Best Tekken 8 settings for Xbox Series X|S

Tekken 8 has launched exclusively on the new Xbox Series X and Series S consoles. The game isn't available for the last-gen Xbox One, so the developers have been able to bring better performance and resolutions to the fighting experience. The cheaper Series S runs the game at 1440p 60 FPS, while the flagship Series X can do 4K 60 FPS without major issues.

Although there is no Performance or Quality mode toggle in Tekken, unlike some other high-profile Xbox releases, it comes with a bunch of settings that are worth reviewing before getting started. We will list the best combinations for both Microsoft consoles in this article.
