Side by Side Comparison Technical Notes
This is one of the more straight forward comparisons between the two platforms as it largely comes down to just a resolution difference between the Xbox Series consoles. With the Xbox Series X it’s a dynamic 4k resolution hovering around 1800p whereas the Xbox Series S is a dynamic 1080p.

Both are performing at 60fps and hitting that for the most part. There may be a dip here or there, but it’s not necessarily common. Both options also have HDR support. So in general here it really just comes down to the resolution which does add quite a bit of depth and detail to the higher end console. That being said the detailed backdrop and geometry all seems to be the same.

You might skip an extra half second load for a far back object on Xbox Series S or a sign may take a second to fully load a texture for there but it’s not too noticeable if you’re playing and not comparing the two against one another. Oh, and the zombie breaking and dismembering tech is incredible while being intact across either offering.


Description/Synopsis
Head down to Los Angeles where the latest zombie apocalypse has taken place. It’s been a long road but you can finally explore some of the iconic locations of this area while bashing various zombies to bits. Explore places you might know while trying to keep alive alone or in a group of three survivors.

It won’t be an easy journey where you’ll need to gather others to take on the various zombies and figure out what exactly is going on behind the scenes since the mystery itself is rather intriguing too. Blast, stab and destroy the many creatures that are awaiting your journey to this once magical place of fame and fortune.
