Side by Side Comparison Technical Notes
First aspect to mention, this is part of the definitive edition trilogy. This is a side by side for the two next gen consoles from Xbox. They’re both actually hitting close to their desired targets but also both exhibit some issues. From various glitches to bugs and general performance hiccups as well.

So in general you’re getting a large gap between the two when it comes to resolution in both aspects. There will be some improved visual options when going to fidelity, but since the performance is so similar that’s likely the best one to choose for that 60fps action. Keep in mind that the game isn’t massively improved since this is more remaster territory, but it does look significantly better on both.

The big differences you’ll see between consoles is when it comes to the visual sharpness of the world, as it looks much more blurred on the Xbox Series S in comparison to the Xbox Series X. It still looks visually great in terms of presenting what it’s supposed to, it’s just a bit noticeable. That’s particularly the case within the performance mode since it’s quite a gap.


Description/Synopsis
Part of the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Definitive pack San Andreas returns with some upgraded visuals. Five years ago CJ escaped the haze of Los Santos, and now he’s come home to deal with problems after the loss of his mother.

It’s a deep narrative driven journey that will find the lead dealing with all kinds of problems across the city while trying to make his own mark on the action. Enjoy an open world sandbox filled with discovery, unique moments and over the top action. It’s got many vehicles to drive around with, various weapons to use and of course trademark elements of the franchise. It’s a classic.

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.
