Studios developing multi-platform games will find a way to work around the limitations of the slower SSD in the Xbox Series X relative to the PlayStation 5. This topic was discussed by Windows Mixed Reality Program Manager William Stillwell, who has previously worked on Xbox backwards compatibility, Project xCloud and others for several years. platform services.
Stillwell was a guest on the Iron Lords Podcast, where he was asked about the impressive SSD technology in the PlayStation 5, how much faster it is compared to the solution in the Xbox Series X, and whether it would even matter. Although the developer noted that he does not speak on behalf of the entire company, he has an idea of ββ\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbhow this discrepancy will be eliminated.
βI will say two things about this. First, I understand that this is a marketing point and the most important feature - and in a previous podcast I said that I am very impressed with what they have done with the [PS5] architecture. I think you can do some really cool stuff with this technology,β Stillwell said. βBut I also donβt think it will allow us to do anything spectacular compared to [Xbox Series X], and therefore I have a lot of confidence in our team. But the next day I can decide otherwise, and someone can prove that I was wrong. One thing I know for sure is never underestimate the ability of developers [β¦] but it works both ways.β
In a previous interview, Stillaull shared his opinion that internal developers will always take the best from the hardware of their console, and in the next generation we will see special platform exclusives. In the case of a multiplatform, this is unlikely to happen.
Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 will go on sale in the pre-holiday 2020 period.
