Tom Plays Samurai Shodown...again! (XBOX Series S)

Tom took to Twitch again recently to stream some Samurai Shodown following the recent next-gen update, including optimisation for Xbox Series X/S.

As well as a sharper picture and decreased load times, you also get 120 FPS...

Of course the Twitch stream quality ruined the picture sharpness and Tom isn't particularly sensitive to frame rates but he had a great time playing through the game’s Story Mode again with much faster load times..
