The team took lots of data from testing and used it to optimise the Series S experience, in turn making the &#8220;whole game better and more stable&#8221; on other systems.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Xbox Series S does have less memory than even our mid-spec PC. And so there was a point\u2026Oh, I want to say, like, 6 to 12 months ago where we kind of realized that a lot of our levels were crashing on Xbox Series S.<\/p>\n<p>We were doing so much testing\u2026we were collecting all this data [&#8230;] Once we kind of started running all our levels through it, and were able to see where the problems were, after a month or two, we had kind of resolved all of our memory issues on Series S.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the end, it&#8217;s looking and sounding like all of that optimisation has paid off. The team has confirmed that the game runs at a solid 1080p \/ 60FPS on Xbox Series S, and while the other consoles have a few performance modes to pick from rather than just the one, those targets are pretty impressive given everything that can go off in the middle of a Battlefield 6 match.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/previews\/hands-on-battlefield-6-is-an-xbox-series-xs-showpiece-even-in-beta-form\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">From our own experience playing the beta on Xbox Series X<\/a>, BF6 is indeed very well optimised, which hasn&#8217;t always been the case for a Battlefield game at launch. It ran perfectly smoothly in both 60 and 120Hz modes for us, and we can&#8217;t wait to sample the full experience next month &#8211; on both Xbox Series X and S!<\/p>\n<p>Excited for BF6 on Xbox?
