    How does this bode well? PCs are extremely varied, as far as I know consoles have known components inside that can be targeted. This isn’t the case with end-user PCs. So why does that translate to good tidings for us?

      The series S is the lowest spec console that they are targeting. In order to get the performance they want out of it, they are trying to optimize as much of the game as they can. Those optimizations have decreased the amount of RAM, VRAM, and CPU load the game is using and those optimizations affect the PC version as well.

        Thank you, I was under the assumption that the benefits of console optimizations are mostly known hardware. I just looked up the Series S, damn.
