According to the developer, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle should even run at 60 fps on Xbox Series S - but we are skeptical about one point

WithThe next big title from Xbox Game Studios will be released at the beginning of December. The action-adventure is being developed by the makers of the last onegames? MachineGames.

Axel Torvenius is the game's creative director and commented on the game's performance on Xbox Series X and S during the current previews. As Torvenius said in an interview, concrete technical details will be announced in the next few weeks, but he has already made a statement about the game's frame rate.

60 fps on the Series S, but the question of resolution remains

If Indiana Jones and the Great Circle actually runs at a stable 60 fps on the smaller Xbox model, it would be a little ahead of other big titles. This was released in May and is pretty linearis running, for example.received a performance update a few months ago, but on the Xbox Series S the resolution drops in places at 60 fpsexcept for a paltry 432p.

This is also the point at which we are still skeptical.Because such a high? and stable? Frame rate on the Series S can usually only be achieved with a simultaneous compromise in resolution. Many titles achieve 1080p at 60 fps on the Series S, including more graphically complex titlesalthough often significantly less.

Torvenius says that the frame rate should not come at the expense of the graphics. However, it still remains to be seen what the overall technical impression will be on the Xbox Series S.

In any case, our first impression of the PC version we played was quite positive. Because we also had the opportunity to try out Indy's new adventure:

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be released on December 9, 2024 for Xbox Series X/S and PC. An implementation for the PlayStation 5 will follow in spring 2025.

The story of the action-adventure takes place between the events of the two films "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" and lets the famous archaeologist discover secrets and solve puzzles in different places around the world.

What would you prioritize in Indy's new adventure: a high frame rate or the slickest possible graphics and a high resolution?
