It's not that bad: the developer of Stalker 2 has corrected its own mistake and named the correct information about the game's performance on Xbox Series S
A few days ago New Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl details - duration, story DLC, mod support, Microsoft's influence, performance and A-Life 2.0 system details developers of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, in which the lead producer Slava Lukyanenka said that on the weak Xbox Series S console at the moment the game runs at 25 FPS.
This figure somewhat upset users of this device, because to play a dynamic and complex shooter with such a framerate will be, to put it mildly, not convenient.
But it turned out that the developer made a reservation and the situation is much better.
Here's What We Know
On his page in X producer GSC Game World explained that due to heavy workload and fatigue, he gave an inaccurate figure.
In fact, with the current optimisation on Xbox Series S Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl runs at 34-36 FPS, and the confusion arose due to the fact that in some locations the game's performance drops, which is what the developers are fighting against now.
Just to clarify my thoughts, I said something during the interview on Gamescom.

Yes, that's what I said.
However, it seems something glitched in my head during the interview, as I wanted to say 'around 35 FPS' ???? https://t.co/sIGS3iXcIk
In general, the game designers aim for the shooter to produce a stable 30 FPS on Series S in all locations, while on Series X, users can expect 60 FPS.
In optimising Stalker 2 Ukrainian developers are assisted by Microsoft, which allows us to hope for decent performance on the release day of the highly anticipated game.
When We Can Expect It
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl will be released on November 20 on PC and Xbox Series, the shooter will immediately appear in the Xbox Game Pass catalogue.
