Not when it comes to memory. The Xbox SS only has 10GB combined system memory and VRAM. The PC version of BG3 requires 8GB system memory plus 4GB of VRAM, so the SS is a couple gigabytes short in total.
Going by the Steam hardware survey, 95% of PCs have at least 8GB of system memory, with 16GB being easily the most common amount. 80% have at least 4GB of VRAM, with 8GB being the most common amount.
Apparently Microsoft wants games to run with only 6GB of shared memory in case there are too many background stuff taking up ram
That number is - well, let's just say, the correct value can be found in the docs here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/gdk/_content/gc/intro/whatsnew/archive/whats-new-2206
“Access to this topic requires membership in an NDA developer program”
So, uh, what’s the correct value, then?
