Digital Foundry has declared itself "highly impressed" with how Final Fantasy 7 Remake performs on Xbox Series X and Series S following the game's first appearance on Microsoft's consoles.

Despite the Series S having significantly less RAM than Series X and PS5 — and reportedly less than Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 — the outlet notes the smaller Xbox delivers a consistent experience. Texture detail on Series S is singled out as superior to Switch 2 and markedly better than the last-generation PS4 release.

The Series X version remains the flagship offering in terms of raw hardware potential, but Digital Foundry's analysis underlines that the Series S presents a well-optimised alternative for players who do not own top-tier kit. The findings represent a notable endorsement of Microsoft's lower-cost current-gen hardware where optimisation is handled carefully.

The observations were reported via Pure Xbox, which summarised Digital Foundry's technical comparison of the game's versions across the latest console hardware.

The Digital Foundry breakdown adds to growing conversations about how developers are balancing performance and visual fidelity across a diverse console landscape, with optimisation increasingly shaping perceived value between different systems.
