"So far only played Watch Dogs and Gears, they look CRAZY good. So much detail and the lighting/atmospheric effects are immersive asf. "
"I can't comment about specific game performance yet, but as soon as I can (
November 5th) I will be sharing my impressions fully. If Microsoft's promises in the run up to launch are accurate, these titles will all be able to hit 60fps on the
Series S at higher resolution. "
"Just timed it, three times in a row. Including entering my pass key it takes just under 7 seconds from pushing the button on the controller to bringing up the home screen. As a comparison, my
XBOX ONE X takes about 14 seconds. "
"Not yet, nope. My current TV can only run 4K/60 or 1080/120. The optimised games are working great at 4K/60. "
"Not that I can tell yet. None of the optimised games I have access too right now have ray tracing at this resolution. "
So it is upscaling to 4k/60 correct?
"
I'm not allowed to say until after the 5th unfortunately, embargo restricts specific/detailed comments about performance. Sorry man, but I will do my best to test out anything you want to know and then update when I can. "
Have download sizes actually been reduced for the S?
"Compared to the
Series X? Yup, they're a bit smaller. Seems about 25-30% less."
Will I be able to fit 4 AAA games?
"I currently have six installed with about 140GB space left, so yes!"
"I think 512GB with the option of expanded storage is more than enough. Main reason I'd want more was if I downloaded a lot of ultra high res content to watch offline. But I don't need more than six big games on the go at once. The only stick in the mud will be COD, which I might just run off an external drive anyway. "
"Yeah, I'm thinking I might do the same thing for COD, it's such a storage hog. I've now got about 90GB of usable storage, just installed DOOM Eternal. As well as that:
Madden 21, Valhalla, Yakuza, Dirt 5 and Gears 5"
"I'm not allowed to say specifically until after November 5th, BUT: I currently have Watch Dogs, Valhalla, Yakuza, Dirty 5 and Gears 5 all installed with comfortable room for at least one more AAA title. Call of Duty is the real issue and I may have to store it on an external drive. "
"I can't say unfortunately, I promise I will let you know exactly when I'm allowed. All I can say right now is that it's enough for me to currently have five AAA titles installed with room for more. "
Can we have a look of the cold boot?
"I've recorded one, but I'm not allowed to share it until November 5th. It's at least half the time of my
XBOX One X though."
