12. Destiny 2 Only Runs At 30FPS On Xbox One X

Bungie confirmed the rather disappointing news this week that Destiny 2 will only run at 30 FPS on Xbox One X, a bizarre move considering the price and beefy technical specs of Microsoft's new platform.

The game wasn't saddled with any parity clauses requiring the same performance on all consoles, and it gets stranger when you consider that Destiny 2 will run at 60 FPS on powerful enough PCs, yet "the most powerful games console ever made" will only run it at half that, apparently in order to maintain stability during multiplayer.

Bungie also said they are "evaluating" the game's 4K potential, which doesn't really instill much confidence about the game looking that much better on Xbox One X than it will on PS4 Pro.
