I got a hint of this potential playing Doom Eternal, a game that is notoriously a bit laggy. The Series S has support for up to 120 frames per second, meaning that controls can be more precise and action can be faster and smoother than ever. I saw this first hand playing Mafia 3, which is already quite visually stunning, but on the Series S adds in even more detail. This also works on older games through a clever reconstruction system which means that existing games can be given a boost. Hardware-accelerated DirectX Raytracing helps deliver some stunning visuals with amazing depth, reflections and shadows adding a lot of extra layers to an already impressive vista. Quick Resume is a great way of being able to jump in and go on your favourite games. It also has a clever trick of being able to keep a number of games active simultaneously, which means you can flick between titles and resume instantly where you left off. It reduces load times to just a brief pause, I have tested this on games like Mafia 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2, where normally you could comfortably get to the kitchen, make a cup of tea and come back while the game was still loading. Xbox’s new Xbox Velocity Architecture is a dream. In fact, its layout has pretty much been adopted as the industry standard, so it’s doing something right! Performance It’s all very familiar and that’s a good thing, because the Xbox controller in its size, shape and layout, has all been the best controller in my opinion. In-hand, I can feel some subtle differences, the most notable being the addition of textured grips and triggers, plus there’s now an 8-way D-pad, similar to that of the Elite controller.
