I disagree with Hogwarts Legacy being badly optimized on consoles. It's 1440p 60 fps on PS5 and it holds 60 fps majority of the time.

Meanwhile XSS version is only 792p in 60 fps, which is definitely a last gen resolution, it even has loading screen when leaving Hogwarts interior due to low amount of RAM (10GB vs 16GB)

GTA VI however will be a true test of things to come.

You don't think the game being cross-gen took away from better optimization? It's not unplayable, but it has really bad screen tearing in certain areas and dips in FPS on Series X. Raytracing isn't even worth using on console. Instead of a performance patch which should have released by now, the devs are working their butts off to get the last gen and Switch versions out. 

I mean by that logic, almost all games released thus far take away from optimization, because there has been only few games that are current gen only.

What's the next current gen only game? Kill the Justice League?

In September we will see how Starfield devs treated Series S, this is a big first party game now.
