Fingers crossed?
Battlefield 6 owes a series of optimisations to the Xbox Series S — and mostly because developers were struggling to get the game running on the lesser-powered console, they’ve revealed.
Speaking with Kotaku, technical director Christian Buhl called the Xbox Series S a “challenge”, mostly because it “does have less memory than even our mid-spec PC”.
“There was a point… like, 6 to 12 months ago where we kind of realized that a lot of our levels were crashing on Xbox Series S,” Buhl confessed.
To address the issues, Buhl said the Battlefield 6 team began optimising memory usage inside the game, also working on “specific optimizations” for the Series S as well.
The result? “Super solid” performance on the console, which will run Battlefield 6 at a “smooth 60 frames per second”.
While confirming that Battlefield 6 will implement gyro controls on PS5 and PS5 pro to cater to its DualSense controller, Buhl was unable to comment on a Switch 2 release or Joy-Con 2 functionality.
Expect Battlefield 6 from 10 October on Windows PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5.
