Xbox Scarlett promises huge improvements to load times, frame rate and more MicrosoftProject Scarlett was announced during Xbox\u2018s E3 2019 presser, and it vowed to be \u2018the best console yet\u2019. On August 15, Microsoft Gaming lead Phil Spencer revealed more on that promise. The Xbox community has been in high spirits since the reveal of Project Scarlett back in June 9. The promise of components such as a custom made processor and \u201cinsane\u201d graphics capabilities has fans waiting with bated breath for more news on the next generation system. On August 15, head of Xbox Phil Spencer provided more insight into the console\u2019s potential in an exclusive interview with video game website GameSpot. Xbox Scarlett won\u2019t just have improved graphics When talking about the already-promised improved graphics, Spencer revealed that the visuals aren\u2019t the only feature the gaming giant is looking to better. \u201cI think the area that we really want to focus on next generation is frame rate and playability of the games. Ensuring that the games load incredibly fast, ensuring that the game is running at the highest frame rate possible,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople love 60 frames-per-second games, so getting games to run at 4K 60 (FPS) I think will be a real design goal for us.\u201d The Xbox lead then revealed that \u2018playability\u2019 is a huge focus for Microsoft with the next console, with the company targeting load times specifically. \u201cPlayability is probably the bigger focus for us this generation. How fast do (games) load? Do I feel like I can get into the game as fast as possible and while it\u2019s playing? How does it feel? Does this game both look and feel like no other game that I\u2019ve seen? That\u2019s our target.\u201d he stated. The gaming giant previously announced that its console would have a Solid State Drive built in to increase load speeds by 40 times in comparison to current generation systems. Project Scarlett won\u2019t exclude past games Spencer also talked backwards compatibility \u2013 something that both the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch don\u2019t include \u2013 and revealed that the Scarlett will feature cross-generation play. \u201cWe really like the reception and the use that we\u2019ve seen through the (Xbox One backwards compatibility) program. Making sure that all four generations of content all run on the next platform is important to us.\u201d he said.
