Character artist Del Walker commented on the Xbox Series S amid a week of disappointing news for Microsoft console fans. The context is that several big games are either not announcing Xbox launch despite going to PC (for example, Final Fantasy XVI) or will arrive on the Microsoft gaming console after a pause (the case of Black Myth: Wukong).

Commenting on the situation, Walker speculated that more games might skip Xbox in the future due to the necessary optimization work for the Xbox Series S. However, he mentioned that his experience working with the Series X was positive. Considering that Xbox Series S has lower-tier hardware compared to its "big brother", this requirement of porting games to both consoles seems to be a big nuisance to developers, to say the least. So, in future, we might see an unexpected side of console wars.

Some people online speculated that Walker was referring to his work on Suicide Squad, but he clarified that he had already left Rocksteady by the time the game was being optimized for the Series S.
