As the title says Minecraft is running at 4K and there is no way to play at lower resolutions on Xbox series s. My console is connected to 1080p tv. After 1.20.60.23 update performance has been decreased and it says on top of the screen that the resolution is 3840x2160.

Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Working as Intended.
The report you have submitted is working as intended: with the newly added 4k support, Minecraft should render in 4k on all screens. If you experience performance issues, please report them separately in a new ticket.
Please note, that mechanics of the game may change between updates.
Things such as graphics, sounds, world creation, biomes, redstone, villagers, and animals may not work the same in current versions.

@EveryCabbage884 This is not supposed to be working this way, at least if the game has performance and optimization on current-gen in mind. Why wouldn’t the game adapt to the screen’s resolution? If for me seeing in 1080p and 4K makes literally no difference because I have a 1080p monitor, why am I forced to choose the most demanding option without giving up on anti-aliasing or sharpening because of upscaling? 4K should be the maximum resolution the user is able to play, not the target resolution that the user must choose without any other option.
Besides, even if it was actually working as intended, then why the resolution properly adapts on Windows and Android platforms? It’s most likely a bug.
We hope it gets reopened, because it can’t be intentional if this behaviour is different from other platforms. Performance loss with minimal advantages can’t be ignored, especially on Series S. Xbox Series S was marketed to be able to run up to 1440p, so it makes sense it struggles with 4K. If the reason it is intentional is downsampling, an Xbox Series S should not use 4 times the amount of pixels on the screen with its limited power.
Allowing the render resolution to be lower to 1440p or 1080p without relying on upscaling would make the experience playable in terms of performance.
