Xbox Series X Sea Of Thieves Will Have Improved Load Times, 4K Support

We're only a few days away from the launch of the Xbox Series X and Series S, and you can even read our Xbox Series X review now. Microsoft has indicated that many of the platform's most-popular games will receive a boost to performance on the new consoles. Rare's pirate adventure Sea of Thieves is no exception. One of Microsoft's most successful exclusive, the game will receive significant improvements on both the Xbox Series X and Series S.

According to the above tweet, both the Series X and Series S will offer improved load times and 60 frames per second. However, the Series X will target 4K, whereas the Series S will run at 1080p.

This is in line with the improvements that have previously been revealed for other notable games. For example, Fortnite will support 4K and 60 FPS on the Xbox Series X, and 1080p and 60 FPS on the Series S. The developer behind Halo: The Master Chief Collection has also announced similar gains, with 120 FPS 4K on Series X and 1080p on Series S. However, the update will not arrive until November 17, so players will need to be a bit patient.

The Xbox Series X and Series S both launch on November 10, just two days before Sony's PlayStation 5. The more powerful Series X retails for $500, while the smaller, less powerful Series S comes in at $300.
