Over the past few months we’ve heard a lot about how the upcoming Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 will revolutionize open-world games with their powerful processors and sold-state drives, but what about other genres? Windows Central has posted a new article, featuring developer reactions to the Xbox Series X hardware, and much of it is stuff we’ve heard before – they’re looking forward to playing with the new GPU and the SSD should make streaming big worlds easier. Probably the most interesting response comes from Kevin Floyer-Lea at Rebellion Developments, who details some of the less obvious ways the Xbox Series X hardware will benefit more linear, stealthy games like their own Sniper Elite series.

Obviously 4K visuals and high framerates are of benefit to games like Sniper Elite, but the Xbox Series X’s ray tracing hardware, including audio ray tracing, with also have a huge effect.
