Games are subjective, but let’s get down to the key practical difference since we are comparing a disc-based console with a disc-less one.
Xbox serie s series#
While the PS5 is a divisive eyesore and the second heaviest PlayStation of all time, the Xbox Series S is the smallest Xbox Microsoft has ever made, making it an easy fit under your TV or alongside any other hardware vying for shelf space. There’s one area where the Series S wins hands down: and that’s based on size. Of course, if you want to play Xbox Series S optimized games or PS5 titles, you’ll need to transfer them onto the internal drive. The ability to put games on an external hard drive was missing from PS5 at launch but Sony has since updated the system allowing this feature. However, you can also opt for a more affordable external hard drive to keep games in cold storage, while still running last-gen games (albeit without the benefit of faster loading times). The proprietary Seagate storage expansion cards, while far more convenient to plug in compared to having to open up the PS5 and screw in an SSD, are also expensive, which might make some wonder why they didn’t just invest in the more powerful Series X instead. One of the sore points with Series S is its small 512GB storage, which will leave you with little room if you’ve already installed Grand Theft Auto 5 and/or the latest Call of Duty. CPU: Eight-core 3.6GHz (3.4GHz with SMT) custom AMD 7nm.However, the more affordable Xbox takes advantage of FPS Boost, a feature where Microsoft has enhanced the framerates of select backward compatible games, and is capable of ray tracing, 120Hz output, and has super-fast load times thanks to its NVMe SSD. Xbox One X owners might consider the Xbox Series S a downgrade as it doesn’t support native 4K and as a result, backward compatible games do not include enhancements made for Xbox One X consoles. Some games do hit 4K resolution, like Ori and the Will of the Wisps, but it isn’t the norm.
Xbox serie s upgrade#
The Xbox Series S feels more like an iterative upgrade from the Xbox One, then, though it’s a capable next-gen console nonetheless that can still run the same games as Xbox Series X as long as you’re fine with a maximum 1440p resolution, which can still be upscaled to 4K. These features are leveraged especially effectively with Sony’s own first-party titles, including Astro’s Playroom, which is pre-installed on every PlayStation 5.
Its Tempest 3D audio engine also enables spatial surround sound technology, which now works on TV speakers rather than just through headphones. What these specs don’t include is that the PS5 also delivers a more immersive gaming experience thanks to the DualSense controller’s haptics, adaptive triggers, and built-in speaker and microphone, the latter also functioning for voice chat if you lack a headset.
In terms of raw power, the PS5 is far more powerful than the Xbox Series S both from a technical perspective and by what you can see, hear and feel.
