Xbox Series X is on the way and if nothing else prevents it will be launched at the end of this 2020. Being the new generation console that has been most seen so far, it is precisely the one that we know the most details. While we wait for the final date and its price to be announced, one of the most important aspects to consider is how the new announced technologies will affect the performance of the games.
The SSD and the Xbox Velocity Architecture will allow the games to load in a few seconds, completely eliminating some loading screens and making others reduce their duration. Mike Rayner of The Coalition has spoken on this subject in a statement that includes gamesradar. Rayner has underlined the wonders of Xbox Series X in this regard and how it was designed with these enhancements in mind, making seeking a smooth and seamless experience a priority.
"As a video game developer, one of the most exciting improvements that far exceeds expectations is the huge I / O improvements to the Xbox Series.", Rayner explains, that omitting the "X" from Series can already drop the existence of Xbox Series S. “In the current generation, as the fidelity and size of our worlds have increased, we have seen load times and installation sizes grow and I / O demands increase at runtime, which has made Maintain expectations of load times and meet the demands of global streaming without loss of detail. Xbox Series X has been designed fully focused to meet this challenge«.
Rayner also went into a bit more detail with the Xbox Velocity Architecture and how it works. «The Xbox Series X Sampler Feedback for Steaming is a turning point in our thinking about global streaming and the level of visual detail. We will explore how we can use it in the future both to increase the detail of our game's texture beyond what we can put into memory, and to further reduce load times by increasing load on demand until just before we need it. ».
