Reply to Thinking of getting a Xbox series s by Isaac_Maybe

I don’t know if I could ever fully recommend the Series S. If you’re just wanting to get gamepass and play the exclusive titles on there, then that should be fine for the moment.

However there are a lot of developers trying to get Xbox to remove the Series S launch requirements. Essentially making games that are able to play on the console are severely limiting development capabilities.

It’s something Xbox constantly claims is not an issue, but we’ve been hearing multiple developers complaining since even before the consoles launch.

I’m sure that there likely won’t be any big issues for a while, until some really demanding games release, and even then I’d expect Xbox to find a workaround; like games that require more power than the Series S has, have to be streamed.. instead of played on the console itself.

But you still have no guarantees. It’s not as simple as lowering assets, frame rates, resolution… etc… there’s always going to be other development constraints because of the limited power the Series S brings to the table.

So while I doubt Xbox will just roll over and say some games are Series X only, I also don’t think they can willingly just hold back development of every title on their platform just to make sure it runs on their budget console.

Something will have to give.

So as it stands now, Series S, just for playing gamepass first party exclusives is a great buy.. But in the future, it could end up being somewhat obsolete, depending on what Xbox decide to do

You can play all the best PlayStation exclusives on a Microsoft PC now. It's fairly new so you might have missed it. Series X in the living room and a Microsoft PC for the PlayStation exclusives is the best option going forward đź‘Ťđź‘Ť

Elden Ring, Metro Exodus Complete Edition or Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut

These are the most bang for your buck games I own for PS5, also they're pretty high on my favorites list

I don't know anything about ps5 but I have the series x and it's a BEAST

I sold my okay pc after I got the new series x because it just collected dust

The new Xbox is an amazing piece of machinery
