I'm surprised it can't hit 60fps at 1080p. It matches the series X CPU and has a third the GPU power. Meanwhile 1080p is one quarter the pixel count of 2160p that the Series X gets through, plus they can run lower quality textures, cheaper lighting and filtering. 1080p/60 should be feasible and it's worrying why they've not gone for it.Perhaps Ubisoft think Series S gamers aren't interested in performance, that it's basically a fortnite box? doesn't bode well.

It most likely can handle 1080p 60 fps, but Ubisoft figured that the target audience for Series S, casuals, would prefer higher resolution over higher framerate. And honestly, they might be right. But I definitely think that Series S is capable of 1080p 60 fps on AC Valhalla, another Ubisoft game from this Holiday, Watch Dogs Legion, has dynamic resolution scaling from 720p-1080p on Series S and from 1440p-2160p on Series X, with raytracing on both. The gap in performance between Watch Dogs on S and X suggests that AC Valhalla should be capable of 1080p 60 fps on Series S since Series X is 2160p 60 fps, but Ubisoft decided that the target audience of Series S would rather have 1440p 30 fps than 1080p 60 fps. It's a shame that Ubisoft isn't a fan of multiple performance profiles, would be nice if they allowed people to choose between framerate and resolution modes on Series S.

If they had made it 1440p30fps then sure we could say they gave preference for res, but when they gone 1080p30fps versus 4k60fps of Series X then for me they were just being odd in choice. But you are right most won't care that it is 30fps, I don't.
