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.

That's my point. We haven't seen much because almost everything released so far is cross-gen, even first party. I can't put much faith in complete optimization for Series S or any of the current gen consoles for that matter. Do I think the Series S could run Hogwarts Legacy higher res than 792P@60? Yes. There have also been games that run well on the Series S like A Plagues Tale Requiem. 

Starfield and Forza will be the next test.
