Previously, Battlefield games were developed primarily for PC and then optimized for consoles, but now it's the other way around.
Battlefield 6 Technical Director Christian Bull said in an interview with Kotaku that adapting the shooter for the Xbox Series S console was a serious challenge for the development team, but ultimately led to improved game stability on all platforms.
According to Bull, the main problem was the limited memory of the Series S, which is even less than that of budget PCs.
About 6–12 months ago, we noticed that many game levels were crashing on Xbox Series S due to lack of memory.
The team focused on optimizing memory usage, which, according to the technical director, not only solved the problems with Series S, but also made "the whole game better and more stable".
We conducted many tests and collected data. After we started running all the levels through this system and identified the problem areas, after a couple of months we completely eliminated the memory problems on the Series S.
Now Battlefield 6, according to Bull, runs "super stable" on the Xbox Series S and provides a smooth 60 frames per second.
