Absolutely bizarre that a 1st party title doesn't seem optimized for the console they're developing for. This makes me skeptical the PC version will be optimized too.

say that the Xbox isn’t powerful enough to run it at anything beyond that.

There's no way they can't just lower the resolution and apply upscaling like every other game that has a quality and performance"mode. They're intentionally locking it to 30 for some bizarre reason.

"It's 4K in the X. It's 1440 on the S. We do lock it at 30, because we want that fidelity, we want all that stuff. We don't want to sacrifice any of it."

I might hope it's not because of the same reason Bethesda locked their framerates, because their entire game's physics and other stuff would break when you unlocked it. I assume it's not, if it's only locked on Xbox, which then would mean that the console is just weak.
