By Here’s how both Xbox versions stack up
Last night, we highlighted the first reviews for Dying Light: The Beast as the game launched on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, but very few of those reviews were for the Xbox version – so how does it fare on those consoles?
Well, as usual, we’re looking to Fuzion Xbox Testing for some initial footage of both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, and overall it seems to be faring pretty well on both consoles so far.
On Xbox Series X, Dying Light: The Beast’s Quality Mode is said to be outputting at 1728p with potential Dynamic Resolution Scaling in play, while the Performance Mode is estimated to be 1080p. The visuals look good if not overly spectacular, while the Quality and Performance Modes seem to stick to a mostly rigid 30FPS and 60FPS respectively. There’s also a 120Hz option where you can go above 60FPS, although it mostly seems to stick around 65-70FPS.
On Xbox Series S, Dying Light: The Beast is seemingly outputting at 1080p, but again with Dynamic Resolution Scaling in play. You can see the reduced quality in the visuals on Series S, but the only real disappointment is that it’s locked at 30FPS as things stand – a very solid 30FPS it seems, but still only 30 frames per-second.
As we always say with these very early comparisons, everything here should be taken with a pinch of salt until the likes of Digital Foundry put a detailed analysis together – Fuzion Xbox Testing mentions in all their videos that “results should be approximate but may very well be inaccurate”. This just gives you an initial idea of what to expect.
There was also a new update released for Dying Light: The Beast last night, but we don’t think it did anything in terms of adding a 60FPS mode on Series S – unfortunately they haven’t shared the full patch notes for it as of yet.
We’ll leave you with the Xbox Series X|S comparison videos for Dying Light: The Beast below.
