Booty acknowledged the additional effort required to ensure games run smoothly on the Series S, stating that optimizing games for the less powerful console necessitates “more work.” Nonetheless, he emphasized that Microsoft’s studios, especially those working on their second games for this console generation, have gained experience and are better equipped to optimize their projects for the Series S.
With this shift in focus, Microsoft demonstrates its commitment to delivering cutting-edge gaming experiences on the Xbox Series X/S and PC platforms, while still providing support for existing Xbox One titles. The decision to leave the Xbox One behind is a strategic move that allows Microsoft to fully explore the potential of its latest hardware and cater to the evolving needs of the gaming community.
