That is determined by sport design and the lead platform. Should you design your sport round an even bigger reminiscence foot print, denser geometry, dialog, NPC, animation, all eat up 9 GBs at its base, the tougher or not it’s to squeeze into smaller footprints. Builders have mentioned this as effectively, simply google search XBSS out of ram, or builders points with XBSS ram. They have been saying this since early 2021 so that is nothing new. With the PS5 being the market chief, greater than possible it’s now the lead platform for growth, which hurts XBSS attributable to reminiscence variations.
Anywho, so if base sport code wants 9 GBs for instance, that is earlier than textures and results, they already should spend time and sources slicing out 1 GB of knowledge associated to sport design on XBSS. Decreasing geometry, lowering NPCs (See Road Fighter 6 comparability) or objects, and draw distance are often the primary to get minimize. That is earlier than you even get to particular results and textures. If results and textures eat up 4 GBs of knowledge, now you must squeeze 13 GBs into 8 GBS of ram. Once more, that is at it base acceptable look the developer deemed acceptable. Now they’ve to chop 5 GBs of content material which results sport design from the bottom configuration. That is loads of work and compromises that goes past merely sliders. Positive the sliders will have an effect on particular results, textures, draw distances, shadows, ect, however it may possibly solely be adjusted so removed from the bottom design. That is why merely transferring the slider again like a PC will not be all the time the straightforward reply, builders have mentioned this as effectively.
