Xbox Series S 512GB Console vs PS5 Slim Disc Console 1TB + Portal Bundle

The PS5 Slim bundle is the stronger pick for most people: it plays 4K games and Blu-ray discs, has a 1TB drive, and adds the PlayStation Portal for handheld play away from the TV. The Series S is the smaller, quieter, cheaper-feeling all-digital box that suits a second room, a 1080p or 1440p TV, and Game Pass. On build, the PS5 is a big, heavy console with a disc drive and a 4.6 rating from over 12,000 owners; the Series S is 60% smaller than the Series X at 4.25 lbs and rates 4.3 from far fewer ratings.

• Choose the Xbox Series S if you want a compact all-digital console for a 1080p or 1440p TV and plan to lean on Game Pass.
• Choose the PS5 Slim bundle if you want 4K gaming, a disc drive for Blu-ray and used games, and the Portal for handheld play.
