Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, the sequel to Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, is now available for sale and to play via Game Pass on Xbox Series S/X and PC. The game, utilizing Unreal Engine 5, aims to elevate the strengths of animation to depict emotions realistically through graphics, lighting, and facial expressions.
ElAnalistaDeBits, a YouTube channel specializing in comparing game performance across different platforms, recently released a video analyzing the performance of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II. It was reported that:
– Xbox Series S runs at a resolution of 615p to 803p in Dynamic Resolution mode
– Xbox Series X runs at a resolution of 963p to 1070p in Dynamic Resolution mode
– PCs with an RTX 4060TI graphics card running DLSS in Balanced mode can achieve 1440p at an average frame rate of 78fps
– The Xbox version locks the frame rate at 30fps
Overall, Series S shows the poorest performance with somewhat blurry visuals and a not so stable locked frame rate of 30fps. On the other hand, Series X, while maintaining clear visuals, is better suited for playing on higher resolution screens or TVs with a 4K resolution, however, the locked frame rate of 30fps is ideal for a cinematic experience that Ninja Theory, the developers, intend to offer.
Previously, a performance and graphics analysis video by Digital Foundry on the game Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake revealed that the Xbox Series S version runs at a resolution of 454p to 720p in Dynamic Resolution mode, while Series X had a minor issue with the game Alan Wake 2, focusing on performance where it runs at a resolution of 847p but upscaled to 1440p.
TLDR:
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is now available on Game Pass for Xbox Series S/X and PC, boasting realistic emotions through top-notch graphics, lighting, and facial expressions. Analysis by ElAnalistaDeBits shows varying performance on different platforms. Series S has the poorest performance, Series X excels in visuals but both are locked at 30fps. Previous game analyses revealed resolution discrepancies on both Series S and X versions.
