Yakuza: Like a Dragon Has "Near-Instant Load Times" on Xbox Series X
In an interview for Xbox Wire the chief producer of Yakuza: Like a Dragon - one of the 30+ launch titles for the Xbox Series X, stated that thanks to the unique capabilities of Microsoft's new console the players won't need to wait for loading screens anymore since the game has nearly-instant load times"
"Seeing the game run at a smooth 60 FPS gameplay experience or in native 4K with near-instant load times is incredible."
Both the Xbox X and the PlayStation 5 will feature state-of-the-art internal SSDs that are not yet available on the market for regular consumers. According to Sony's Mark Cerny, this would mean that the PS5 loading times will be more than 500 times faster compared to PS4, at least in theory.
It remains to be seen how this will change the gaming industry and what other ways the developers will come up with to incorporate the various loading screen tips, now that the loading times will be virtually non-existent.
