'The Series S Version Can't Be Readily Recommended' - Digital Foundry Reviews Crimso

Performance mode is "reminiscent of a Switch port".Following extensive testing on all versions of Crimson Desert, the Digital Foundry team has now dropped its tech review for the Xbox editions of the Pearl Abyss RPG, and it's no real surprise that the results are a very mixed bag - particularly when you bring Xbox Series S into the equation.Microsoft's digital-only current-gen console clearly struggles with the recent Xbox release.

Former Xbox Exec Says Project Helix Is 'Very Similar' To Microsoft's Plan For The OG

"It's very similar to what the original Xbox plan was...".Microsoft is moving further and further back towards its PC gaming roots with the advent of the next-gen Xbox — Project Helix — and according to former exec Ed Fries, the upcoming console sounds a lot like what Microsoft had originally planned for the OG Xbox before the system morphed more into a traditional console during development.On a recent episode of The Expansion Pass podcast, Fries sat down to chat about all-things Xbox, including some talk about Project Helix.
