instead of 1080p @ 60 fps.

Then, and only then should they (the developers) attempt to make a game 1080p @ 60 fps.

Please understand that I'm not against having 1080p @ 60 fps at all, its just that I'm under the impression that developers are so focused on making their game(s) run at 1080p @ 60 fps that the rest of that game(s) ends up suffering as a result of it.

Besides, I'm pretty sure that as far as consumer issues goes, gamers would be much more forgiving with a game that runs perfectly with 720p @ 60 fps as opposed to a game with 1080p & really choppy / unresponsive controls.

Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone
