A video has just appeared showing off the capabilities and loading times of the Xbox Series X. Xbox Live’s Major Nelson (Larry Hryb) posted a video on his Twitter showing the Xbox Series X loading up a cloud save of Fallout 4.
Microsoft has long communicated that the Xbox Series X/S is designed with fast load times in mind. Many may first think about load times inside of a game itself, such as a multiplayer map loading in faster or being able to fast-travel with lightning speed. But the video posted by Major Nelson is an example of how fast a game can be booted up, placing the player exactly where they left off before ending a session.
As was shown in a previous video, the Xbox Series S/X allows for a quick resume feature that lets games recommence exactly where they left off. Not only does this work with Xbox Series X/S titles, but it also works with backward-compatible games (like Fallout 4 in the case of the Major Nelson video). Additionally, the cloud saving means that whatever progress the player had in the Xbox One game can be saved, and thus picked up on with the Xbox Series X/S.
Cloud saving, fast reloads, and instant quick resumes can be a game-changer for the likes of Destiny 2, or Red Dead Redemption 2 – titles with notoriously long load times. With current-generation open world and shared world style games especially, it can be a painful decision to simply boot up a different application, because it will take so long to start a session when returning. Additionally, in-game loading screens can be infuriatingly long. The Xbox Series X/S is attempted to answer these types of problems.
Video game upgrades generation over generation have often been defined by groundbreaking graphics and new gameplay opportunities. The jump from Nintendo to Super Nintendo saw the rise of 16-bit graphics versus 8-bit graphics. The leap from Super Nintendo to Nintendo 64 gave many players their first taste at freeing 3D movement. The visual difference from the PlayStation 2 to the PlayStation 3 was staggering, thanks to games finally being rendered in HD.
When looking at a game like Cyberpunk 2077, a title that looks like the graphical peak of gaming that is playable on current-gen, it is a wonder how the next generation hardware will be remembered. For the Xbox Series X/S, it may come down to being a console that runs smoother, quicker, and more responsive than any before it.
