In a lengthy article published in The Verge, Tom Warren discussed with a representative of Microsoft products to receive some clarification on why Xbox Series X is less than PlayStation 5 in some cross-platform video games, despite the higher specs.
The Xbox rep explained that Microsoft's partners have recently started using Xbox Series X and Xbox series s therefore they have not yet figured out how to take full advantage of the features of the new hardware: "We are aware that some titles optimized on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S have performance problems, we are working with our partners, we are identifying them and we want to guarantee users an optimal experience. As the console generation is in its infancy, our partners are only scratching the surface of what they can do using this hardware, trying to fix bugs while learning to take advantage of all the features given by the new hardware ».
