@@Ihateasianfood yeah for me personally that's also an issue. But most gamers I know buy the digital ps5 anyway so I think for most they don't care. Personally always love physical copies though.
There is a point to buying the series x as a PlayStation user because you can buy older Xbox physical games for cheaper, you can play older games with backwards compatibility. The PS5 doesn't have, unless if you PS Premium and its only select games. The Series S could just be used for Xbox exclusives. @@Ihateasianfood
I will chime in with some advice for the following scenario which seems to be very common: what to do if you have around 500-600$ and you are split on which one to get. In this scenario, I would say there are two options. If you have that kind of money and you are very hesitant, it's obvious that for you, 4K gaming isn't gonna be a deal breaker even if you would enjoy having it. However if you don't already have a 4K TV, then you are gonna have to spend a significant sum of extra money just to get one. So with that in mind I would heavily suggest to just get the S and save yourself some money. It's not like the S is this huge downgrade in terms of graphics. Yeah the X looks quite a bit more crisp and clean on a 4K TV, but the S looks okay and will definitely get the job done. And like I said, if you are hesitant then you probably don't care about 4K THAT much. So just get the S and Game Pass and start playing, you'll have a good time. If you do already own a 4K TV, then obviously just get the X since your setup is ideal for it. The thing I would advise to keep in mind the most is the storage. On the X it's around 850 GB but on the S it's 350 GB. So unless you wanna get external memory or the expansion card, you will need to learn how to manage your space if you get an S. I struggled at first but I learned how to handle it and now I'm good. But if you want, you can just get the S and with the leftover cash you will still have enough to get the official expansion card which is expensive yes but if you find a good deal on it, it'll be totally worth it just for the ease of access. You just plug it in and you're good. No unscrewing panels and whatnot. Fyi I was in a similar boat, stuck between getting and X or S. But I did some research and realized since I have only a 1080p TV and a 4K would be too much for me, the S would be perfectly fine because I am noy that picky about graphics. And yes it was and still is totally great for me. I love my S and I use it everyday. Game Pass is great too. No complaints from me.
I still use the older Xbox One S console and perfectly happy with it. You can get a new one for less than half the cost of the Series X or S and it even has a drive for discs. Of course the newer games designed for the Series X and S won't run well if at all on the Xbox One but there's still plenty of games out there to enjoy.
Why couldn’t I have found this comments about 4 days ago! Yes! If hesitant about X you gotta also realize not all games are running 4K 120fps if many at all so it’s capable of these things but most times it’s running 2K on most games. I ordered the black S with the 850GB (1terra) … $349
I bought the series x for 350 new during holidays and it's well worth the price. It's built really well and quiet. I'm playing on a 1400p monitor but that doesn't bother me at all because I always choose performance in games, and in performance mode you're not getting 4k anyways, usually it's dynamic 1400-1800p if not less, of course depends on game.
Exactly. I always play on performance mode for all my games and I would rather have a monitor that’s 1440p with a high refresh rate than go for a 4k monitor and be restricted to 60hz. A 1440p 120+ hz monitor is the best sweet spot for the series X unless you want to break the bank and get a 4k 120hz tv or monitor, which is useless anyway as 99% of games can’t even run at that resolution and fps
Xbox X was the go to for me after realizing the X can run Baldurs Gate 3 features while the S cannot. I believe this will be the first for many games, splitting the X and S apart
I plan on buying the series S. I haven’t gamed since early Xbox 360 so I don’t need fancy graphics or speeds. The price point being £250 for the console with 3 months game pass was hard for me to ignore, I’m happy Xbox is trying to remove the entry barrier for newer gaming.
I know it'san upscaled 4k uhd option on series s but it looks pretty good on my 4k 60 fps tv. Much better than on a 1080 tv. I already bought an expansion card. I am on the fence of getting an X but I don't know if I really need to.
Don't save your money 💵 u don't need series x for baby🍼 games indie games cartoon games their people spending 600$ to play free to play games on xbox series x 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I got the Series S first in 2020 and i love it! I just got the Series X this week, and i now realized i wasnt experiencing true next Gen until now. Also something i noticed, when i play Gears 5 my Series S is very loud with the fan. On the Series X its practically silent
My xbox one series S just broke on me yesterday and I'm looking to make the upgrade. Great video helping me on this, going with the series S for me. Cheers
Same, I'm 100% PC master race but CFB is a huge deal for me so now I need to figure out which Xbox to get (already have the controller for Xbox for PC so not going PS route lol)
I become super casual and sold my x and pc with 6950xt and just use series s and it’s more than enough.my tv does such amazing job upscaling 1080p still looks really good plus series s is really small so it’s very easy to travel with
I recommend xbox series x the xbox series s is having issues playing games like baudler gate 3 and coral island crashimg all the time tjey ay fine on xbox series x.
Its quite hard to pick any platform and their options. They're all still way too expensive, and over here, they still cost the same as when the current generation of Xbox and PlayStation launched. Best I can do is dream about owning one
Hi buddy. Thank you so much for this, it has helped me alot! I have been playing PS4 For a long time now. I wanted to play the new Stalker game out soon but its not on PlayStation sadly so to play it I need an xbox. For my needs I will just get the Xbox s. Wouldn't have had a clue without your knowledge. Much respect brother, Steve from the UK.
Can’t decide on which to get. Is the game performance and graphics still pretty good on Xbox series S? That’s the only thing that concerns me. I’m pretty much just getting it for the new college football game & eventually GTA 6.
I owned the series s for a while now and just upgraded to the series x. In my opinion, the series s is beginning to show its limits now, and it struggles on some games. Others run fine, so it's probably just optimization, but still, im glad i got the upgrade.
What is the performance difference when playing in 1080p? Is it negligible and only noticeable when playing in 2k or 4k but not in 1080p on both consoles? I'm primarily PC but I saw NCAAF won't be on PC and console only so trying to decide between S and X.
this really helped me decide what to buy, i can easily buy an S but the X seems like the better route especially for down the line. its like buying a scat pack or just savibg more money and buying a hellcat lol. but tbh i only wanna play ea college football 25 😂 so this video helped thanks.
I only really want to get a console for Halo MCC. Pricewise the Xbox S is great and im not overly concerned about graphics. As long as it looks good and plays well im happy. Need to buy a monitor as well so £250 saving will go towards that. Any suggestions?

I got the x because I like having the option to use the disc drive hand the higher graphics power and it was only a few more dollars a month then the s on a 6 month 0 interest loan so win win win
Hello, I had a question. I want to buy an Xbox Series X. Do you think I should buy the disc-drive model or wait for the digital Xbox Series X to come? Please help me. Thank you. 🙏🙏♥️
Getting an Xbox for Christmas and this one I definitely know the series s will be the one I am getting. They are practically the same console. I am also getting gamepass and a few other things with it. Quite affordable and it suits my gaming needs might I add that my setup is a small stand with a cutting board holding up my tv so the series s should fit well. I’m using a ps4 at the moment (praying my house doesn’t lift off the ground) it is showing its limits and it is big so I don’t have much space to put it. I also have a small room so I need to so I need to save the space I have I also don’t have psp and I don’t plan on buying it because if I switch to Xbox I practically get psp and more did I mention I am getting gp ultimate also for psp I think it is over $100 for the basic yearly subscription and gp ultimate I think is almost as much as that if not less
I don't really have internet I may not have a choice but to go with the series x for the Xbox because you have to have internet to download digital games
What’s is never talked about is the necessity to have a strong internet connection with the S and Game Pass when the X can play non-online games. Being in a wifi “dead” zone, playing streaming games and online teams can be an issue and frustrating as you loose connection and, therefore, your game progress. With the X offering physical games options, this can be the only solution when having bad internet connection
Physical games need internet to be downloaded as well. This was one of the most frustrating aspects of having the physical software, its not ready to go out of the box!
4:30 Can I also in turn use a 3rd party controller on the Xbox? I bought a Logitech controller for my PC and in device manager and in the games it's called an Xbox or Xbox 360 Controller. I really like this design because although it has these Xbox specific elements like the colored YBAX action buttons and the RT/LT-RB/LB designations on the top buttons and triggers it still uses a symmetrical Thumbstick design like the Playstation controllers with the D-Pad beeing placed on the top left were. It's just more intuitive for me that way to play with two sticks. So if I can use the Xbox controller on any game on PC can I also use my 3rd party Logitech Xbox 360 controller on the Xbox Series X without compatibility issues in terms of speed and button mashing? I know this might sound like a silly question but I'm pretty new to thos whole console thing.
Ok I have a 7yr old looking for a ps5 for Christmas but the price of the Xbox S is a big difference but I'd like to know which would last longer and am I better off buying I've googled and watched so many youtube posts that in gone 🥴 please what's your advice he currently has a Nintendo switch
The Xbox Series S is not as strong in performance as the PS5 or the Xbox Series X. What that means is that some games do not look as good and play as smooth. The PS5 will definetly last you longer than the Xbox Series S.
I literally just found out about the series S I really wasn’t about to get the Xbox x until I just felt like spending 500 dollars on a game console. I’m getting old 😩
Hi could you please tell me if there is anything I would miss if I just buy a xbox series s for my son. Can he still play all the games that xbox one x gets? It's more affordable, but I don't want to get something that will be outdated soon
@@aaronbennett7716 it plays all the games that are released on the series X! Developers have to make games for both consoles and you will not be missing out on anything!
If my tv is 4k can I use a series S and it will just run at a lower quality? I don't really care about the quality as long as it's as good (if not better) than the xbox one
Out side of "wanting" the best, I've had a series x, went back to ps5 after a year, recently got a new series s on eBay really cheap, and i was surpringly shocked at how good it is, there's not too much difference only slightly worse graphic fidelity, still let you set it to 4k 120 if you have the correct tv/monitor
I got an S in 2021 and now have an x 3 years later. The S was great but eventually I needed more space on internal ssd and instead of buying a ssd expansion I figured I’d get the x and get the added visuals and performance along with the space
I want the power of the Xbox X, but I travel quite a bit, and the slim design of the Xbox S is very nice. I can fit it in a backpack or small suitcase if I need to. The Xbox X is just too big to do that, and is the only reason I have the Xbox S.
The series s even although no nvidia shield has the possibilities of cloud gaming due to the microsoft edge browser. Which supports browser based cloud game streaming
There’s a ram difference and that may not really matter as much now but it will in the future when a game like gta6 that has to load a huge map with 30-60 people on it at once. The Series S is already starting to run into problems(currently own the series S getting my Series X today) minor things that were easy to fix but still annoying. Sometimes the console won’t turn on/has a booting up problem I’ve had to reset my series S once already. Two of my friends have also had the same thing happen and had to reset there’s as well, but nobody I know that has an X has had the same issue. Gaming will continue to advance Microsoft knows this why do you think the Series S exist in the first place it’s more money for them because they know as time goes on and more games release that are more powerful people will start seeing issues with the S and haft to spend more money to upgrade to the X. I’m not saying the S isn’t worth it though I mean I’ve enjoyed mine since 2022 and for the most part it’s done me justice especially if it’s the only thing you can afford at the time. I will say though just prepare yourself for future problems down the road especially when a title like GTA6 releases the X was made to handle what’s coming but the series S in my opinion wasnt intended to last until the next gen of consoles release why else would Microsoft sell it for so cheap in comparison. also there’s a pro version of the X coming out this November so you can wait for that as well.
I have a question, I'm considering changing from PS 4 Pro to Xbox Seire S, and I'm wondering if it's a good change or if i should stay with my ps 4 pro ?
Different selection of games altogether, but the Series S will allow you to play newer releases where Sony will eventually stop making games for the ps4
I went from a ps4 pro to an S. My ps4 pro has been collecting dust. Not that it's much more powerful or look much better but games run a little smoother especially racing games. Quick resume is cool feature and the loading times are so much better on the S.
I already have a real good pc but I want a console to play ufc and ready for gta 6 launch coz I doubt it will be available on windows the same time as console get it
Xbox is definitely better than PlayStation, whether it’s SX or SS, Just being able to swap between 6 games in the matter of seconds and game pass is enough to put it in the lead I think. Not too mention forza horizon.
I still love using my PS5 and I can say it definitely has advantages over the Xbox, especially with in-game load times with faster SSD speeds. It all comes down to personal preference.
He advises against getting an S if you have a 4K TV, but to be honest I think with its upscaling it looks great, especially for that really low price compared to the X or PS5
Anyone able to tell me if I had the Series S, would I be able to have Fifa and BO6 downloaded at same time along with apps etc. and also if I Baught the next gen bo6 would I be able to play it on Xbox 1 and then when I get Xbox series X/S can I transfer bo6 over?
@@JoshJr98 cheers mate, if say I wanna buy another game. Can I just uninstall cod for abit to make space and if I wanna then jump back on cod can I just do the same and make space and reinstall or does it not work like that
i’m not sure which one to get i was thinking about the xbox series x because it has the disc version and i have games that still need a disc version and i also have online games as well like download games. So im really not sure which one to get. Like which one is better? I also got told the xbox series x was better please help me
Im also on PlayStation, but i love to collect good games. Im looking into getting a new Xbox now but what's holding me back is the question of disc backwards capability i want to play my copies of brute force, jet set radio, and panzer of dragoon. That one feature is all i want Microsoft docent have any new games that excite me but the oldies are gold. Great info though!
i like Japanese consoles & games far better. i am going for Japanese PS5 it feels so Out of This World with thousands of amazing Japanese/Asian games from PS1 PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP & PS5 all on the PS5 console. and then there's the truly amazing innovative creative Dual Sense Controller which is insane crazy fun to play with
Ive looked online, at gameplay, ive talked to my friends about it, they are all saying that the series x and series s can both reach 120 fps stable, by saying the series s maxes at 60 did you mean that the xbox one s gets 60 or the xbox series s?
Google Series S native 4k games and you'll get a few titles that do. Ori is one of them, 4k/60 native. Please stop stressing Series S can only do up to 1440p. By logic, if the Series S cannot go over 1440p, there's no reason for MS to put an HDMI 2.1 port on the system. The Series S is capable of native 4k/120hz just like the X. It all depends on the type of game and if the devs choose to use it
Exceptions are not the rule. The Series S cannot play a majority of titles in 4K 60fps-120fps and the only exceptions are Indie games there are no AA-AAA exceptions
I can't wait to see what gaming looks like in 2034, it's already so advanced. That's if the world is still a functioning existence by then and not destroyed by mankind 🙁 Hopefully not though! 😃😃😃😃😃
I'm a Playstation guy but I have to say both the X and S are solid. For the money the S is hard to ignore, makes next gen gaming more accessible.
Just the fact that its all digital ruins it for me
@@Ihateasianfood yeah for me personally that's also an issue. But most gamers I know buy the digital ps5 anyway so I think for most they don't care. Personally always love physical copies though.

What’s is never talked about is the necessity to have a strong internet connection with the S and Game Pass when the X can play non-online games.
Being in a wifi “dead” zone, playing streaming games and online teams can be an issue and frustrating as you loose connection and, therefore, your game progress. With the X offering physical games options, this can be the only solution when having bad internet connection
This is only an issue with streaming, not download games from Gamepass.
Physical games need internet to be downloaded as well. This was one of the most frustrating aspects of having the physical software, its not ready to go out of the box!
4:30 Can I also in turn use a 3rd party controller on the Xbox?
I bought a Logitech controller for my PC and in device manager and in the games it's called an Xbox or Xbox 360 Controller. I really like this design because although it has these Xbox specific elements like the colored YBAX action buttons and the RT/LT-RB/LB designations on the top buttons and triggers it still uses a symmetrical Thumbstick design like the Playstation controllers with the D-Pad beeing placed on the top left were.
It's just more intuitive for me that way to play with two sticks.
So if I can use the Xbox controller on any game on PC can I also use my 3rd party Logitech Xbox 360 controller on the Xbox Series X without compatibility issues in terms of speed and button mashing?
I know this might sound like a silly question but I'm pretty new to thos whole console thing.
Only Microsoft licensed controllers work on the Xbox
Good advice. Good video.
Ok I have a 7yr old looking for a ps5 for Christmas but the price of the Xbox S is a big difference but I'd like to know which would last longer and am I better off buying I've googled and watched so many youtube posts that in gone 🥴 please what's your advice he currently has a Nintendo switch
The Xbox Series S is not as strong in performance as the PS5 or the Xbox Series X. What that means is that some games do not look as good and play as smooth. The PS5 will definetly last you longer than the Xbox Series S.
Impressive how content creators always forget to mention Microsoft sells an official rechargeable batterie for Xbox controllers for $20
Rechargeable Double A batteries are cheaper and more versatile

So helpful❤❤❤❤
I literally just found out about the series S I really wasn’t about to get the Xbox x until I just felt like spending 500 dollars on a game console. I’m getting old 😩
I feel you on that! Same here
Hi could you please tell me if there is anything I would miss if I just buy a xbox series s for my son. Can he still play all the games that xbox one x gets? It's more affordable, but I don't want to get something that will be outdated soon
@@aaronbennett7716 it plays all the games that are released on the series X! Developers have to make games for both consoles and you will not be missing out on anything!
Try play Ark Ascended on the Xbox S, it’s bad. Can’t see loot drops and fps is terrible. On the X the game is playable
This is what I was looking for , thank you. I play rust and my daughter wants to play it with me but her Xbox suck
@@Dameronjordan ......get a PC......
If my tv is 4k can I use a series S and it will just run at a lower quality? I don't really care about the quality as long as it's as good (if not better) than the xbox one
Yes
Great video 👏
Out side of "wanting" the best, I've had a series x, went back to ps5 after a year, recently got a new series s on eBay really cheap, and i was surpringly shocked at how good it is, there's not too much difference only slightly worse graphic fidelity, still let you set it to 4k 120 if you have the correct tv/monitor
I got an S in 2021 and now have an x 3 years later. The S was great but eventually I needed more space on internal ssd and instead of buying a ssd expansion I figured I’d get the x and get the added visuals and performance along with the space
How can you play games on both consoles if series X uses discs and series S uses digital downloads?
The series X also can play digital games.
If you have alot of games on disc, go with the X. Otherwise get the new S with 850 gb of storage
I want the power of the Xbox X, but I travel quite a bit, and the slim design of the Xbox S is very nice. I can fit it in a backpack or small suitcase if I need to. The Xbox X is just too big to do that, and is the only reason I have the Xbox S.
How do these systems compare when doing cloud gaming?
Depends entirely on your internet connection
The series s even although no nvidia shield has the possibilities of cloud gaming due to the microsoft edge browser. Which supports browser based cloud game streaming
I got both. I travel a lot for work and I bring the series s with me. It’s small and packs very nicely.
Which one has better graphics?
Series x
There’s a ram difference and that may not really matter as much now but it will in the future when a game like gta6 that has to load a huge map with 30-60 people on it at once. The Series S is already starting to run into problems(currently own the series S getting my Series X today) minor things that were easy to fix but still annoying. Sometimes the console won’t turn on/has a booting up problem I’ve had to reset my series S once already. Two of my friends have also had the same thing happen and had to reset there’s as well, but nobody I know that has an X has had the same issue. Gaming will continue to advance Microsoft knows this why do you think the Series S exist in the first place it’s more money for them because they know as time goes on and more games release that are more powerful people will start seeing issues with the S and haft to spend more money to upgrade to the X. I’m not saying the S isn’t worth it though I mean I’ve enjoyed mine since 2022 and for the most part it’s done me justice especially if it’s the only thing you can afford at the time. I will say though just prepare yourself for future problems down the road especially when a title like GTA6 releases the X was made to handle what’s coming but the series S in my opinion wasnt intended to last until the next gen of consoles release why else would Microsoft sell it for so cheap in comparison. also there’s a pro version of the X coming out this November so you can wait for that as well.
thx u da best!
How much of a difference is there in graphics between the 2 ?
Noticeable with textures and draw distance
Can I play 120 fps 1080p on the series x for maximum performance and low input delay?
Yes
I'm gonna get this Xbox series X in christmas instead of buying a handheld pc since i work from home
Great review 👍🏽
I have a question, I'm considering changing from PS 4 Pro to Xbox Seire S, and I'm wondering if it's a good change or if i should stay with my ps 4 pro ?
Different selection of games altogether, but the Series S will allow you to play newer releases where Sony will eventually stop making games for the ps4
I went from a ps4 pro to an S. My ps4 pro has been collecting dust. Not that it's much more powerful or look much better but games run a little smoother especially racing games. Quick resume is cool feature and the loading times are so much better on the S.
I already have a real good pc but I want a console to play ufc and ready for gta 6 launch coz I doubt it will be available on windows the same time as console get it
Is downloading free on the xbox series s,,,?
@@Mansandam you need xbox game pass if you want access to most games
I’d probably say wait till next year so these consoles will drop price😅
Xbox is definitely better than PlayStation, whether it’s SX or SS, Just being able to swap between 6 games in the matter of seconds and game pass is enough to put it in the lead I think.
Not too mention forza horizon.
I still love using my PS5 and I can say it definitely has advantages over the Xbox, especially with in-game load times with faster SSD speeds. It all comes down to personal preference.
I disagree
I mean you can't beat Playstations first party game line up. Crushes x box but I like the series S for value
I play on PC but want to get an xbox just for NBA2k. My monitor i think caps at 1440p so im thinking an S. What do yall think?
Defo get a Series S. You'll be wasting money and losing potential if you get a Series X with only max 1440p.
I got the x series love it
Can I use an external hard drive designed for the S to download all my Xbox one data?
Yes!
@@MannyRataul thanks for the video it helped a lot
He advises against getting an S if you have a 4K TV, but to be honest I think with its upscaling it looks great, especially for that really low price compared to the X or PS5
I used S for 4 years since 2021, it was good enough unless your analyzing every frame and texture
i use a 10 ft. USB a/a extension cable - no need for battery from my couch.
Does the s have a disk drive now?
@@captaingingerbread3874 no
Would you be open to giving away one of them?
Getting the series. X I already have the 4k monitor may as well 😂
Is it true GTA6 won’t be able to run on XboxSX?
@@Losochill lies, it will be able to run
@@MannyRataul ok. Thank you!
I wonder why Sony didn’t make a ps5 equivalent to the series s
The new genz Xbox in 2026 probably be the best console, only 2 years away
Easiest choice ever: got a cheap tv or monitor go for the S, if you got a top of the line super expensive tv or monitor go for the X. Your welcome.
Anyone able to tell me if I had the Series S, would I be able to have Fifa and BO6 downloaded at same time along with apps etc. and also if I Baught the next gen bo6 would I be able to play it on Xbox 1 and then when I get Xbox series X/S can I transfer bo6 over?
, call of duty is like 120 and fifa is like 50 so it will fit but you’ll have barely enough room for another game
@@JoshJr98 cheers mate, if say I wanna buy another game. Can I just uninstall cod for abit to make space and if I wanna then jump back on cod can I just do the same and make space and reinstall or does it not work like that
Series S has outsold X 3 to 1
I heard that too
probably because of the price difference, most people think the only difference is the disc, and that it adds 2 hundred pounds to the cost
Is the series s could upscale 1440p to 4k
no it cant
I gave my s to my brother. But i don't even use 4k on my series x but i still think the 1440 p looks a lot better on series x
I got a series x for 125 pretty happy with it
From where?
i’m not sure which one to get i was thinking about the xbox series x because it has the disc version and i have games that still need a disc version and i also have online games as well like download games. So im really not sure which one to get. Like which one is better? I also got told the xbox series x was better please help me
@@savannahbeishl0719 watch the video I go over all of that
Wouldn't buy either after playing on Xbox. Nothing works offline to much hassle switching consoles. That home Xbox sucks.
I dont know what you’re talking about but both mine work just fine offline 😂😂😂
@MannyRataul I've been playing on Xbox the last 6 years what a horrible experience.
Im also on PlayStation, but i love to collect good games. Im looking into getting a new Xbox now but what's holding me back is the question of disc backwards capability i want to play my copies of brute force, jet set radio, and panzer of dragoon. That one feature is all i want Microsoft docent have any new games that excite me but the oldies are gold. Great info though!
@12:41 my condolences 😢
i like Japanese consoles & games far better. i am going for Japanese PS5 it feels so Out of This World with thousands of amazing Japanese/Asian games from PS1 PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP & PS5 all on the PS5 console. and then there's the truly amazing innovative creative Dual Sense Controller which is insane crazy fun to play with
Well for me ill just go with series x more future proof plus the power remember we are getting gta 6
GTA 6 will still look very good on the series s even though it's not 4k
So basically I have another Xbox and I’m thinking of getting the series s because I can just play my games on the Xbox 1 I got
Series s is limited to 60hz?🙄
@@KhalidAdriano no
Haven't had Xbox since Xbox One they getting real strange over at Microsoft
Just get a ps, all the xbox games are coming to ps. Or get a firestick if you mainly use gamepass.
Ive looked online, at gameplay, ive talked to my friends about it, they are all saying that the series x and series s can both reach 120 fps stable, by saying the series s maxes at 60 did you mean that the xbox one s gets 60 or the xbox series s?
The Xbox Series S can only do 60fps MAX at 1440p for select titles. Most games do not run at 120fps on lower resolutions on the Series S
@@MannyRataul ooooh, ty
Series s can get 120 fps though
Google Series S native 4k games and you'll get a few titles that do. Ori is one of them, 4k/60 native. Please stop stressing Series S can only do up to 1440p. By logic, if the Series S cannot go over 1440p, there's no reason for MS to put an HDMI 2.1 port on the system. The Series S is capable of native 4k/120hz just like the X. It all depends on the type of game and if the devs choose to use it
you can’t play any games at 4k 120fps on the xbox series s only on xbox series x and ps5
Exceptions are not the rule. The Series S cannot play a majority of titles in 4K 60fps-120fps and the only exceptions are Indie games there are no AA-AAA exceptions
I'm not disagreeing with you guys. Just pointing out this video claims the Series S can't go over 1440p is false.
@@PushStart_YT when can the series s go over 1440p?
@@Arretez not often but there are Ori Will of the Wisps 4k/60, Crysis Remastered 4k/30, and a few others.
Ps5
I can't wait to see what gaming looks like in 2034, it's already so advanced. That's if the world is still a functioning existence by then and not destroyed by mankind 🙁 Hopefully not though! 😃😃😃😃😃
Buy the basic S, and add memory, with money saved from buying x. Takes a blind man to see the difference, even on 4k tv
@@Channel567-7 performance will not be the same and AAA titles will struggle, there is a clear and obvious difference
