@Popa2caps You sound like you are used to a very high framerate on PC, I have never seen frame skips on Series X with this game. I came from Xbox One S which ran Apex horribly. Constant stuttering, average 45-50 FPS with dips into the 30s, super blurry so very hard to see people at distance, altogether a frustrating experience.

The move to Series X solved every single one of those, even the stuttering which at first I thought might be a connection issue, nope it was just the old hardware couldn’t handle it. I have never seen the framerate go below constant 60 (the counter says 59 for some reason but it is def 60), except for one time in firing range I did Bangalore + Gibraltar ult at the same time while throwing thermite to stress test, it dipped into the mid 40s then went right back up. And that situation is unlikely in the majority of games...I can also play with maximum FOV with no issues where I had to keep it at 70-80 on One S to keep my framerate somewhat stable.

Series X is the best way to experience Apex on console and they haven’t optimized it yet so it will hopefully get better.

Yeah these jitters are mostly during battle. On my PC everything works during a fight, not very much of an issue. On Xbox Series X it's off and on sometimes. Micro stutters is what I could call it. I have yet to see any other game feel like this on this new console. I wonder if I can capture it from the system itself. I'll try next time it starts and try to show an example.

It's like someone locking up my frames right when I get shot or something. Like a massive jolt, then it's off. It's true I did play on PC for a long time, but no way I'm confusing this with high refresh rates as my monitor is still only 60 hz (60 hz = 60 FPS) and I use the same monitor for both my PC and Xbox Series X.

@Popa2caps I mean maybe I’m not noticing because of how smooth it was compared to my old one but I really haven’t noticed micro stuttering and that is exactly what I called it on the old Xbox..my game would stutter for a split second every 30 seconds or so, and in heavy battles I would get huge freezes up to almost a second, impossible to win 1v1s like that, anyway that is absent now for me. I do see animation skips sometimes but that isn’t something that affects gameplay for me
