It was revealed yesterday that upcoming Xbox Series launch title The Falconeer would run at up to 120 frames per-second even on the lesser-powered Xbox Series S, and the game's developer Tomas Sala has been speaking more about the next-gen console's "powerful" capabilities in an interview with Unity.
Asked about anything particularly cool that has stood out about developing for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, Sala highlighted the latter as a "significant piece of hardware."
"One of the big surprises for me is just how powerful the Series S is, it’s such a significant piece of hardware in a small form factor. This is a powerful piece of next gen hardware."
"You’ll have a very similar experience between the Series S and the Series X."
This was echoed by the head of marketing at publisher Wired Productions yesterday too, describing the Xbox Series S as "an incredible piece of hardware that has amazed us during development."
It sounds like you're going to get a fantastic experience regardless of which next-gen console you play The Falconeer on, then, which brings its single-player, open-world air combat to Xbox and PC beginning November 10th.

@Medic_Alert right. Yeah I’d love to see some comparisons. I mean if it is the tiny titan they are claiming it to be
Now, if all developers took this kind of effort to optimize their games to look and run as well as this(allegedly), we'd be set.
@PhhhCough Except they didn’t as much as Gears 5 devs had done with some really incredible graphics features.
Looking forward to more of the series S/X comparisons! This doesn’t seem like a graphical intensive game, but those resolutions and frame rates are quite impressive. I typically love flying games so I’m excited to try this one out!
Now I know how PlayStation fans feel with a lack of info. I want to see games for the S/X running on the hardware and not 'running on a PC representative of target performance' like with Scorn. All they've shown so far is backwards compatibility. Still getting an S though.
Said it once and i'll say it again, I would buy the Series S if only it had a disc drive..
My partner does not care that much about the Pixel count, as it is my house only has base PS4s and am XOX, so this might be a good second unit for their TV.
It's very simple for MS,
Do you have a 4K TV? Get the X.
Do you want to have physical games? Get the X.
Do you have a Full HD TV and don't care about physical games, or you have a smaller budget? Get the S.
I have GamePass ultimate and a 4K TV, so I chose the X.
I chose the S over the X and hearing things like this is reassuring! I'm not fussed about 4K, but I'd still very much like to get decent performance (especially when it comes to frame rate). Considering how much it costs, the S seems like an absolute steal!
Being an XBOX ONE X owner I’m keen to see comparisons of Series S and X, as I don’t have space for an X in my setup and S is perfect size.
I’m keen to see if Horizon 4 looks better on Series S than XBOX ONE X, as on XOX its quite possibly the best car game I’ve ever played
