Stalker 2 Dev Corrects '25FPS' Comment, Says Game Is Running Much Better On Xbox Series S

Well at least he has tried to cover his a**.

I hope it runs well on the S because I’m much more interested in this than CoD.

Oh wow... 35 FPS. Amazing! Yet another game I'll be playing on PC. I had hope at the beginning of this generation of consoles that 30 FPS would be a thing of the past. The hardware is capable, but developers insist on pumping the visuals, and don't properly optimize the games.

@Tyrant_T103 that’s for the S for the X they said their is a 60 option.

Whatever the truth is, we'll see soon enough! I wish more developers shared their progress regularly, but I also see why they don't.

I think.the series s is a better option than playing nothing but 30 fps isn't good anymore I can't ever go back to it

@Tyrant_T103 Wow I can't believe your PC will outperform a $300 or less Series S, what an achievement.

Unfortunately, I won't be around for it as my GP subscription has finally ran out (and no way am I extending full price). This was one of the games that I would like to checkout, but probably wouldn't stick with it till the end.

On the subject of subscription, is it me or did MS at some point turn auto renewal back on for me (I disabled it manually again on the last day)?

@Jenkinss It's not about the fact that it outperforms it, it's the fact that it can't produce a decent framerate. Even the Series X has to destroy the visuals to hold 60.

@StylesT No need to be so defensive. If you're OK with it, more power to you.

The good news is that this generation should be the end of lousy framerates. The next generation of consoles will have much better upscaling as well as frame generation tech.

@Tyrant_T103 That’s for the S, and people knew going in the S was lower power and wouldn’t give the same experience as the X would.

You spend less money, you get what you paid for I guess!

@Tyrant_T103 - it doesn’t sound like the Series X ‘destroys’ the visuals - check out the recent Digital Foundry coverage, they were well impressed with how the game is looking (and running) on Series X (Gamescom build).

@Tyrant_T103 Take a look on at Digital Foundrys latest test on the PS5 version of Black Myth:Wukong if you want to see bad performance results.
"excellent visuals, to many tech problems"
They Summed up performance.
"Two modes which seen from a visual smoothness perspective are extremely poor, and then a 3rd mode that's visually smooth for the most part But has input latency and visual quality concerns" .

@Tyrant_T103 a steady 30fps for the cost of a series S is remarkable. I've paid more for a power supply than I paid for the Series S I bought for my bedroom.

Smells like damage control 😂

@Cikajovazmaj Why would you extend GPU at full price ? You can buy Full Digital games and 'Subscriptions' far cheaper from 3rd party, Microsoft Don't lock you to their Digital store like Sony do.

@Rog-X I have no idea why you would go back to this comment almost a month later, except maybe because you didn't agree with my assessment of the Xbox Tokyo Show quality.
Either way, there are no more exceptional conversion rates, or far cheaper 3rd party options. Maybe if I was willing to region hop.
But, it's just not worth it for me. And I FULLY believe there are people who play 40+ games a year, and they will get their moneys worth, as GP will provide decent quality with Netflix convenience.
I've played through like 4-5 games, 2 of which were Trek to Yomi (7$ at the time I played it) and Hellblade 2 (which is a 5 hour game). Many games I tried out, and did not stick with. I could have done the same thing through YouTube for free. So yeah, at current 3rd party and conversion rates it doesn't make sense for me.

Edit: Number 3 was Psychonauts 2. That was a fun game, I'm actually sad I don't own now 😃
