For nearly two years, the Xbox Series S has been a worthy and more economical alternative to the Xbox Series X and even the PlayStation 5 as the flagship consoles struggle to keep up with fervent fan demand. But, while the Xbox Series S is still an upgrade if you compare it to the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, one developer thinks it's the one holding back the current gaming generation.
Lee Devonald, who works for Rocksteady Studios as a Character Technical Artist, aired out his controversial thoughts on Twitter over the past few days.
In a since-deleted tweet, Devonald claimed the Xbox Series S is the reason why WB Games Montreal capped the frame rates of Gotham Knights on consoles. Fans are currently up in arms over the still-unconfirmed performance capping of Gotham Knights on the PS5 and XSX. Devonald explained that multi-platform games force developers to consider the "lowest performer". Devonald then referred to the Xbox Series S as a "potato.
It's a perfectly understandable and relatable statement. It's the same reason gamers want incoming games out of the PS4 and Xbox One as soon as possible. But, these are thoughts best kept to yourself.
