Next month, fans will finally get their hands on one of the most anticipated games coming out this year. Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is the next big title in the Warhammer 40K franchise, and it will have players enjoy a visually stunning world with sci-fi-based action gameplay.
However, the visual details and graphical quality of the game have some fans concerned, rather than building further hype. These are players who are worried that the game will potentially have a tough time running on the Xbox Series S.
Players Are Worried About Space Marine 2’s Performance on the Xbox Series S
The Series S is the smaller device in Microsoft’s line-up of consoles, being a budget-friendly device that can run most modern-gen games, but there’s always a twist when it comes to this.
On the surface, specs like the custom AMD RDNA 2 GPU and 8-core AMD Zen 2 CPU may look high-end enough, but the console in reality has to tone down a game’s visual fidelity and sometimes even frame rate to get the best out of it.
Will Space marine 2 run well on series S?

User UltimateGear935’s concerns on Reddit seem to be well-founded, as they are worried about the upcoming game’s performance on the Series S. Like them, others in the community share this concern and wonder how the game will run on the device.
So far, Space Marine 2 looks like a game that isn’t holding back on pushing the limits of a virtually rich world. The weapons feel “heavy,” the environments look lush, and the number of enemies in a horde often shows off how technically demanding the game can be.
The game will likely run without any problems on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. But on the Series S? Only time will tell.
What Makes Space Marine 2 So Technologically Demanding?

It’s been a while since the first Space Marine came out, and the upcoming game is starting to look like a culmination of all the improvements in technology the industry has seen in the last few years.
Secondly, the game’s physics and gameplay engine allow players to kill and fight in several different ways. This requires a lot of computational power for the console to keep up with everything that’s going on.
Lastly, the visuals themselves feel highly detailed and realistic, which includes advanced lighting effects and shadows. Given such high expectations, it won’t be surprising if the Series S console struggles to properly run the game.
