However, a recent interview with Jason Ronald, Xbox\u2019s Director of Program Management, revealed why Microsoft doesn\u2019t see this as a problem.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/xbox-sony-ps5-pre-order-confusion-comments\/\">Xbox Throws Shade At Sony Over PS5 Pre-Order Timing Confusion<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>On the Series S, game install sizes are expected to be approximately 30 percent smaller than on the Series X. The graphical performance target for the lower-spec console is only 1440p resolution and not the 4K of its substantially bigger brother. This means the console will make use of smaller resolution texture packages and thus there will be less data eating up that precious storage space.<\/p>\n<p>Ronald clarified that game developers may target their <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/xbox-series-x-4k-60-fps-streaming-recording\/\">Xbox games for 4K resolutions<\/a> if they choose, since the Series S can support upscaling. But Microsoft will not require that the Series S versions of games download the higher resolution textures. It will really be up to the developers.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fYtJWIxt3-M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In a video diving deeper into the architecture and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/xbox-series-x-vs-xbox-series-s-specs\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">specs of the Xbox Series S<\/a>, Ronald explained that developers use a number of techniques like dynamic resolution scaling to optimize their games for multiple performance profiles. The typical scenario is that developers will optimize their creations for 4K on the Series X and then downscale the rendering resolution for Series S without making fundamental changes to a game\u2019s other next-gen features.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, gamers who opt for the Xbox Series S don\u2019t necessarily need to worry about running out of storage space. Both versions of the new Xbox will feature expandable storage, and Microsoft has partnered with Seagate to create proprietary 1 TB <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/xbox-series-x-ssd-expansion-cards-hot-swappable\/\">expansion cards that can be hot-swapped<\/a> into a slot on the rear of the console. These expansion cards replicate and provide the same speed enhancements as the internal SSD of both consoles.<\/p>\n<p>On the next-gen <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/xbox-series-x-seagate-website\/\">Xbox, the SSD and expansion cards<\/a> will bring overall improved performance not only to Series X and Series S games, but also original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One titles as well. Games will benefit from noticeably faster loading times, and the new console\u2019s Quick Resume feature will allow players to switch seamlessly between multiple games and resume where they left off.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"next-single\">MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/microsoft-win-next-gen-xbox-series-s\/\">How Microsoft Can Win Next-Gen With the Xbox Series S<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/xbox-series-s-game-sizes-will-be-smaller-than-on-series-x\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IGN<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Microsoft explains why storage space might not be a concern for consumers who opt to purchase the Xbox Series S over the Series X.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":124,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Xbox Series S Will Have Reduced Game File Sizes, Saving SSD Space - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"Microsoft explains why storage space might not be a concern for consumers who opt to purchase the Xbox Series S over the Series X."},"footnotes":""},"categories":[607],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77569"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/124"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77569"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77569\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77570,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77569\/revisions\/77570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
