In a surprising new update, Microsoft has given Xbox Series S game developers more control over memory on the console according to TheVerge.
“A new Xbox software development kit has been released to developers recently, and it frees up more memory for developers to access for Xbox Series S games and boosts performance”
“Hundreds of additional megabytes of memory are now available to Xbox Series S developers,” says Microsoft’s Game Dev team in a video detailing the updates. “This gives developers more control over memory, which can improve graphics performance in memory-constrained conditions.” – TheVerge
This is something that could really help developers with games because the Series S only has 10GB of memory compared to the Xbox X which has 16GB. Microsoft also slid in other technical updates as well that could help improve overall performance of the Series S.
