The tech experts over at Digital Foundry have gone hands on with Bright Memory: Infinite, breaking down each console version to see how they all stack up against PC. While PC — depending on your rig of course — is the clear winner, Xbox Series X stands out amongst the console crowd.
In pretty much every metric; general performance, resolution, stability in the 120Hz mode, Xbox Series X comes out on top over PS5, Xbox Series S and Switch. It's a very impressive showing, especially when we're talking 4K and 60FPS with ray tracing enabled!
Things are pretty damn solid on Xbox Series S too. Sure it lacks the additional RT and 120Hz modes of the two more expensive consoles, but it's pretty much locked to 60FPS. Other videos labelled the Series S version "mindboggling", so we don't think it loses out too much by sticking to one performance mode.
In our review, where we stuck to the Xbox Series X version, we were hugely impressed by the ray tracing mode especially. Sadly, the rest of the game — beyond the visuals — doesn't hit quite as high standards, with the mechanics feeling a little shallow overall.
But, what do you think of Bright Memory: Infinite? Let us know down in the comments!

Nevertheless, still impressive for a one man band.
@uptownsoul Microsoft didn't fund it.
@Royalblues You so bougie Royal ...
I like the look of the game but I can't justify the price for a hour and half game, hopefully comes to gamepass at some point or a sale
@Royalblues I’m sure it will. The Series X is more powerful, we just haven’t seen the best of it yet from first party titles.
@Royalblues no I agree. I was just making the point. We’ll see the X’s true potential with something like Hellblade. I don’t think it’s shown it’s hand yet.
@Royalblues no need to apologise pal, no offence or anything like that taken. You made some good points.
I wasn’t very clear, I used the upcoming Hellblade as an example of a game that should potentially show off the graphical prowess of the Series X, which imo we haven’t quite seen yet, while the PS5 has had say Ratchet and Clank to really impress with the new hardware.
As for what do I want? Just good games, I don’t want an MS equivalent of Uncharted or The Last of Us, I want something like a Star Field and new Gears, even another Gears Tactics. I’d even love a sequel to RYSE, I loved that game. I also want them to take risks and create new experiences and carry on supporting indies the way they do. While Sonys been the master at story driven narrative games they’re becoming a little stale imo and they’re having trouble branching out. I don’t want to see the same from MS.
Why can some gaming devs provide RT ablitly on the Series S and others not. I'm thinking of games like Watch Dogs Legion, RT ability is amazing on the S and games like FC6 and DL2, nothing?
@uptownsoul So we take it you are not a XB gamer, maybe PS gamer instead. Yes u right, some 1st party xb games didn't release as intended, but aren't most gamers ok with delays lately in this day and age, providing the end product when it's finally released after a few delays is near perfect, which it isn't most of the time? Most comments thread, if u dare to scold the devs for delaying, a whole rat pack army jumps on you, trying to take you apart why u dare to question delays of a game. So let's be patient and we all know sooner or later it's gonna deliver, those delays will materialize into eventual releases and Starfield is gonna shake the gaming world, many PS gamers wants that game more than life and many to come. I for one hate exclusives, I played both PS and Xb and pc in my time, and I want to see it end. But for now it is what it is?
@uptownsoul U make wild statements here and then it's responded too and u make as if it doesn't concern you, seriously dude, it has everything to do with you lol. If u put yourself out there on social media u must be prepared for you comments to be responded to, that's just fair. So if u don't want to be responded to, u should refrain from making comments on the threads, simple as that dude, period!!!!!!!!!
Got terrible review scores, between 5-6/10 only omg.
Agree, but remember it works both ways. People can also treat your comments however they want, it's a two way street as they say lol.
