XBOX Series S

[JoeRodgers1175]

My PS4 finally spazzed out and I’m trying to get a PS5 but to no avail. I’m considering jumping to the XBOX Series S because I’m not a dead-serious gamer, it’s cheaper and more available.

My question: is it considered Next Gen and does it get the same updates as the Series X and PS5? I don’t want to buy an obsolete system that won’t get all the newest bells and whistles (or the upcoming college football and EA golf game if they are Next Gen exclusive).

The S series is the X series without the disk drive and smaller initial storage. I think there is a graphics difference if you have newer TV.

I have had my S for a year now love it.

To answer your question though it is like the PS5 bargin console. Its a PS5 just less bells and whistles. Same with the X to S. If you are not big on disc games the S is just fine in my opinion.

The ps5 disc and discless versions are the same unlike the s and x. If you go s you get a graphics drop. Ps5 is same across the board in every facet just no disc.

i went from ps4 to series s last year right before madden came out. playstation refunded my madden preorder and i went and got the S the day after. totally worth it.

i was also considering getting an s but i've seen conflicting reports on the quality. Some say it's fine (being that it is 1080p and not 4k) and others say games look significantly worse than on their previous gen x1x

For the most part, the games looked good on my 4k tv when I had the Series S. I will say that the quality will be different if you play any Xbox One games that aren't optimized for current gen because the S plays the One S version of games while the Series X plays the One X Enhanced version. But if you have a 1080p tv/monitor you would be good to go. I would recommend it if you can't get a Series X or PS5.

I've been playing FIFA 22 next gen on my Xbox Series S and it's been solid. I went that route as well with the price point and the fact that I play very few games on console. I've been pretty happy.
