... Read moreHey everyone! So, like many of you, I was super excited for The Crew Motorfest to drop, but I also had that nagging question: how would it really perform on my Xbox One S? We all know it's not the latest console, so I truly hoped it wouldn't be a laggy mess. After spending a good chunk of time racing across O'ahu, I'm ready to share my thoughts, especially for fellow Xbox One S users. First off, let's talk visuals. Is it jaw-dropping 4K? No, of course not. But for an Xbox One S, I was genuinely impressed. The island of O'ahu still looks vibrant and detailed, especially when you're cruising through the lush jungles or along the coastlines. The car models, like my beloved Ferrari GTO, look fantastic, with plenty of polish. You can tell they optimized it pretty well for the older hardware. I did notice some pop-in here and there, mostly with distant objects, but it wasn't distracting enough to ruin the experience. It's definitely a step up from previous Crew games on this console generation. Now, for the big one: performance. This is where most of us One S owners hold our breath. I can confidently say that The Crew Motorfest generally maintains a stable 30fps. It's not the silky-smooth 60fps you'd get on a Series X or PC, but it felt consistent during races, even with a lot of cars on screen. There were a few moments in heavy traffic or very dense areas where I felt a slight dip, but they were momentary and didn't impact my ability to drive. Loading times are present, especially when fast traveling or starting new events, but they're manageable – grab a quick drink, and you're good to go. Overall, the gameplay feels responsive, and the controls handle well, which is crucial for a racing game. One thing I always enjoy doing is capturing cool moments from my gameplay. I've been using the built-in recording features on the Xbox to RECord some of my best overtakes and scenic drives. It's great to be able to capture in HD at 30fps, and while it's not RAW footage, the quality is decent enough to share with friends or post online. It's nice to know that even on the One S, you can still document your adventures without too much hassle. Just remember to clear some storage if you're planning on a long recording session! So, is The Crew Motorfest worth it on Xbox One S? My personal take is a resounding yes! If you're looking for an expansive open-world racer and don't plan on upgrading your console just yet, this game offers a solid, enjoyable experience. It's not perfect, but it delivers on the core fun factor. The variety of vehicles, events, and the beautiful island setting make it a fantastic way to spend your gaming hours. Go for it!
