the way cross play works doesn't change for different device:

  • input done from computer
  • output shows up on screen
  • input sent to server
  • input sent to other players
  • output shows up on their screen

So no. Xbox can't have "better cross-play". It's not really possible. You could change how the system above works by putting 3 of those inputs into one packet and then send it to the server, that system is really simple.

Theres rumours, albeit only rumours but there may be a ps5 pro eventually it may be worth holding out for that if it comes.. At the moment the current gen of consoles can only really manage 30fps with rtx on.. The mid gen consoles if they come will likely manage 60fps rtx on.. So I'd say keep your eyes on the rumours and maybe hold out for now.. Or save for a gaming pc in the meantime.

Depends what you play, If you play more single player games I would go with a ps5.. it has better single player and exclusives But if you play more online games go with an Xbox it’s got plenty of online games and it’s build was focused for online multiplayer But generally it’s all up to you my guy 👍🏽

Depends on how much money you can spend. Xbox is great as you know, with gamepass it's the ultimate user-friendly/cheapest game machine ever launched. Yet anybody here could count 10-20 PS games that Xbox has no competition against. It looks like this is going to change but let's be real it's going to take at least a generation for Xbox to have as much heavy hitters as PS.

Personally I have little time for exploring indie games and optimizing graphics settings so I go with consoles and mostly with PS5 and Switch. Their exclusives from Demon's Souls to Mario Odyssey, Uncharted to Zelda, Gran Turismo to Ghost of Tsushima and many more never let me down really. I try smaller games when I'm off the work at summers but my gaming life is like this.

To answer your question, those PS games hold good value. Check them out, even try them out if you can. If you like them PS5 is as great a console as Xbox, you can't go wrong.

>we know what Sony is like. They bring out the more expensive but inferior version first then after a few years a more powerful slim line version will come out.

Thanks for that random information I needed there guys. I really want to get a PS5 but I usually wait because we know what Sony is like. They bring out the more expensive but inferior version first then after a few years a more powerful slim line version will come out. I did that with my PS3 and PS4 and never looked back. I never went for Xbox because of the whole "red button of death" thing was it called? That put me RIGHT off because I still have my very old PS2 and it still works perfectly. Well done to the workmanship at Sony for that 👏 👍

Get the PC, dump the Xbox Series X, and get the PS5. Once you have a gaming pc with Gamepass PC, there is no need for an Xbox because there are few console exclusive Xbox games.

It could be the thermal paste! You can replace it yourself, although i have never done it myself my friend has and he said it was a lot quieter after it.
