Digital Foundry tests Microsoft’s weak console, can it handle the latest games? – Multiplayer.it

Digital Foundry Performed New tests on Xbox One, Many more years after Microsoft’s weak console – to understand whether fans are allowed to play modern games. As always, he also shared an exclusive video, which you can see below.

Xbox One (Beware of the difference, not the One S) was released in 2013 and officially supports the latest games like Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077 and Battlefield 2042, which struggle to maintain adequate performance even on platforms like the PS5 and Xbox Series X. .

According to Digital Foundry, the original Xbox One can be delivered in practice Two types of results: Some games are all good, with some minor limitations, others are greatly affected by the limited power of the console and do not achieve their performance goals.

For example, with Forza Horizon 5 and Grid Legends There are some issues, but even at high speeds both driving games maintain good frame-rate. Clarity and FPS are not on par with the latest Microsoft consoles, but you can not complain.

However, there are games included Legal ratio With regular glitches, this is very rare even in scenes where there is not much demand. Examples are Cyberpunk 2077, Call of Duty Vanguard, Battlefield 2042, Elton Ring and Tales of Rice.

It is clear that judgments were given after the deities were done perfectly Comparisons with the Xbox One S, Which can count on 7.1% more power. The most recent console can propose between two and four frames in the example reported with the Tales of Rice. On the other hand, games like Elton Ring and Cyberbunk 2077 did not show significant improvements. In short, if a game supports dynamic resolution, the frame rate will be the same between the two consoles.

For Uploads, The Xbox One is on average much slower and the Xbox One S can upgrade up to 35% of the time (Forza Horizon 5). However, there are titles with minor variations, such as The Ascent going from 162.7 seconds to 160.0 seconds or Cyberpunk going from 50.0 seconds to 49.2 seconds. However, in this case, according to Digital Foundry, the console used as a test can also be part of the difference as it has been used on its shoulders for many years.

This is indicated later, with Switch to cross-gen games, Primarily designed for the PS5 and Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One is in a difficult situation. For example, Call of Duty Vanguard performs worse than Call of Duty Modern Warfare on the Xbox One, but there are still games in a year. Battlefield 2042 offers worse performance than Battlefield 5. The Xbox One may now have become a “second-class citizen” and developers are less likely to upgrade games for such hardware, especially considering that it sells less than its PS4 competitor.

Finally, Digital Foundry says that the best solution for Xbox One players is to choose the Xbox Series S, which is not expensive and allows you to play a wide range of cross-gen games without maximum quality.
