    Puha talked about the 60FPS performance mode for Alan Wake 2 on Xbox Series X and why he’s super impressed by it (but still prefers playing at 30FPS)

    Honestly, I don’t put much stake in any person’s statements if they say they prefer playing any game at 30fps.

    Yes the Series S is less powerful, but developers keep complaining and it often sounds like they just don’t know how to optimize their content, or they are too rigid in deciding on what to compromise on. Nobody with a Series S expects it to play games that look like they do on Series X, just like a person with an Intel HD540 integrated graphics doesn’t expect the same graphical quality as someone with an RTX 4090.

      He’s not saying he prefers 30 fps over 60 fps. He’s saying he prefers higher fidelity at 30 fps versus sacrificing quality to hit 60 fps. Given how people seem to enjoy such options in games I think he’s far from alone in that opinion.

      It’s literally the more popular model than the Series X in many regions. Xbox would be kneecapping their modern install base if they abandoned it.
