Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin framerate issues on Xbox One result in ‘sluggish combat’

Not all remasters are created equal.

Released today, Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is an update for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC of From Software’s action role-playing game for the older consoles last year. But it doesn’t perform consistently across the two console versions. The Xbox One version particularly suffers from framerate problems that result in sluggish combat, according to Eurogamer’s performance analysis.
