The version tested was 1.18.12.0.

On a Variable Refresh Rate display both consoles can run at a frame rate higher than 30fps. This is difficult to demonstrate though due to capture card limitations and how low framerate compensation works with refresh rate counters on VRR displays.

Xbox Series X renders at a native resolution of 2560x1440 and uses a form of temporal upsampling to reconstruct a 3840x2160 resolution.

Xbox Series S render at a native resolution of 1920x1080.

Texture quality and Level of Detail are noticeably improved on Xbox Series X compared to Xbox Series S.
