    It continues to be wild to me that DTG have not added this to the options on console as this is implemented as a third option on many Series X games. Some Series S games will go as high as it for their "quality" modes.

    As said before, TSW1 and TSW2 routes can run on 4K on series S, so I'm very curious how the Series S will perform on 2K with newer routes. The biggest issue is the fact the FPS is all over the place, some parts are pretty good but big stations and/or many trains at one spot will drop the framerate. Even a lot of trees can hit the framerate hard. Frankfurt HBF on the Frankfurt S-bahn route don't have a solid framerate and this is with the reduced timetable, so there are almost no trains.

    I would never even think of running TSW on Series S at that resolution, back when I was playing on Series X, I ran at 1080 for the performance uplift because I got migraines from the framerate running it at 4k...

    Well, I'm playing on a VRR monitor for that reason, so I don't notice the framerate fluctuation. Without VRR, I can't play lot of games because of an unstable framerate and the stutters caused by it.

    But with VRR, on old routes the framerates are high enough to play on 4K, but I can imagine they are not stable, a FPS limiter at 30 FPS is still missing.

    I'm on PC and I switched from 4k to 2k ( 1440p ) about a year ago and am getting very good performance without any visible graphics penalty. It really is the sweet spot for TSW and consoles should have that option.
