Is the Xbox Series X worth it over the Series S?

Yes if you have a 4K TV and want a disc drive, 12 teraflops of power and 1TB of storage. The Series S is smaller and digital-only with less power and storage.

How does it compare with the PlayStation 5?

The two are close on raw performance, and the Series X edges ahead on GPU power and backward compatibility. The PS5 has more high-profile exclusives; the Xbox leans on Game Pass.

Does it play older Xbox games?

Yes. It runs games from four generations of Xbox, and many older titles are optimized for higher resolution and frame rates.

Do I need Game Pass Ultimate?

No, but it adds hundreds of games including day-one releases. The membership is sold separately from the console.

The console, one wireless controller, an HDMI cable and a power cord.

Can I add more storage?

Yes, through Seagate and Western Digital expansion cards that slot into the back. You can also run backward-compatible games from a USB drive.

Our take on the Microsoft Xbox Series X 1TB Video Game Console

The Xbox Series X is Microsoft's flagship home console, built around a 12-teraflop GPU, a custom 1TB SSD and 4K output at up to 120 FPS. Its Velocity Architecture and Quick Resume let you jump between several suspended games in seconds, and it plays thousands of titles across four generations of Xbox. It is the most powerful Xbox and the closest rival to the PlayStation 5 on raw graphics, though the PS5 has a stronger lineup of exclusive single-player games. Owners rate it highly for load times, quiet operation and Game Pass value.
