The Xbox One X IS BETTER Than Xbox Series S... Really?

THIS IS IT! 2022 is off to an AMAZING start for Xbox. But should you upgrade from a One X to a Series S? This question has plagued the interwebs since the Series S was announced. Hopefully I can shed some insight as I showcase what really matters.

I have the Xbox One X and think it's PERFECTLY fine for gaming! I'm not going to buy an all digital game system just because it has quick resume. Not to mention that since the Series S doesn’t have a disc drive storage will fill up rather quickly. (Stick with the One X)

[jaeduff]

After owning both consoles for over a year, I can say that it all depends upon the type of games that you primarily play. As far as modern games, I prefer the performance of the series s over the raw graphical output of the one x. I mainly gravitate towards 360 and original XB games at the moment, so the one x was more convenient as its cheaper to buy the game disk instead of overpaying for the digital version (unless its on sale).

I own both Series S and One X but when playing Skyrim or Fallout 4 its a pain waiting on those load times on the One X. SS dust the One X with load speeds. Storage wise i bought a used 1tb SSD for $40 and im all good to go

[manupasta]

have my series x since release, and recently installed an internal SSD and repasted the CPU, and wow that Xbox One X feels insane now. I use the xbox one x as a media machine. 4K blu ray player, optical input and with an SSD feels amazing!

[georgeknight]

I currently have a ps4 and the one x seems like the best option at the moment. Xbox cloud gaming means you can play all the new exclusives whilst with the backwards compatibility and disk drive not be locked into needing game pass or purchasing digital games

[samuraispiritsx]

One X is better in almost every way. You can update the One X with a SATA SSD. Only issue with it is Microsoft is cutting support for it.

[deathwarrent]

Load times make good breaks to piss and grab more beer🤣

[fightnightrumble]

I feel like it's preference, I have all of them & I understand what each system doe's so it's easy to decide what to buy but all of them are great systems & only if people are comparing the systems would be any reason for a debate about wich one to buy...Overall Microsoft explained the details & specs of each console so you really can't go wrong with either...

[SkyScourgeGod]

The One X can play physical discs so if you're a physical collector than the Series S isn't even in the cards. In addition, by equipping the One X with an internal SSD, the consoles overall performance, load times and UI functions improve dramatically. Still not as fast and snappy as a Series S and the One X CPU is still pretty underpowered, but many games on the One X will run at 1080p while maintaining a pretty rock solid framerate, going as high as 60 fps even in games like Halo Infinite. They'll also play in 4K but the framerate will take a hit so, in my opinion, its probably better to think of the One X as a 1080p machine. Only the Series X can pull off high framerate 4K gaming as far as Xbox goes.

Maybe one day developers will use the RT cores in the S. I think that would make the Series S if you don't mind 1080P 30 to 60. What MS should do is able to make the Series S detect another console on the same layer 2 network, and authorise the the disk in that console.

[drummer]

The One X is the best console Microsoft have made since the 360. Really? YES.

[simonriley]

I'd rather stick with the One X, just not enough memory on the Series S and I can't justify the price of buying the Series S and then buying more storage when I could spend my money on something more worth it, I'm not too bothered with waiting for the load time to be able to have more games on one console, also I prefer quality as you said if you try to go for quality on the Series S there's a definite FPS problem, I just wish that you could upgrade to SSD on the One X as surely you could load games faster, one thing I'm pissed at xbox for though is the One X was meant to be the go between before you upgraded but the truth is it's not because most game developers aren't willing to support it now the next gen is out making it almost obsolete, like CDPRED we basically sank money into Cyberpunk 2077 just for it to run like shit, some of us asked for our money back and some of us decided to wait in faith just for them to throw it back in our faces like they fixed the game almost but now they're saying there focus won't be on the One, the truth is that the One X is still relevant and can keep up with the Series S and developers could easily keep the One X up to date but they just won't as it's tied to the Xbox One I don't get it 🤷

[ronjonsps]

Having both systems, the series S is better. More features, like auto HDR on most games.The x only x enhanced games.

[THPIONEER]

Wasn't sure if you mentioned the SSD upgrade on the One X? I just upgraded mine to a Samsung 1TB SSD yesterday and my god it has made massive improvements to game load times and graphic performance. I am giving this console to my nephew for his birthday as I also bought a Series X about a month ago. Personally, I would take an Xbox One X with internal SSD over a Series S anyday.

[MetallicaKing]

Keep in mind though that in order to take a vantage of the upscaled graphics or the 120 FPS output, you either have to have a UHD/4K TV or a TV that is 120 Hz. Not everybody has one, but I do know that there are some UHD PC monitors that are compatible, that allow upscaled 1440P.

[Tony_Re-imagined]

i really like my one x, with slower loadup speeds it makes up for in gameplay and quality and speed. It is still an amazing console

[minusskydiver]

One thing you didn't talk about much is the game availability. Series S can play games made for X/S whereas one x is kinda limited on some games but not a ton. One game I wanted to play was century age of ashes, which can only be played on x/s consoles. But I can't because one x can't run it.

[JetmanUK]

As an owner of a One X & Series S (and Series X actually) I think the XSS is better than the One X. The loading and frame rates are a great upgrade and when games actually utilise the features of the new GPU you see that the graphics can be very good on the XSS.

The storage isn't even an issue as I used to use external drives with my One X, I have them plugged into the XSS and games load faster from there too. Juts keep your old Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Xbox OG games on an external HDD or even better external SSD (they load as quickly as when installed on the internal drive, see Digital Foundry) and they will load quickly and you've got the internal storage for new games.

Even some games which are upgraded (Gen9 aware games) will play from external storage too, so I don't see any issue with the 500gb SSD in the XSS.

Now, with regards to the difference between the XSS & XSX I have the X downstairs with the S as my bedroom console.... but I have to say that the S is a strong performer and will most definitely do for most people, particularly if your purchase is budget driven and you have a smaller TV.

I got an Xbox One X for Christmas 2017 and have no regrets. As for load times, an external SSD help with that. Even an external HDD is faster than the internal. As for resuming, you can resume a game on the Xbox One X. I've done it a few times. I just push the power button and when I turn the system back on the game is ready for me to continue on playing when I launch it.

[guitarmeggedonit]

I had a $60 1Tb SSD I bought and with the One X costing me $190, I got a nice system. The games load twice as fast off the external SSD. For $250, I get 4K gaming and a moderate decrease in loading times.
