The extra power and performance will make worlds so much more alive. Q: How will these enhancements impact a player’s experience with The Falconeer?Ī: I think some people might just look at it and say, “It’s just prettier and faster,” but you have to think about what that does for the gameplay. It’s so crisp! I think that’s wonderful, and I think players will be blown away by the clarity and crispness of games at higher and higher resolutions.
But if I run a game at 6K or 8K I can pause the game and it’s like having a piece of art in your living room. The other one is 4K… but also 6K and 8K! It’s funny, because when you look at a television, you can always tell you’re looking at a TV, because even on high-quality screens you can see pixels and jagged lines and stuff. Achieving 60fps on previous generations required compromises and sacrifices you won’t have to make next generation – sacrifices to AI, to visuals, to background simulation, to the scale of your open world, to levels of detail… 60fps is a must, and a huge benefit to players. As a maker I don’t accept that 30fps is sufficient for action games with high-intensity gameplay, like you experience during dogfights in The Falconeer. In my opinion I believe 60fps should be a foundational feature of the next generation.

The extra performance on the next-generation Xbox and a high-end PC means developers can make worlds feel more alive. Over the last few days I’ve been adding more and more ships to the harbours with absolutely no impact on the game’s performance, and that’s the sort of thing you can do with this new generation – richer worlds, with more detail and life. The Great Ursee is an ocean world filled with ships and life, but until recently the harbours lacked any docked ships. As soon as I was able to bring The Falconeer to Xbox Series X, I just wanted to do more! You have so much more bandwidth. For instance, doing open world stuff because you have more performance and speed. Q: What excites you most about developing and bringing The Falconeer to life on next-gen hardware?Ī: So, I think what’s most interesting is how certain things which once required a lot of intense development become a lot more accessible. Today, we chat with independent developer Tomas Sala about optimizing The Falconeer for Xbox Series X. In our Inside Xbox Series X Optimized series, these creators will share the behind-the-scenes accounts of how they’re optimizing their titles for Xbox Series X and what that means for the future of gaming.

This means that they’ve taken full advantage of the unique capabilities of Xbox Series X, both for new titles built natively using the Xbox Series X development environment as well as previously released titles that have been rebuilt specifically for the console.
One of the biggest benefits of all that power is giving developers the ability to make games that are Xbox Series X Optimized.
When it launches on November 10, Xbox Series X will be the most powerful console the world has ever seen.
