Side by Side Comparison Technical Notes
A next generation comparison for the Xbox Series consoles. We have the Xbox Series X running at a dynamic 4k resolution that is mostly keeping its quality close to a native picture which does look fantastic. Then there’s the Xbox Series S which is reaching mostly a 1300p resolution in best case scenarios.

That actually does look fairly good, though you may notice jagged lines when there’s a lot going on in combat. There’s also some dialed back foliage and other minor effects on the Xbox Series S but the picture quality in general does look really good for the smaller console. Both of these offerings target 60fps for performance and feature HDR.

The Xbox Series X does exhibit some performance drop during moments that may last up to twenty seconds at a time in certain scenarios. The Xbox Series S seems to keep its performance at a smooth 60fps the entire time through which is fantastic. Both offer 128 player lobbies with cross-play and have the same or similar draw distances.


Description/Synopsis
It’s a war for resources across the world as the two remaining core super powers of the United States and Russia face off. You’ll be battling across unique fronts to protect the interests of both nations when it comes to resources, technical advantages and important elements of the future.

It features ever thrilling specialists that everyone is totally into, and that typical traditional multiplayer combat with 128 players alongside cross-play for the platforms. It features just multiplayer through Breakthrough and Conquest alongside the portal for old school modes. Then there’s a small zone area, but no single player campaign this time around.

Hopefully the comparison was helpful in understanding the changes that are being presented between these options. It can help greatly to have a quick visual presentation that’s lined up for a faster viewing.
