"Hundreds of additional megabytes" of RAM now available.
Microsoft has boosted the performance capabilities of the Xbox Series S as part of its June Development Kit, freeing up “hundreds of additional megabytes” of RAM for use my developers.
“Hundreds of additional megabytes of memory are now available to Xbox Series S developers,” Microsoft said in a video detailing the kit (seen below).
“This gives developers more control over memory, which can improve graphics performance in memory-constrained conditions.”
While the Series S is capable of 1440p gaming at up to 120 frames-per-second (FPS), there are few games actually hitting those marks at present. The Series S comes with 10GB of RAM, as compared to the Xbox Series X’s 16GB. Of the Series S’ capacity, around 2GB of RAM is reserved for the Xbox operating system.
While time well tell how effective this change will be, we’re hopeful we’ll see some nice improvements.
The Xbox Series S is currently in stock in the Microsoft Store Australia and is priced at $499.99 AUD.
