The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Looks to me like only the Series S has access to the latest cheek and chin shaders

Why does a fighting game need a resolution mode?

Given how inferior most resolution modes are in games idg why half of them even have the option. Every now and then one will look noticeably nicer in resolution mode, which is cool to look at for 30 seconds until I turn it back to 60fps. More often than not I can't even tell the difference, but hoo boy I can see that loss of 30fps.

Would you kindly...

The wife and I take advantage of Xboxs "home system" to double dip on game pass subscription and purchased games on two systems at once.
Does anyone have experience doing this with fancy editions of games? Specifically scenarios like Diablo 4 where you can get access 4 days early. Is it a case like battle passes and cosmetics where it flags it only for the buying account?
If we both can play early with one copy might be tempted.

Because the last generation was decided by PS4 making high resolution games that ran at 30 fps (at best) so that screenshots could look good, so it's effectively photo mode everyone has to have or people will pixel peek in comment threads or whatever.

Everyone was warned that there would likely be a significant graphic fidelity hit later down the road on the Series S, only buy that console if that doesn't bother you.

Gotham Knights is the new game, and it sucks regardless of platform its on. I've finished it on PC. The art direction is really dull, and its a very system demanding game.

I presume this is speculating on things that the Xbox "could" do if it had any games to speak of?

It's a good question about the early access. I know the bulk of the extras in the fancier editions of Diablo 4 are account bound (as in battle.net account bound) because they are cross-platform. In fact, the official recommendation for people want to play the game on multiple platforms is to pick one platform to get the fancier edition on and then just get the standard edition on the other platforms, because the bonuses you get will be on your battle.net account and you won't gain anything from a battle pass double dip or whatever. I just have no idea how the early access will be implemented. My guess is that it probably will work but I'm not 100% sure on this. You'll definitely want to make sure whichever of you two gets the actual bonuses logs in first, though, so plan accordingly.

Is Diablo IV cross platform between PC/Xbox/PS? If so and the bonuses being tied to Battle.Net will make me double dip for sure.
