While in the past Microsoft has entertained separate interpretations of generation consoles throughout the life cycle, the Xbox Series X|S is the first the firm has launched with both at the same time. One comes to the consumer as an entry-level machine optimized for streaming content and digital games with no disc drive installed. The latter is a powerhouse unit offering three times the amount of power for the dedicated playerbase.
Following release, the Xbox Series S even faced criticisms from developers like Remedy Entertainment (Control) having to use additional resources in developing specifically for the weaker hardware. However, the Xbox Series S in multiple regions have proven to be a successful decision on behalf of Xbox. Even in Japan in some instances overtook the PlayStation 5 due to sheer availability.
Where the console shines, it does not with its performance – as expected. But in a recent Microsoft Game Dev video, it reveals GDK for the Xbox Series S will be expecting more memory as well which could offer improved performance for games running on the machine. You can watch the segment of the video below:
“More memory for games: in the June GDK, additional memory is available for Xbox Series S consoles. Hundreds of additional megabytes of memory are now available to Xbox Series S developers. This gives developers more control over memory, which can improve graphics performance in memory-constrained conditions,” it is revealed in the video.
That is not all underway for Xbox Series S. Elsewhere previously, it was revealed Microsoft is working on a patent for the disc-less console to enable a support for an external disc drive to read physical copies and install the license directly to the system.
