We’ve slowly seen more developers move away from the arbitrary frame cap, particularly in competitive games such as first-person shooters and fighting games.īut single-player titles seem to be more reluctant to take the next step, often prioritizing graphical effects over smoother, more responsive gameplay. Nowadays, most PC gamers far exceed 60fps in favor of higher refresh rates, such as 144fps, so it’s jarring to play console games that feel so sludgy and blurry in comparison.Īnd yet, even though both the Xbox Series X and PS5 will feature an AMD Zen 2 processor, it looks like the constraints of 30fps aren’t going away anytime soon. As you roam freely in the beautiful world of. Discovery Tour Ancient Egypt lets you explore the world of Egypt free of conflict, or gameplay constraints. It is available both as a free part of the original games and as a standalone purchase. It’s why 60fps gaming has been possible (and largely the norm) on PC hardware for well over a decade, while console games can often suffer from notoriously unstable performance. Discovery Tour is a special mode that uses the worlds created for the main Assassin’s Creed games to offer an educational exploration experience. Nevertheless, it’s hard not to be disappointed that one of the biggest third-party titles for Xbox Series X will only output at 30fps when running at 4K resolution, a target that we really shouldn’t have to deal with anymore when you factor in the huge leap in processing power Microsoft’s new console provides.Ĭonsoles have been consistently hamstrung by weak CPUs that are often designed for laptops and repurposed accordingly.

There’s also a chance that Ubisoft will be able to make further optimizations to the game before launch. Of course, it’s unclear whether Ubisoft will make a performance mode available in the game, which usually drops the resolution significantly in favor of a higher, often unlocked framerate.

Will there be enough of a distinction between each version to separate the two? Let’s not forget, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey ran at 4K/30fps on Xbox One X and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is also coming to Microsoft’s current-gen console. Despite the addition of a few fancy graphical bells and whistles, then, the experience will largely be the same on Xbox Series X – performance wise – as it will be on Xbox One X.
