Alan Wake 2 Developer Faces Challenges Optimizing for Xbox Series S
-
Remedy says getting Alan Wake 2 running well on Xbox Series S is challenging due to its weaker GPU and less memory compared to Xbox Series X.
-
Xbox boss Phil Spencer insists games launch across Series X and S, but S's limitations are an "intensifying headache" for developers.
-
Some developers say Series S held back production on their first next-gen game, but expect improvements with their second game.
-
Spencer defends Series S as an important entry-level price point, so Xbox won't let games release only on Series X anytime soon.
-
For Alan Wake 2 specifically, Series S may never be capable of the performance Remedy wants, compared to PS5 and Series X.
