The Xbox Series X is approximately as powerful as a 3700x, 16GB ram, 3070 PC.
That probably represents a higher PC specification than the majority of PC users have so its simply false to say that the Xbox itself is soley resposible.
Asobo/Microsoft have a commitment to make this sim play on both console and on a range of PC hardware.
A PC user who is still rocking a 1080Ti or 2070 has a PC that will underperform relative to an Xbox Series X. This is even more true if they still have their games installed on a mechanical HDD.
So the real question is, ‘Are Asobo developing this sim to be compatible with as much hardware as possible, rather than focusing on only the highest end PC users?’.
The answer is obviously that is what they are doing, and it’s the correct decision.
