007 First Light: 60fps on Series X, 30fps on Series S

Digital Foundry's analysis shows 007 First Light on Xbox Series X supports 60fps or 30fps, while Series S is fixed at 30fps to maintain parity, reflecting IO Interactive's scalability-first approach; achieving 60fps on high-end consoles relies on Glacier Engine techniques like async compute and a frame graph with CPU offloading, and the same scaling strategy will extend to lower-end PCs and Switch 2, including software-based ray tracing and new lighting tech.

Crimson Desert Exposes the Xbox Series X vs Series S Performance Gap

Crimson Desert Exposes the Xbox Series X vs Series S Performance Gap

Digital Foundry finds Crimson Desert on Xbox Series X largely playable and closer to PS5 with three modes (Quality 1080p/30, Balanced 1280p/40, Performance 1080p/60) and a new 4K output via FSR 3 that sharpens visuals at the cost of ~45–55fps. Series S is a drastic downgrade—720p/40fps in performance mode with no ray tracing and noticeably high input latency—making it hard to recommend as a home console experience. CPU-heavy areas still cause dips and occasional tearing on Series X, and the article notes the potential for Switch 2 DLSS-like upscaling to outpace Series S, underscoring a clear console performance gap between the two Xbox systems.

One-Box All-Star: YouTuber Fuses Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series S into a Single Rig

A YouTuber builds an all-in-one rig called the Ningtendo PXbox 5 that lets you switch between Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series S with a button press; the Switch 2 slides into the side of the unit and is ejected with a red button. While visually impressive and quick to switch between consoles, the setup raises concerns about cooling, ventilation, and long‑term safety, making it more of a clever novelty than a practical solution.
