This is a technical analysis and breakdown of multiple options going up against one another. Here you can see the Elden Ring Xbox Series X vs Xbox Series S comparison which will provide a direct visual showcase within the video. This is then filled out with the text based information detailed further down in this article.

This is to provide easier options for viewing, and context for when wanting to find out what exactly is going on between the various selections being shown upon the video. Mostly you get a visual display, and if you’d prefer to just read what’s present you can also see that in action which is a good mix of choices.

Side by Side Comparison Technical Notes
There are actually some fairly good resolution targets for what Elden Ring aims to achieve. Definitely something it should be able to hit for either Series consoles and while it does, it’s the frame rate that suffers. It’s not quite bad all of the time and I highly suggest deploying a VRR and or Game Mode feature from your TV for an optimal time.

With that, the Xbox Series X is aiming to get a native 4k resolution experience, with performance mode being dynamic there. It looks visually impressive, but does suffer from some performance problems where it can dip into the 50fps range at times. The quality mode suffers a bit more going to around 45fps at times.

Keep in mind this is variable and I tried to present details that feel fair for what is being achieved here. When it comes the Xbox Series S the resolution is paired down but still hits an impressive 1440p. There’s dynamic resolution at play for the performance mode but it’s not much of a dip. The frame rate situation is about the same here as it is for the Xbox Series X which is quite interesting.
