But in the meantime, no matter what current games you throw at it, your loading times will be drastically cut, your framerates will be smoother, and your resolutions will be higher. Play Verdict: We can only assume that the Xbox Series X will wow us with new and spectacular next-gen games eventually, because there isn’t much to judge it on right now. When that comes it will definitely have some effect on performance. I should note that almost no games have ray tracing enabled yet. It wasn’t anything major, but it’s a worrying warning sign that a brand-new console is already missing a few steps. I did see some minor screen tearing and mild framerate choppiness in The Falconeer at 120fps, and in Gears 5’s Versus at 120fps as well as the 60fps campaign I spotted noticeable dips here and there.
