| Otter said: If PS5/SX are running GTA6 at 1080p internal (4k FSR upscaled) 30fps, a new Xbox system running it at 60fps with an image that looks native 4k would in fact be quite the improvement and a massive selling point. Going forward singular huge generational gaps will simply not be a thing outside of Nintendo's next 2 devices. A year or 2 of Xbox having the version of games as developers intended it without massive sacrifices will be quite attractive and good marketing for the brand. |
That's an absurdly high bar (akin to the 4090 + 7800X3D combo vs. the PS5/XSX) for a console to clear even accounting for better upscaling.
Mind that architectural improvements aside a 2026 launch will be constrained to hardware only ~40% denser and ~20% less power-hungry than the PS5 Pro (that's using TSMC's very expensive N3 nodes... which is far from a given).
I have no doubt MS will want to rely on every sort of deep scaling and cloud-based solutions their studios and AMD come up with by then but really, after blunders like Flight Simulator 2024 and AMD's typical tardiness I doubt they would fare any better in a 2026 console than RT fared this generation.
