Xbox Series S Can’t Run Turok: Origins at 60 FPS, Says Developer

During a Gamescom 2025 presentation of Turok: Origins, Saber Interactive Madrid Game Director Jesús Iglesias revealed that the upcoming first and third-person cooperative shooter game will run at 60 frames per second on consoles such as Sony's PlayStation 5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X. When asked about the latter console's smaller sibling, the Xbox Series S, Iglesias admitted that the same wouldn't apply there, as the studio simply found no way to make that happen. As such, the Xbox Series S will run Turok: Origins at 30 frames per second.

The more interesting tidbit is that it's now also in a first-person perspective. Wonder how that will do after it was shown to be a third-person game when it was first revealed.

Oh that's pretty cool. My biggest gripe was that it was third-person. Well, that and the apparently forced co-op or whatever.

The other issue I have with the game are the environmental visuals. The bright areas have that haze of "brown" cast over the visuals, like it's a 2008 Xbox 360 title. And the dark areas aren't doing much for me. The original Turok had lush, bright environments (even if they were kind of samey) with a decent amount of saturation.
 
most people don't see the real issue here.

what does it mean if the Series S can't run it at 60fps?
it means that they found no way to cut the resolution down to 1/3.
and what does that mean? it means the base resolution on Series X and PS5 is already SO LOW that lowering it further was not an option.

we know it can't be the CPU... because the CPU is essentially the same... so it has to be the GPU.
and that means that the game probably runs at sub 1080p on the other consoles.

so we probably have another MGS Delta here. it will probably run at 720p 60fps on PS5 and Series X in many scenes. so they just didn't bother lowering that even further for the S.

so, this tells me that this will be another UE5 shit show

Asking a Spaniard about an Xbox console is ill intended. There are only four people in the whole country that owns one. Might as well had asked for the CD-i version.

Not good if that's the case. If the rumors of new Xbox hardware next year are true then that will be the place to play it on console.
 
It's UE5.
It will probably be 720p 35-60fps on Series X and PS5.

Of course it won't run at 60fps on the S. Are we expect them to drop the resolution to 360p?

didn't Immortals of Aveum unironically do this? 😭

edit: almost lol, the base console versions ran at 720p, and the Series S version ran at 436p lol


Nothing is impossible with UNREAL ENGINE 5! you thought an ugly as fuck game could never be so demanding that it has to run at 720p on Series X and PS5!? THINK AGAIN! nothing is impossible with UE5!
