The Xbox Series S is a smaller, cheaper, and more capable version of the larger Xbox Series X, but many gamers find its specs adequate for most 1080p gaming. So it's a great choice for those looking to enjoy mid-range gaming at an affordable price.

Over the past two years, the device has come under heavy criticism from several developers who have expressed their concerns about the Microsoft Xbox Series S device, and the developer of the game Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy, which was also recently announced, recently joined the list of critics of the device.

In a new interview with Kai Tuovinen Marketing director Kai Tuovinen at Frozenbyte Studio and via GamingBolt said that the Xbox Series S is a very good option for consumers, but could be a bottleneck for developers, and continued saying:

More powerful hardware is always better from a developer's point of view.

“I think for more graphically intensive games, the Series S could become a bottleneck because its support is needed. From a gamer's perspective, I think it's a good option to have an affordable console.”

In any case, Microsoft never intends to give up this console, and it doesn't seem like it has any plans to do so, especially since it leads sales of the Series series in an excellent way for the company, as was evident from the words of Matt Booty The head of Xbox Game Studios, who confirmed that the company will not allow developers to bypass the Series S and release games exclusively on the Series X, while speaking to Axios after the Xbox Games Showcase event.

Many developers led by The Riftbreaker, as well as David Cage, CEO of QUANTIC DREAM and lead developer of Heavy Rain and Fahrenheit, and the developers of Metro Exodus, who considered it an obstacle for their next projects, especially since they focus on showcasing their games with the best graphics, and finally the Gotham Knights game development team.
