Xbox Series S owners can look forward to better performance as part of Halo Infinites Season 2 update.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Xbox Series S owners can enjoy a new 120Hz refresh option in Halo Infinite,
as part its Season 2 update. That means if you own a compatible display, you can play the game at a silky-smooth 120fps.

Halo Infinite previously targeted 60fps on Xbox Series S , but developer 343 Industries has been able to squeeze more performance out of Microsofts more affordable (albeit less powerful) console in Season 2 .

The Xbox Series S was able to hit 120fps during the games multiplayer beta, but the resolution was severely compromised as a result. When the game launched, only a 60fps option was available, so its great to see a 120Hz mode return, with better image quality to boot.

But it isnt just Xbox Series S thats received a new graphics mode. Xbox
Series X owners can now choose to run Halo Infinite at a 30Hz refresh rate, which should allow the game to hit a higher resolution. While we wouldnt recommend sacrificing the benefits of a higher frame rate for more
resolution, its nice to see that every taste is now catered for.

To change Halo Infinites target frame rate, head to the Video tab in the
games settings menu. Unfortunately, as it stands, theres currently an issue when selecting the aforementioned 30Hz mode, as the gameplay will revert to 60Hz when you next launch the game. The only workaround, as listed on Halo Waypoint , is to set the target frame rate back to 30Hz every time you launch the game.

The Xbox Series S isnt as powerful as the Xbox Series X, but that doesnt mean it isnt a capable next-gen console. The Xbox Series S has already shown its powerful enough to run numerous titles at 120fps , and currently has far more games than PS5 that target higher frame rates.

The Xbox Series S also handled Epic's extremely impressive Matrix Awakens: Unreal Engine 5 Experience with aplomb, proving that its able to handle the latest graphics technology.

Its pleasing to see that some developers are taking the time to get the most out of the smallest Xbox ever made, instead of simply ensuring a game will
run on Microsoft's cheaper machine. Like Halo Infinite, Dying Light 2 also received an update that improved performance on Xbox Series S shortly after launch.



The Xbox Series S is a great entry point into the current-gen of gaming, despite its limitations, and because it's easier to produce, it's now also much easier to buy than Microsoft's flagship console.If you're not fussed about having the best resolution possible, the Xbox Series S is easy to recommend. Is the Xbox Series S better than the Xbox One S?
