What you need to know
Recently, Frontier Developers — the team behind games like Elite: Dangerous — announced thatPlanet Coasterwas coming to consoles. The title is a roller coaster-building experience that garnered great reviews on PC when it launched a couple of years ago. The Xbox One and Xbox Series X versions have a new control scheme and other improvements that should make it easier to play with a controller.
Today, the team gave us a peek into the visuals of the title on consoles. The graphics maintain its cartoon-like charm and seem like they feature great lighting as well. You can take a look at the trailer below. According to Frontier Developments, “releasing Holiday 2020 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, andXbox Series X, Planet Coaster: Console Edition offers even more players the chance to fall in love with building, managing, and sharing their dream coaster parks.”
It’ll be interesting to see how what the control scheme is on consoles since the title requires some precision. We’ll also keep you posted as soon as we know what the performance target is on Xbox One X compared to Xbox Series X. Given past Frontier Development experiences, it may be 30 frames per second (FPS) on Xbox One X and 60 FPS on Xbox Series X. However, only time will tell.
Microsoft is holding an Xbox Series X gameplay reveal event on July 23 that should provide more answers about the technical capabilities of the machine when it comes to actual graphics.
