Xbox Series S optimisations made Battlefield 6 “better and more stable” across all platforms

The Xbox Series S has been a bit of a weird system, with the console offering a cheaper way to get into the current generation of gaming – albeit with plenty of compromises depending on the title in question. That said, while some developers have bemoaned the existence of the Series S, Battlefield developers at DICE have claimed that working with the console has made the upcoming Battlefield 6 “better and more stable” across all platforms.

In an interview conducted by the publication Kotaku, Battlefield 6’s technical director Christian Buhl spoke on the development of the upcoming shooter and how the lower-specced Series S factored into the equation, claiming:

“Xbox Series S does have less memory than even our mid-spec PC. And so there was a point…Oh, I want to say, like, 6 to 12 months ago where we kind of realized that a lot of our levels were crashing on Xbox Series S.”

This ultimately seemed to have been to the benefit of the game however, with Buhl adding “We were doing so much testing…we were collecting all this data. Once we kind of started running all our levels through it, and were able to see where the problems were, after a month or two, we had kind of resolved all of our memory issues on Series S.”

As a result, Battlefield 6 is said to now be “better and more stable” across all platforms, not just the Series S, thanks to the optimisations made – describing the upcoming title as “super solid” and “performant.”

The full interview can be found HERE and includes discussions surrounding the possibility of Battlefield 6 coming to Nintendo Switch 2.

All that said, it is encouraging to see that in this instance, the existence of the Series S should make for a more improved experience across the board. It will be interesting to see exactly how the game runs on Series S across more scenarios when Battlefield 6 launches in a little under a month’s time.
